I keep seeing posts about "selling your Tesla" but for someone to sell it, someone else has to buy it, so how does that fix anything exactly?

Not buying new Teslas keeps demand lower.

My point was how are people meant to "sell their Nazi cars* without having someone to buy them?

There are premusably people who don't mind the stigma of owning one of these things. Having them buy used from a person instead of new from Tesla is better. It puts zero dollars into Musk's pocket.

A dealership would buy it. I see it as a race to get rid of a rapidly depreciating asset.

People are fucking pissed at elon and don't want to support him More and more issues are found with the newer vehicles

The resale value is going to continue to drop, so people really should drop it before you're paying rue dealership to take it back

All in all, we've known for a long time Soon is a shit bag. So no sympathies for those with the on fire assets debating to drive the Nazi mobiles or eat the sunken costs (easy decision IMO)

Then the dealership will try and resell it to someone else, assuming they actually do take it. They've likely noticed the price falling and wouldn't want to catch the knife either?
