That would be good for the EV conversion market. Since they use a lot of Tesla motors and battery packs.

If I had one I'd keep it, vandalise it myself and turn it into an anti-musk advertising vehicle. It's a bad idea to waste the resources that went into making them.

But selling a used one to someone that wants an affordable EV will potentially turn someone from buying one brand new, and therefore keeping profits out of Little Musky's pockets.

Sell a vandalised one then. At least you know it won't be going to a maga.

I'd just park it in portland overnight and file an insurance claim the next morning.

When you want a job done right, don't leave it to amateurs, go to stealmytesla.com.

No sympathy.

While it's nice to protest outside of the Tesla dealership, people should be protesting outside of US embassies, and while they are at it, protest outside of the Chinese and Russian embassies too. Block them in.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

People are doing. But embassies tend to be in capital cities but Tesla dealerships are everywhere.

I know this the unpopular opinion at the moment, but what electric sedan is better than a model 3? The rest of the producers have all decided we want to drive crossovers or boxes and simply cannot figure out how to make a frunk.

The first few times sitting in or driving a tesla was cool and novel. But after you have used the fart simulator app a few times, and let your sister in law post a few pictures. It's just a car that takes a lot of space in small parking spots.

It is low quality, breaks often, expensive to repair, barely fits parking spots, expensive to buy, has paid for addons that have been coming soon the last 10 years

There is a lot of other electric vehicles I'd rather have

Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.

Lots of choice in Europe

Who will service those when Tesla goes out of business? Where will you get parts? Yeah, it's time to jump ship

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

You can still get aftermarket parts for Pontiac vehicles. Then again Pontiac didn't go around suing everyone who even thought about making aftermarket parts for their vehicles.

I hope byd buys them for pennies on the dollar and they keep people employed

But most importantly I hope it's for pennies on the thousands of dollars

Now just block trump properties
