Buy the car that has more fatalities than the Ford Pinto had.

That will get those libs.

That's okay, it's only the cost of, what, a couple eggs?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago

I mean, it's a couple of eggs, Michael. What could they cost? 10 dollars?

But Tesla is electric and electric cars are communism

I firmly believe some MAGA somewhere is out there right now expecting a loan approval to buy the most expensive Tesla out there, not knowing an unemployment letter is already being typed out.

One can hope for such poetic justice.

not knowing an unemployment letter is already being typed out.

Probably being typed out by a DOGE staffer because they’re a government worker.

~~typed out~~ AI generated, because it’s far more efficient to burn electricity so that Grok can help in dismantling our government; Formulating the first “AI destroys humanity” plot that sci fi always warned us about, but decidedly more boring

Really a shitty version of it. No sentence. No reasoning ability. Just algorithmic predictive text with a massive data set that manages to sound "intelligent" enough to fool the credible.

They will somehow blame Obama for it

What's fucking hilarious is Tesla is running a 0% down 0% apr loan....

Before the auto industry stopped doing those, they were sometimes referred to as a "crash out loan".

Because you can get a brand new car for $0 for the first month, and collections move slow. It could be 6-12 months before repo even starts.

That's not even getting into how common "thefts" of those cars happened as soon as they left the lot.

But even if it's not nefarious, trumpers believe any day now they'll be millionaires.

Best case scenario Tesla's going to have a huge used inventory no one wants for a couple months payments.

Even if someone pays it off on time, Tesla still loses money on the financing. This is classic death spiral and it being a meme stock might not save it.

Quick edit to add:

People are protesting stores still, they need to protest factories. With a bloating inventory and no sales, Tesla is going to do stupid things to keep production online, be cause if they shutdown it's a lot harder to start up when they still can't sell any.

Factories shutting down even for a week or two could legitimately kill the company.

Can they brick the cars remotely or suspend whatever is needed to operate the vehicle if you miss one payment?

If you believe Musk they can drive themselves to a dealership...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

I'd believe they can drive themselves through a dealership

Don't these people hate electric vehicles?

[–] didnt1able 27 points 14 hours ago

No they hate liberals, liberals who drive electric vehicles. Now liberals are moving away from tesla which means teslas are okay.
