Used Tesla prices tumble as embarrassed owners look to sell
-
Tesla was a long way ahead of the competition for a very long time, to the point where they were the only option for a vehicle that was genuinely a replacement for a combustion vehicle.
Without them, I very much doubt EV market share would be anywhere near what it is today.
Don't know about that. Leaf has been pretty important as well.

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.

Thats some serious "you say we should improve society? yet you participate in society, Curious!" energy in that post right there.
Nah, quite the opposite. My point is that we have to live in the society we're in. You want to label one billionaire asshole as worse than the others just so you can feel smugly superior to people who are, for the most part, more leftist than the average and in the same working class bucket you presumably are. It doesn't help anyone.
Shit on Musk, shit on Tesla. They deserve it. Don't shit on the people who should be your allies. It's counter productive.

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

So, if the Volkswagen Group car brands all dissolved and the people in charge created a new company that'd be just fine? Why would we boycott a company for what happened 80 years ago? We can just build a wall around Germany then.
What exactly is problematic? The past has happened and it cannot be changed; how you deal with it is the only question, and the Germans in particular have dealt with it admirably. It only matters what they do with they're given. Nothing is static, especially not a company which is just a reflection of their owners and employees.
Would it make you or anyone happier if we drove in Skodas rather than Volkswagens?
I agree with some of your points and the only thing I’d add is brands are symbols, and if a brand is left intact after an atrocity what does that say? I don’t think the brands should exist any more than keeping the same people in charge.

Ublock works just fine on the Atlantic.
Sure, but not everyone is using Ublock? One could argue that they should be, but what's wrong with offering an alternative?

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

What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?

hard to estimate, but probably not. I think what makes such companies go down is when the investors fear their money might be lost. that is, when the company is not worth much compared to their invested money.
So only, when the user count is dropping, that would be the case for paypal.

The car I had in high school is absurdly rare these days.
I had a 1989 Ford Probe.
Did the probe share parts etc with the eagle talon and the Mitsubishi eclipse or am i thinking of something else?

Benefits of specifically Tesla is that they're dirt cheap comparatively, especially if you actually want a car and not some giant honking SUV or pickup truck. You can get a car with a 360+ mile range (3rd parties tested and got slightly more) for ~$35k after federal rebate. No one can compete with that and it's not even close.
It's one of the most expensive in Canada. 60K for a RWD base Model 3. You can get an AWD Ioniq for that, and should, since Hyundai can actually build a car.

Glances nervously at Ford, Mitsubishi, VW, BMW...
Shh if the guy you're replying to could read history theyd be very upset

That's crazy, I wonder why that is?
Does the Hyundai have 350+ miles of range at that price?
Also I did say I was specifically speaking about cars, not SUVs.

Range on both is over 500km. They're pretty much the only EVs that have that much range. But the fit and finish on the Ioniq makes it a luxury car by comparison. And they don't have that Musky smell about them.

No. There were design similarities, but it was basically a Mazda MX-6. Which I also owned later. That one tried to kill me with fire.

It has been, but the leaf was very much a "second car" for a very long time. They had relatively short range, an air cooled battery, and as a result couldn't be charged particularly fast. The battery would also overheat if you tried to charge it multiple times.
Tesla, on the water, had a water cooled battery pack, and could be fast charged multiple times per day, and much faster than other vehicles, meaning a road trip was actually possible.

2025 Model 3: 186"L x 73"W x 57"H
2025 Audi A4 Sedan: 188"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Chevy Malibu: 194"L x 73"W x 57"H
2004 Ford Taurus: 198"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Mercedes CLA: 185"L x 73"W x 55"H
2025 Nissan Leaf: 176"L x 71"W x 61"H
2025 Audi A3 Sedan: 177"L x 72"W x 56"HWhat do you mean the Model 3 is huge? It's small by American standards and standard by European executive compacts. Compared to what, a Leaf? If the Leaf had a sedan counterpart, it'd be the same size as the 3. Vice versa if the 3 had a hatch version, as a hatch is often about 9" shorter than a sedan of the same model. Of all the things against Tesla, I can't say I've heard anyone call the 3 big. If you're not in North America, I'm not familiar with the compacts and hatches, but that's why I threw in the Germans I know

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.
Trump and musk couldn't care less about protests outside embassies.
The Tesla protests are hurting musk.
