    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.

      It's not about "judging," it's about not feeling sorry for Tesla's name being attached to a shitty eugenicist since he himself was a eugenicist

      I think being a shitty eugenicist non-expert in 1900 is a lot less egregious than being a shitty eugenicist who claims to be an expert in everything in 2025.

      also, there's plenty of other stuff for him to be ashamed of with this association.

        If I were to drive one, I would never let such circumstances push me to sell.

          The car I had in high school is absurdly rare these days.

          I had a 1989 Ford Probe.

            If they use the Supercharger network, or get the vehicle serviced by Tesla, then they're making money still.

            But, the right thing to do is to keep running the vehicle, you're right about that.

            At least some Teslas use the Supercharger network for free, so they're a drain on the company at this point. But I think they canned that program a while back for new sales.

            Personally, if I picked one up (and I probably wouldn't unless it was even cheaper than they are now), I'd spray paint it in gaudy pansexual pride flag colors.

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

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

                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.

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

                    Your weird attempt at labeling gaslighting sure as hell didn't work dude.

                    Even if you werent a Musk fanboy, Tesla cars have literally always been shit quality, this is well known. I remember videos from 2015 from brand new Teslas with massive cracks going down the length of the car.

                    But yeah Im gaslighting! Hahaha not the fucking Nazi madman scamming you all, what a joke.

                    Additionally, Tesla has and ALWAYS has been extremely anti-consumer and anti-repair, they do not give a fuck about you.

                    Nah what you're doing is textbook gaslighting. Not to mention, putting words in my mouth. You wanna have a level headed conversation, I'm down, but if you're gonna continue to let emotion take over, I'm out.

                      I'm not sure how it even managed to get so big when the EV1 was so beloved but supposedly killed by the automotive industry.

                      The EV1 was too far ahead of its time. The tech wasn’t there and to even accomplish what they did cost far more than they could hope to sell it for.
                      An estimate that each EV1 cost GM around $100k to make in the early 90’s (so around $200k in today’s dollars).

                      Battery tech has progressed massively since then and makes all of this possible now (even if it’s still expensive).

                        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.

                          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.

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

                              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.

                                  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.

                                      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?
