    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).

          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.

            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.

                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?

                              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.

                                      Most people who own these crappy cars can't even really afford them. Now they are in big trouble because they can't get rid of them. Lol.

                                        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.
