I saw a Model Y today that was debadged. First time I’ve seen that. Give them a pass? I know most will say no, but certainly there’s people out there who don’t keep up with news and bought a Tesla because it was a choice for an EV and no other reason? I just don’t like throwing people under the EV only because of what product they picked.
Yes, after the fact you can’t just dump what you have and get something else unless you can afford to lose the money. I was referring to when some were out looking for an EV, especially back when Tesla was the name everyone was talking about. Now there’s much less of an excuse since other brands offer decent alternatives.
You know I would argue with you that people that could afford a trend car won’t likely hurt that much if they lose money on a trade, but I met a dude in ft Lauderdale who was mad over extended on his financials to look trendy. Same area many years earlier I met a Publix cashier who drove one of those small lotus’ not the 340r but something with an enclosed cabin.

It’s not even about keeping up with the news… It’s about people who can’t afford to switch, for a multitude of reasons.

Edit: looked it up it was the Elise.
Yeah. It’s crazy how much people overextend finances for cars
I have BYD badges on mine until I figure out what I’m doing with it. The Rivian R3X can’t get here quick enough.
