    Not the easiest the sell a car. I bet even less easy with a Tesla in the current situation. They probably may be able to buy something cheaper if they sold it. The question is could they buy a another EV if they sold this one? They are probably stuck with their Tesla.

        From an environmental standpoint (something likely important to most Tesla drivers) scrapping all those vehicles would be insane.

          Ok lol you want to talk about the environment? The cars shouldn’t have ever even been built in the first place then.

          If these drivers cared about the environment, they wouldn’t be driving cars anyway. Every car pollutes microplastics all the time.

          Tesla’s more complicated supply chains make more waste than building public transportation would.

          Electric cars make sure effective transportation remains a luxury only for those who can afford one.

            The cars shouldn’t have ever even been built in the first place then.

            Perhaps, but they were in fact built, and destroying them will likely result in more cars being built.

            If these drivers cared about the environment, they wouldn’t be driving cars anyway.

            Perhaps, but judging the motives of the drivers has zero relevance to anything I said.

            Anyways, the whole “You can’t live within the rules of the existing system and try to change it without being a hypocrite” edgelord schtick is dumb.

            Electric cars make sure effective transportation remains a luxury only for those who can afford one.

            That’s news to me. I have been saving a ton of money by driving used electrics. The savings on gas and maintenance more than make up for the extra up front costs. You are parroting common knowledge that’s dead wrong. Teslas are luxury vehicles, and that’s what makes them more expensive.

              You obviously can’t engage in good faith.

              Perhaps you should sell your nazi car. Then people won’t think you’re a nazi

                  “Oh no they made me buy the car I’m a helpless consumer!”

                  “People with the money to buy a brand new Tesla can’t afford to sell their Teslas and buy a different car!”

                  “You’re just a mean troll”
