My car is 8 years old and paid off. I’m sorry we didn’t have many options 8 years ago and we didn’t know who he was. I’m glad I have an EV now because gas is crazy and my electricity is $0.13/kWh vs $5.50 for gas, even though I barely drive it since I live in a city now and take public transit, but my wife uses it to drive to work. I am not going to buy another tesla if we ever need another car.
But there’s no point in selling a car that we use at a loss right now. I don’t give him any money besides long distance trips with the superchargers, but every new EV uses the Tesla super chargers now.
At least disable data collection.
You'll never not sell a car at a loss
Um where have you been? With chip shortage and supply chain issues the dealers were phoning people up and offering more than they paid to get cars back.
A friend drove a van for 2 years and dealer bought it back over new price. . Used cars have been crazy prices too. A car you'd have paid $1800 for 6 years ago is now $6000 even with six years more
Saying "my principles have a price tag on them" sounded bad.
