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

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.
Sell a vandalised one then. At least you know it won't be going to a maga.
I'd just park it in portland overnight and file an insurance claim the next morning.

No sympathy.
While it's nice to protest outside of the Tesla dealership, people should be protesting outside of US embassies, and while they are at it, protest outside of the Chinese and Russian embassies too. Block them in.
People are doing. But embassies tend to be in capital cities but Tesla dealerships are everywhere.
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.
Audi.
Ioniq?
Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.
Lots of choice in Europe
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.
I hope byd buys them for pennies on the dollar and they keep people employed
But most importantly I hope it's for pennies on the thousands of dollars
Now just block trump properties
what you expect from temupanzers
I shamefully admit I almost pulled the trigger on a Tesla Model S Plaid back in 2021 or 2022. Flush with a shit ton of cash, but fortunately I was reading reports of production build quality issues, many recalls, and ultimately pulled back my deposit.
Looking back at it. The one decision I have no regrets on.
