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 would be good for the EV conversion market. Since they use a lot of Tesla motors and battery packs.
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.
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.
When you want a job done right, don't leave it to amateurs, go to stealmytesla.com.
satire? that shit is funny as hell.
No sympathy.
Fuck every Tesla owner. Unironically, they knew what they bought.
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.
Trump and musk couldn't care less about protests outside embassies.
The Tesla protests are hurting musk.
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.
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
2025 Model 3: 186"L x 73"W x 57"H
2025 Audi A4 Sedan: 188"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Chevy Malibu: 194"L x 73"W x 57"H
2004 Ford Taurus: 198"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Mercedes CLA: 185"L x 73"W x 55"H
2025 Nissan Leaf: 176"L x 71"W x 61"H
2025 Audi A3 Sedan: 177"L x 72"W x 56"H
What do you mean the Model 3 is huge? It's small by American standards and standard by European executive compacts. Compared to what, a Leaf? If the Leaf had a sedan counterpart, it'd be the same size as the 3. Vice versa if the 3 had a hatch version, as a hatch is often about 9" shorter than a sedan of the same model. Of all the things against Tesla, I can't say I've heard anyone call the 3 big. If you're not in North America, I'm not familiar with the compacts and hatches, but that's why I threw in the Germans I know
Ioniq?
Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.
Audi.
Lots of choice in Europe
