I have one that’s nearly 7 years old, fully paid for and still works well. I hate having to own any car and environmentally, the best car is the one you already have. Getting an equivalent car at a reduced trade-in price would cost 20k and I would do it on principle if I could afford to.

BMW and Mercedes both supported Nazi’s during the holocaust and I believe they should receive the same treatment but it’s been the better part of a century and they’re still here. I’d go so far as to argue that cars are just consumerized war vehicles that a civil society has limited use for given the potential benefits of mass transit.

Oil companies bribed and lobbied against clean, efficient, exciting transit decades ago and were all poorer for it.

Who is buying all these Teslas that Tesla owners are all selling because nobody wants a Tesla?

I wonder if someone breaking it and collecting insurance money from it would end up being the preferred option over selling it.

What happens if Tesla falls? America's charging station infrastructure is owned by Tesla. Looks like the whole EV push has been a complete failure. What about the environment and global warming, seems like people really don't care about any of that in comparison to settling political grievances. It is what it is.

There is no point in worrying about the environment without first fighting against facism.
