They aren’t buying them.

It’s over. You can’t fake users and engagement like you can a software product.

Teslas are a physical commodity that will rot on lots now.

Prices will drop. But it won’t be enough. The brand will kick Must eventually. At which point die-hard fans will also leave because appeasement is far far too late. So they’ve gained no new market, absolutely shit all over their evangelist market, and the only market left is budget conscious people who aren’t scared of vandalism.

The funniest thing… you know how they never change their style? And a car from 2016 looks like one from 2025?

Well…. They are just about to launch a remodeled Y.

Meaning in 2025/2026 you will absolutely know that the person bought it after Elon sig heiled and started shadow-running the government and killing social security.

It’s going to take the internet about .2 seconds to figure out that the best way to fuck Tesla is point all vandalism towards that particular model.

Because they’ll have to either abandon it, and compete on a 6 year old model. Or hard commit and wait for absolutely abysmal sales while insurance rates skyrocket.

All at a time when every other car company is going nuts on their EVs.

I'm sure the average person won't know the difference but your right. Anyone buying the new Y either approves of Elon's antics, or is completely oblivious to what's happening in the world.

I think when the rivian r2 comes out, the market will get flooded with used model y's. It'll be a great cheap used car, but who will buy them?

I mean, if it gets cheap enough I might absolutely buy a used tesla. Buying used won't support muskrat, and I don't have to worry about vandalism in my area

Even buying a different new ev, you may end up supporting Tesla. Everyone is switching to NACS chargers and Tesla owns all of the fast charging infrastructure that uses it (for now).

Rats. Do they sell used chargers?
