This will be great for business. If I had Tesla, I would try to get rid of it.
I’m working in Germany, and I see a lot of people complain about Musk and switching from Tesla, which was a very popular even a few years ago.
The people who can afford overpriced EVs are also the ones who can afford the “virtue signaling” to switch to another brand - especially as now there are a lot of great alternatives, many of them cheaper and better.
record number of people are buying Teslas!
Narrator: "Most were used."
Haha, I saw someone already selling elon salute stickers to put on Teslas. I kind of feel bad for anyone who bought one used or a long time ago.
Don’t feel bad. If you bought one in the last 8 years, you weren’t paying attention because he had already called the diver who rescued the soccer team trapped in a cave in Thailand a pedophile because they refused to use his horrible, horrible submarine idea. The man has always been megalomaniac.
everyone of the top 1% has to be a megalomaniac. openly supporting nazis and displaying their symbols is an entirely different thing.
I’d raise the bar to top 0.1%, or better yet, not make it an absolute cutoff. Physicians and engineers fall in the 1% and I have to believe many of them are highly skilled, driven by subject matter, and desire to do good for humanity.
i've met too many physicians to agree with your analysis of them
Many, sure. But the number of qualified doctors in my area shilling antivax nonsense has colored my perception.
I've talked to far too many engineers to give them any sort of normal leeway.
Assuming you can sell the Tesla, doesn't that just mean that there are just as many people looking to buy a Tesla?
Not for Fuehrer's company. He gets nothing from that.
You may be taking quite a loss but someone would buy it. As an extreme of you offer to take one dollar for the Tesla there would be plenty of potential takers because a cars a car.
Selling used for cheap also puts pressure on new car demand.
