    No sympathy.

    e: do you seriously expect me to care about your bad investment when my car (that I love and baby) is worth less than $5,000? Scrap yards exist. Your bad decision is worth more in parts than my home. And I am currently having to fight to keep my fucking car.

      Edit I kind of skimmed the part where you said cyber trucks owners are Nazis. By that I mean, I read it is as Tesla owners are Nazis. Yeah, anyone who bought a Tesla in the last 5 years is probably a piece of garbage human or is an unfortunate result of a failed education. Which also makes selling them for good price a whole lot harder. The bumper stickers are a bandaid people use to make them selves feel a tiny it better, and a little extra hope their tires won’t get slashed.


      People bought into the marketing hype pre-2020, and it was pretty much the only viable full EV in North America due to the charge network. A lot of people got them with good intentions for the environment.

      Most people take out loans to buy new cars. When you sell or scrap a car the loan doesn’t go away. If you have 30k left on a loan, scrap the car for 10k - you’ll be left with a 20k loan and no car.

      Regardless of a car’s financial worth, having a functional car is worth a lot more.

      What your asking people to do is about as financially crazy as if someone told you to sell your car for $500, spend a thousand into maintance, and then go to buy a new one the leftover cash. In other words - blow your a sizable chunk of your own money because the owner of the car is a shit person. Who does that help? Musk already got his money, reselling the car does jack shit to him and completely fucks over the seller.

          And I say fuck that way of thinking.

          It was largely the democratic side of people that pushed for green energy and to stop polluting with gas cars. People listened, found Teslas were a great EV option and now the same people are telling Tesla owners they are Nazis for owning one.

          It’s getting stabbed in the back by the people you supported because some rich guy is a piece of shit.

          And truthfully I don’t own a Tesla, its my trans sister that has to deal with harassment and people telling her “they can’t accept her as a woman because she’s own a Tesla”. Fuck them and their exclusive “inclusivity” club.

            they can’t accept her as a woman because she’s own a Tesla

            That’s fucked up. Being anti-Trans is far more unacceptable than being pro-Tesla.

            I think an incorrect presumption made is that Tesla owners are always well off enough to replace them with sufficient motivation, rather than having seen it as an investment.
