Everytime I see our local cyber truck I hope someone vandalizes it.
That would be good for the EV conversion market. Since they use a lot of Tesla motors and battery packs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I shamefully admit I almost pulled the trigger on a Tesla Model S Plaid back in 2021 or 2022. Flush with a shit ton of cash, but fortunately I was reading reports of production build quality issues, many recalls, and ultimately pulled back my deposit.
Looking back at it. The one decision I have no regrets on.
That's the part I never understood. Even if you weren't a Musk fan boy and before Musk showed his true colors, Telsa has always, ALWAYS been shit quality. I remember back in 2015, or so, there was a video of someone finally getting their Telsa and it had a massive crack running the length of the driver side A-pillar, yet they just ignored it.
If you were an EV early adopter, Tesla is the only brand that delivered the range.
So, they were the only game in town for a lot of buyers.
Not nearly as big a problem now. Tesla has real competition which is why sales are crashing.
The Roadsters were well-made. That was when production volumes were low and Musk hadn't bought the company yet.

Who will service those when Tesla goes out of business? Where will you get parts? Yeah, it's time to jump ship
There are already aftermarket batteries. The biggest problem would be autobody panels.
That said, while I hope Tesla stock continues to crash, not much chance of them going out of business.
You can still get aftermarket parts for Pontiac vehicles. Then again Pontiac didn't go around suing everyone who even thought about making aftermarket parts for their vehicles.
Pontiac was a part of GM, who standardized most parts across all their brands decades ago.
There's no parent company for Tesla.
I hope byd buys them for pennies on the dollar and they keep people employed
But most importantly I hope it's for pennies on the thousands of dollars
