    I didn’t think they were defending it. The reality is some people live in a bubble and don’t pay close attention to the media, and switching cars is not exactly an easy thing to do without getting fucked over.

    Many people are upside down on their car note, and when you trade in with negative equity on a car loan, that negative equity gets added to the new loan balance. It’s kind of a big deal for the average person.

        Many bought the thing 5+ years ago when Tesla was basically the only electric with a real charging network…

        Until relatively recently, if you were an American who wanted to buy an electric car and wanted to guarantee you wouldn’t be stranded somewhere with a dead battery, Tesla was literally the only option.

            K live in your fantasy bubble and revise history all you want, not even a decade ago Teslas were considered very good cars, and the only viable electric option for some. Not hard to figure out why people bought them then, just like it’s not hard to figure out why people are selling them now.

                Dude, relax, you’re fighting with people that agree with you that Elon is a Nazi piece of shit. If a bunch of people that agree with you, more or less, are downvoting you and saying that your anger on this one is misplaced, maybe it’s time to look inward.

                Let people realize they made a mistake, jeez. That’s all this is. People made an uninformed decision, and are now realizing their mistake. You never made a mistake before? Jfc

        I had Tesla sales reps at my WeWork office one week back in like 2019 iirc. They had a very aggressive sales campaign for a while at least. One even offered to have me test drive a Model 3 right their in the parking garage, which I declined.

        So yes, they were making it very easy. Have you ever had car salesman show up at your office?
