    What do you want to have happen? The car exists and is in an owner’s hands already. Elon doesn’t make any more money no matter if they sell it or not. It’s environmental waste to simply scrap it. What are the options, here?

      If they use the Supercharger network, or get the vehicle serviced by Tesla, then they’re making money still.

      But, the right thing to do is to keep running the vehicle, you’re right about that.

        At least some Teslas use the Supercharger network for free, so they’re a drain on the company at this point. But I think they canned that program a while back for new sales.

        Personally, if I picked one up (and I probably wouldn’t unless it was even cheaper than they are now), I’d spray paint it in gaudy pansexual pride flag colors.

      Elon doesn’t make any more money no matter if they sell it or not.

      Elon has the large part of his fortune tied to the future of Telsa, which is 90% selling cars. If no-one buys those cars, and if the second hand market is seen to be almost worthless, then the fortune and Elon’s power disappears.

      I dont give af what happens. Defending people buying a car made by a Nazi madman is simply pathetic.
