While I agree with the sentiment, if the face-value goal of this note becomes true, this has the same vibe as "Sell it to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?"
I promise you there's always going to be someone willing to buy one. You'll possibly just have to drop the price really low. I'd buy a used Tesla for a dollar, for example. If people suspect the price is dropping then hopefully they'll panic sell, and force the price to drop even faster.
That's the goal, though. If people start doing this, the value of used Teslas will crater. That will kill sales of new ones. Why buy a new one when you can get a used one dirt cheap? Why buy a new one if you know it will lose all of its value because the used market died?
Unfortunately downward price will come against up the tariff inflation of new trucks and cars (estimated 20%+ increase by dealers) that will happen if Trump unchanges his fucking mind one more time.
I still think annoying but not impossible the remove stickers are the solution. Do that enough times and anyone who hasn’t fallen into the sunk cost fallacy will either be looking to sell, or at least never buy another swasticar.
Still plenty of rubes that support trump. The backlash against tesla actually probably has whole swaths of them looking to buy one to own the libs.
I think that's a big stretch. The venn diagram of people that buy electric vehicles and those that support Trump barely intersect.
We’re talking gold medalists at mental gymnastics though. My right wing relatives are now retiring their own narratives. They used to say “drill baby drill, EVs are for libs.” now they are saying that Tesla is the only brand for a patriot because the company and factories are in America.
Ask them where all that lithium and aluminum in those teslas comes from.
I would have said the same about crypto a few months ago, but here we are with a presidential shitcoin grift being carried by millions of Trump supporters
I've always taken the WSB/Cryptobros Diamond Hands cartoon as a caricature of Trump. AFAIK, cryptobros have been infatuated with Trump since the beginning.
