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.
Switching cars isnt easy but buying an expensive one made by a madman is?
You mean the car they have been paying down on? That’s less expensive
Buying a Tesla made by a Nazi is one of the most expensive and dumbest things you could ever do.
When did you find out Elon is a Nazi?
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?
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.
I had all of those things and didnt buy one as many others. Crazy that when you buy a car from a nazi lunatic things dont work out
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.
Considered by fucking who? lmao jesus christ, it's also not hard to figure out Elon has been a Nazi for a long while
Your weird attempts at gaslighting aren't working dude
Your weird attempt at labeling gaslighting sure as hell didn't work dude.
Even if you werent a Musk fanboy, Tesla cars have literally always been shit quality, this is well known. I remember videos from 2015 from brand new Teslas with massive cracks going down the length of the car.
But yeah Im gaslighting! Hahaha not the fucking Nazi madman scamming you all, what a joke.
Additionally, Tesla has and ALWAYS has been extremely anti-consumer and anti-repair, they do not give a fuck about you.
Nah what you're doing is textbook gaslighting. Not to mention, putting words in my mouth. You wanna have a level headed conversation, I'm down, but if you're gonna continue to let emotion take over, I'm out.
