Tesla is already one of the most expensive automotive brands to insure.
Insurers warn that rates could soon go up as activists are vandalizing Teslas over CEO Elon Musk's political meddling.
Owners have no recourse short of selling their cars.

I keep seeing posts about "selling your Tesla" but for someone to sell it, someone else has to buy it, so how does that fix anything exactly?

Not buying new Teslas keeps demand lower.

A dealership would buy it. I see it as a race to get rid of a rapidly depreciating asset.

People are fucking pissed at elon and don't want to support him More and more issues are found with the newer vehicles

The resale value is going to continue to drop, so people really should drop it before you're paying rue dealership to take it back

All in all, we've known for a long time Soon is a shit bag. So no sympathies for those with the on fire assets debating to drive the Nazi mobiles or eat the sunken costs (easy decision IMO)
