lol why is it only 3? Are the rest Nazis?
This might require an update
The man’s just done a Nazi salute. Even if you can’t afford to go through the new car process, can you afford not to?
Assuming that they can sell their cars, doesn't that mean that there is an equal amount of buyers considering buying a Tesla?
buying a tesla in the last couple years is like automotive market darwinism
Bought mine in 2021. I knew the man was an idiot then, wasn't really expecting the whole fascist playbook at the time. Anyway, want a Tesla?
For free? No thanks.
Gotta start selling "Bought this before it was fascism"-stickers.
Sounds like an influx of cheap second hand BEVs.
The enlightened never bought one after test driving and hearing rattles in a car with 20 miles.
The build quality is absolute dogshit.
Yup. I wish I could overlook it like most people, but when a car makes noise fresh off the line then it really pisses me off.
Some of us were smart enough to not be making enough to make such a stupid decision.
The proper way to live when it comes to cars
I would sell my car the moment I get a proper offer. But no one wants to buy a Tesla here anymore.
So, keep driving the Model Y. But there is zero chance that we will ever buy a Tesla again. At least as long as Musk is able to profit from it.
You aren't willing to sacrifice enough to get rid of something you hate. Let that sink in and then ask yourself why. Might reveal something to you
(I just think it's interesting, I'm not leading you to something specific)
I'm in a similar position, having a 2019 M3 bought back in the days of blissful ignorance of who Musk even was pretty much.
I'm not wealthy in any way, I spent very hard earned cash for a green(er) car due to extensive travel requirements at work. I can not just sell the car for pennies and get a new electric car.
So for me, I have pretty much no reasonable alternative other than to ride it out, use non-tesla-chargers, and get a new non-tesla car in a couple of years when hopefully the price of electric cars have declined.
So please don't judge those of us who are in this shitty position too hard. I'm not in any way looking for some kind of pity (god knows even affording the car in the first place makes me very privileged), but for some understanding and to make it known that plenty of us "old Tesla car"- drivers do not affiliate in any way with Musk's views and opinions.
You misunderstand me if it seemed like i was judging.
Is a shitty situation, like cancer is. You just can't rid of a cancer sometimes even if it's the only thing you want to be able to do
Ah, then I seen, thanks for the clarification! (I blame not being a native English speaker)
Yeah it's a crappy situation where keeping the damn thing actually seems like the least shitty thing to do for now. At least I've managed to convince others to buy alternatives like the Hyundai Ioniq series instead when they've asked me for my opinion!
Take comfort if as i assume you didn't get the car to support mush but because on paper it accomplished a goal and that's why you bought the thing. It's still doing exactly what you bought it for. The only thing that is changed is a persononality that's isn't actually connected(I'm assuming) to your reasons.
Toyota has bloodcon it's hands, as does most of them. VW is a company that literally supported hitler and contributed the horror of people being put into nazi death camps.
Musk is a fuckwad, but hes not worse than some others that came before him.
I bought a VW almost 20 years ago, it was cheap and for my needs at the time it was what made sense.
Your choice still is making the world better than it otherwise would have been. You won't ever buy another one(so many assumptions in making lol )
Its not your fault. Talk to any engineer about the need to make tradeoffs, you didnt know and made the best decision you could. I hate that it affects you like this, is just the sad state of 2025
If i could i would buy your car. I need a new one but life went sideways on me personally and the world went sideways on everyone so I'm in a bad position. I'm fortunate to be able to just stick with my shit car still

I've been perfectly happy with my Tesla, if you just look at the car. When i first got it for years ago, it was a real source of joy to me. Now all the joy has been sucked out of it by Musk's assholery. I want to get rid of it sooner rather than later. Right now there isn't really anything in the market that could replace it, but as soon as there is, I'll jump.
Exactly this. I'm not going to sell my model 3 - I already paid for it, and I do like it - but I'll certainly be looking elsewhere when I need to replace it if Musk is still associated with Tesla.
With other manufacturers adopting NACS, the biggest advantage of owning a Tesla has vanished.
Take a look at Hyundai. They have a similar range and comfort packages, and even use the Tesla chargers now.
It's probably what my car will be.
I have some hopes for the Kia EV4, but that's not out yet.
Reality is, tesla is the best EV out there.
I'm not looking to sell and if this crashes and burns, I'll get another one.
I'm not stopping to eat nestle cereal either. They're the only brand that does gluten free honey cornflakes. Pick your battles, musk will musk no matter if we all boycott Tesla regardless. Fucker got more money than all gods combined.
This is a lot of words for "I don't have any spine and won't change my behavior if it is mildly inconvenient"
Sure, good luck on your crusade. This surely rallied me to your banner!
If you weren't willing to give up a bowl of cereal in the morning you weren't going to do shit anyway, nice try.
Fuck me for enjoying some life comforts then? What are you giving up?
Once you show me a non capitalistic world, then we can talk.
Sometimes self centered dipshits need to be called out. Your actions, and the actions of people reading this, matter.
Nobody wants your help anyway, with an attitude like that.

I, personally, will never buy a Tesla. I would consider buying an EV, but never a Tesla.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
