Who would buy a Tesla now, especially a used one.
For the MAGA heads who still like Musk, a Tesla does not roll coal enough. For those who would buy an EV, Tesla is a burned brand.
If it was within my budget I would buy a used Tesla. They're pretty decent cars. The idea that your car should communicate your values or identity is Bourgeois ideology that I fully reject.
When you look at the number of recalls they are doing, I wonder where your "pretty decent" rating comes from.

Are they decent? They have a high failure rate and as a used vehicle you're likely going to need to drop 20k to replace the dying battery.
I don't know, that might be true. Certainly at some price it becomes a good deal.

I used to want a Tesla so bad. Now it just doesn’t seem right.
Now, every time I see a tesla, I assume it's a white supremacist driving it.

Same... In the early 2010's they seemed like a dream.
Today, if I got one for free I'd sell it. If I couldn't sell it, I'd set it on fire. I don't consort with Nazi's.

The other car companies have pretty much caught up now anyway
They haven’t. In the USA. Unless you call the ICCU fiasco catching up, or the lame Mach-E charging curve. Not a Tesla fanboy but in the US if you live in the suburbs and have a long commute, and buy used, Tesla is really the only used option with any inventory that meets this use case.
The hacking scene just doesn't feel mature enough yet for it to outweigh the virtues it sends.
Want mine...? 😞

Sold my Tesla and don’t miss it at all. I can’t imagine still driving it now. Just wish I never purchased it in the first place but I honestly didn’t know what I was supporting at the time.

It is not about aligning yourself with anything, it is about doing the right thing for the right reasons for the benefit of our community and neighbors. Personally I wish she'd dismantle and sell it for scrap and donate those proceeds.
Never a good idea to partner with nazis over the long term.
She did a duet with Kid Rock. I am cautiously optimistic. Is she actually not a right winger anymore or is she just tired of cleaning rotten eggs off her car?

She saved her self a lot of trouble from the crappy Tesla build quality.
Kudos to Cheryl and I know several other Tesla that want to trade-in their cars because of Leon Hitler.

All I wanna do is sell that car I got a feelin' I'm not the only one.
He should sue her, like he did when companies didn't want to advertise on twitter anymore.
Shouldn't have bought it in the first place And NPR? LOL
