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?"
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?
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.
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.
It always warms my heart to see actionable lists.
Even pointless ones that don't result in fewer of the thing existing? Selling it just means passing off the note to the next person.
Yeah, but you’re selling it to somebody who would buy a Tesla in 2025.
The number of them out there is erroneous. It's what perceived value they have that matters.
And the value of used cars can drastically affect the value of new cars.
Anyone buying a Tesla now, knows what they're buying, and what it can imply. Those selling are often selling to avoid the implication that comes with owning a Tesla.
I keep seeing this talking point, and I can't tell if it's just bad faith propaganda, or if so many people really are this obtuse.
Where did anyone get the idea that selling a car because the head of the company is a Nazi is intended to reduce the number of extant cars? It's such a specifically stupid argument that I have a hard time believing more than one person came up with it on their own. It's like if you were debating coke vs pepsi, and suddenly there were hundreds of people chiming in, "Have you tried standing on your head and peeing into your own mouth?" It's neither intelligent nor relevant in any way. That's what you sound like. Having one person say it is weird, but seeing multiple comments makes you wonder if you're not just mindlessly repeating something somebody told you to say.
The meme is suggesting passing the thing along to the next person who will then be the target. Like selling a nazi uniform to someone else who will wear it instead, it wxchanged hands but is atill around.
It is an obvious possible first take, not some mysterious coordinated pooh poohing of a meme.

This both makes zero sense as a comparison and shows you lack reading comprehension skills.
I agree, you're making zero sense. Nazis didn't make money selling uniforms. Maybe Hugo Boss did, but that's not at all analogous to a car.
The point is not to destroy a uniform, the point is to stop driving a Nazi car. If someone wants a Nazi car, they can either buy a new one or buy a used one. If there are more used Nazi cars available, then this drives the price down, reduces the aura of scarcity, and reduces the number of new Nazi cars sold, and thus reduces the amount of money going into Nazi pockets.
It's never about making them not exist. It's about destroying the value of the car, so fewer new ones are sold. If the used market is full of like-new versions for significantly lower prices, the number the company can sell will drop dramatically.
Musk's wealth is largely in stocks. If we can make the value of his companies drop them we directly hurt his wealth. The cars don't matter. The value of the company matters.
I get the sentiment and am on board 100% that Elon Musk is a fucking loser Nazi -- but what a condescending note. Whoever wrote this note needs to mind their own business, and maybe take a week away from the internet.
Whoever wrote this wants the value of tesla to crash...
Awesome, I love the approach. 👍🏾
It lowers the value. If plenty of fairly new Teslas can be found fairly cheap, it will disincentivize people who do want a Tesla from buying new. Hopefully takes the stock price down, which is what most of Pres. Musk's wealth is based on.
i mean. wouldnt rebadging it and putting a "fuck elon" bumper sticker be more of a message than selling it to another sucker?
(also ripping out the spyware laden computer system that reports all activity INCLUDING CAMERAS back to hitlerHQ and can remotely disable your car)
On your second point: unfortunately that’s the system that makes the car go
Unfortunately, it would send a message to folks who do things like storm government buildings and kill cops. I wouldn't want one of those deranged lunatics coming after me.
If they tank in price I wonder how practical it would be to swap a normal truck body onto one. Wouldn’t mind a cheap EV truck.
Polestar is Chinese, since Volvo is Chinese.

Were sorry you didn't sign up for doing any research into your piece of shit car or the idiot asshole that owns it
They were never cool
A place to post your Cybertruck fails! We're here to make fun of this hunk of shit and throw as much shade as we can to that garbage bag of a human elon.
No doxxing No slurs No racism And no fucking nazis!
