Most people who own these crappy cars can't even really afford them. Now they are in big trouble because they can't get rid of them. Lol.

What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?

[-] juergen@feddit.org 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

hard to estimate, but probably not. I think what makes such companies go down is when the investors fear their money might be lost. that is, when the company is not worth much compared to their invested money.

So only, when the user count is dropping, that would be the case for paypal.

[-] zyberteq@lemm.ee 16 points 4 hours ago

That would be good for the EV conversion market. Since they use a lot of Tesla motors and battery packs.

If I had one I'd keep it, vandalise it myself and turn it into an anti-musk advertising vehicle. It's a bad idea to waste the resources that went into making them.

[-] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

But selling a used one to someone that wants an affordable EV will potentially turn someone from buying one brand new, and therefore keeping profits out of Little Musky's pockets.

[-] NotLemming@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

Sell a vandalised one then. At least you know it won't be going to a maga.

I'd just park it in portland overnight and file an insurance claim the next morning.

When you want a job done right, don't leave it to amateurs, go to stealmytesla.com.

[-] lonerangers1@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

satire? that shit is funny as hell.

[-] cortex7979@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

If I were to drive one, I would never let such circumstances push me to sell.

[-] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

No sympathy.

While it's nice to protest outside of the Tesla dealership, people should be protesting outside of US embassies, and while they are at it, protest outside of the Chinese and Russian embassies too. Block them in.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 6 hours ago

People are doing. But embassies tend to be in capital cities but Tesla dealerships are everywhere.

[-] Hejej@lemmy.ml 13 points 13 hours ago

I know this the unpopular opinion at the moment, but what electric sedan is better than a model 3? The rest of the producers have all decided we want to drive crossovers or boxes and simply cannot figure out how to make a frunk.

[-] ziggurat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

The first few times sitting in or driving a tesla was cool and novel. But after you have used the fart simulator app a few times, and let your sister in law post a few pictures. It's just a car that takes a lot of space in small parking spots.

It is low quality, breaks often, expensive to repair, barely fits parking spots, expensive to buy, has paid for addons that have been coming soon the last 10 years

There is a lot of other electric vehicles I'd rather have

Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

Lots of choice in Europe

[-] Sovereign@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago

Hell yeah, I’ve been wanting a model 3 for years. Glad politics will bring that dream to a reality 😀 lets go electric vehicles!!! One less gas guzzler on the road.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 29 points 20 hours ago

Who will service those when Tesla goes out of business? Where will you get parts? Yeah, it's time to jump ship

[-] Ferroto@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

You can still get aftermarket parts for Pontiac vehicles. Then again Pontiac didn't go around suing everyone who even thought about making aftermarket parts for their vehicles.

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 hours ago

I hope byd buys them for pennies on the dollar and they keep people employed

But most importantly I hope it's for pennies on the thousands of dollars

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 14 hours ago

what you expect from temupanzers

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 14 hours ago

I hope they lose money because they bought a 1939 Volkswagan with an electric motor on it, and then claimed

Well how was I meant to know the man who lives on the internet 24/7 and can't shut up about his opinions of women, non-whites, fascism, lgbt, and lies like he needs his pants to be warm for the winter, was somehow a bad guy? I bought a cool sticker, so I'm absolved of giving him any money :^)

These people bought them because they thought he was a real life Tony Stark, especially the early models and Cybertrucks. I consider everyone driving in one a useful idiot for Trump and Musk.

[-] malloc@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago

I shamefully admit I almost pulled the trigger on a Tesla Model S Plaid back in 2021 or 2022. Flush with a shit ton of cash, but fortunately I was reading reports of production build quality issues, many recalls, and ultimately pulled back my deposit.

Looking back at it. The one decision I have no regrets on.
