Some people may have bought one over-extending themselves to do something environmentally more sustainable. Not all Tesla owners l, I bet, became owners comfortably.

Poor people 'overextending' themselves does not look like buying a Tesla. It looks using credit to pay rent on-time with credit. Let's not dickride for a group of wealthy (or at least upper middle class) bigots who don't want to make sacrifices for their bad decisions.
They aren’t poor people, but I know people who are teachers and nonprofit workers who took out auto loans and bought more car than they could afford pre-pandemic to buy Teslas specifically to get away from fossil fuel. Not rich but much closer to being homeless than being billionaires.
As much as I’m not a fan of the brand my brother bought one of the older models about a year or so ago. He is NOT rich by any means, they are just great with saving money. He also recently pulled all the Tesla decals off.
Just saying there’s folks out there like my brother too.
I don’t know about the US, but in Canada there are lots of regular middle class people who own Teslas. We also(until very recently) got $12,000 in government rebates for buying an electric car. They had to stop it because it was costing them too much.
That's fair. I'm from the USA and I hold Americans primarily responsible for the fuckery that is going down right now. So that's who I was specifically talking about. I feel for Canadians and I don't fault them for this. Especially since their govt. actually caring about sustainability.
Thank you. That is refreshing to hear! Canadians are being unfairly piled upon by some American accounts, even on here! It’s frustrating to say the least. I hope things improve for you guys soon.
I'll agree with this only if it's a permanent alteration. No half-hearted things that they plan on removing in the event that it's safe to be a Egg Mush supporter.
Right. And if you're upper middle class to rich and you overextended yourself then you have the resources to fix it. Having resources is literally the distinction between poor and not poor. You can make all the excuses for these people that you like though.
Oh, no, I hate Tesla drivers any time after he called that guy who saved those kids a pedophile.
But if we don't give those who fucked up a chance to get out of it, they'll hold their shitty belief no matter what, especially for financial hardship purposes.
