For many of us, it wasn’t about the tariffs. It was about the threat to our sovereignty.

Fair point.

🎯💯 Absolutely. You can say that probably other countries (EU) didn't need to retaliate with tariff. The retaliation is taking place via avoidance of purchase US made products. It's being double aggravation: Vance loathing of Europe and now Trump's tariffs.
The repercussions are a big deal worldwide

And, unlike tariffs, consumer practices cannot change with the stroke of a pen. You’ll be seeing flipped items for a long time yet.

I'm waiting for the flipped Teslas.

You'd need a forklift to flip those fuckers.

Not saying its a problem. Just that it's going to require more effort than your standard car-flipping.

I've seen pictures of vandalized ones. None flipped, so far

I actually did see a picture of a CT upside-down on Reddit yesterday. Not sure what happened, but somebody had a bad time, for sure.

Plus, it's hard to flip a vehicle when its at the shop for recalls. Leon always 1 step ahead, lol.
