Germany needs the sales to help support a Europe army to help Ukraine!
But that is how life works, I suppose.
Pontiac Aztek is a nice one.😉
Did you go to PragerU to have such ahistorical knowledge? Next thing you'll say is that Elon throws "Roman salutes." Maybe you need to study this ideological timeline to understand history.

>$30K in depreciation
>$70K for a “comparable” replacement
(No, I’m not driving a Chevy Bolt across the AZ desert…)
(Assuming I had 100K) I’d prefer to give that to cancer research or kids in Africa
But you should not have to give up a car that works for you, bullying is wrong.
I have four stickers on my car but I don’t want to leave my garage
This is doing wonders for my agoraphobia
Not everyone is privileged enough to lose 10s of thousands of $ selling their (ridiculously depreciated) car
We should be coming together to fight evil, not going after each other!
Although why didn't she get a different EV? That's a bit weird.
If you’re a hardcore road-tripper dependent on charging along the way, and need the best ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) Tesla is (unfortunately) light years ahead of everyone else.
(*Except the Chinese… but that’s another issue)
People really ought to pay more attention if they don’t want to get bullied based on what they support financially.
Or do you really believe in fairytales like a man who wants you to think he's Tony Stark is going to save the world and has your best interests genuinely in mind, despite his fortune being based in his dad's apartheid emeralds and child slavery?
You turned a blind-eye because you preferred a cultural myth over researching during the period of easiest access of information in all of human history.
Do you not think about who makes the products you buy -- or do you believe you're above doing that, and that caring is below both you, and them?
We have been banging on the car door trying to tell you about *EVERYTHING* that is happening for twenty years now.
She chose to ignore it.
If she wasn't pressured socially, I'm guessing she'd still drive the nazi car.
Says more about her, honestly.
I'm willing to give a pass to tesla-owners (excluding cybertruck owners) generally because getting a new car is an expensive way to protest.
That said, this lady bought her Tesla RECENTLY. No pity left in my heart for anyone who bought a tesla recently.
Also if your still driving a TSLA you may be a Nazi. No fucks given.
Wont be pulling any punches.
It's best to Inform the person with the electric car first that their purchase supported a facist instead of assuming they already knew. Bullying only works if you know the person won't try to fight back, and that's usually a gamble.
I'm done educating
I'm done explaining
"Is that true?"
"Yes, here's some tweets of him engaging and boosting actual nazis"
All you have to do. If they say "wasn't aware" tell them to stop supporting Tesla from now on. If they get defensive then they're not worth it.
Take your nonsense elsewhere
Not my problem
A: Teslas are not the only electric vehicles that exist
B: We get electricity primarily by burning fossil fuels anyways
C: Teslas cost more than my student loans, so if you're rich enough to get one then just sell it anyways
Boycott dealerships to prevent new sales? Yes! Get your 401k to divest? Great!
Bully individuals who cut their CO2? Pointless.
No tissues, much less my thoughts and prayers for MAGA faithful
Mercedes has been making cars since Adolf was a glimmer in his father's eye.
EV in America is dead so long as the Republican Party is in power.
We'll need "help" as well.
And my guess is that Trump is going to "recruit" that help very quickly indeed.
Stop fucking with people that own Teslas and focus that energy on stopping Musk.
My friends all drive Teslas, I must make amends ♬
Janis Joplin died 3 days after recording the song on October 4, 1970 at age 27.
I was 13 back then.
Bullying what Gov't is doing, not good at all.
Most of the stock is owned by institutional investors - which means large funds, generally managed for things like 401ks.
People who own Tesla’s aren’t the problem. Try something more productive like call your representatives and demand they do their jobs.
Her rich ass can get another one
I did find it hilarious that they lost steam after vance's endorsements. European nazis don't like American nazis apparently.
Same goes for his Swaticar.
If anything, this is what republican assholes wanted: more random hate. Just stop it.
And at this point, yes, bullying people who still use his dogshit products is valid. Get them off the street, make his shit worth less. If you could afford those expensive ass cars, you can afford a new one.
Buying a company and turning it into your own platform of hate is bad, but it’s a very different thing to wholesale dismantle the government. Bad to next level evil.
Likewise not all Tesla owners are rich. Some have bought used vehicles for <$30k
You being a dick to people is part of why so many think leftists are snooty assholes. You're setting us up for more losses
And bullying Tesla owners also reduced the demand for new Teslas. It's possible that social consequences for owning a Tesla might not be severe enough to get someone to sell, but could stop someone from buying. Either way, it's good and fun to do
It's already paid off & saves me a ton on maintenance & fuel. I bought it for the long savings. would really be dumb for me to sell for little to no effect
They perform well, but they're dogshit to be in or look at. Most Americans can't drive for shit, so the performance is a waste.
The good news is that fictitious Karen burned to death in her car after having a nap with a lit cigarette.
No matter why you bought them, they now have a different symbology.
Even if you are a neo-Nazi, you won't like being a target.
This reads like you're ENCOURAGING bullying; please explain?
No excuses. He's been publicly horrible for a long time.
You can't support Musk, or any of his minions, in any capacity and be a good person, in any capacity.
If you can afford a new EV you buy a new EV.
Flooding the market with used Teslas (with old hardware that won’t support autonomous driving) unfortunately won’t help
People in these comments acting like she traded in a Tesla for a Panzer or some shit 😂
I have to have a cell phone to have my job. Not may ethical brands available.
I dont have to have a specific brand of car.
The subject of the bullying is largely irrelevant. It's the forced participation in a protest to target a stock price.
b/c we all know the insurance payout is less than the current value of a Tesla but I know 3 people (two young gay males) who bought a Tesla within the last 6 months when they knew Elon was a NAZI 🤷♂️ https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-stock-buyer-strike-musk-fc1fa76d?st=jmMUw3
Even for people who aren't following his twitter bs, "elon called a guy helping to save kids from a cave-in a pedo" made the news in 2018. The % of deserving only goes down so much as the model year goes back
shame tho. shame (:
If people with the income to take a 20k loss on a car and still get a Mercedes have to get bullied to keep Tesla stock in freefall. So be it.
Tesla stock is also artificially inflated, which typically makes it more susceptible to bad press.
None of this helps the poor. Just an attempt to punish the rich.
At this point I'm looking for any and all ways to keep the pressure up on that stock price dropping. Complacency means people "buy the dip" and the price recovers.
Bullying people who already own the cars, usually for environmental reasons, isn't affecting Tesla at all.
