If I owned a Tesla right now, I’d be in a bad situation. I sure as hell no longer want to be seen in one. The market for them has crashed, and nobody wants to buy one used. If I could afford a Tesla, I’d surely have insurance… I’d be rooting for somebody to set that shit on fire

    I’ve actually been checking if the prices for used Tesla’s have gone down enough. I’ve been itching for an EV for years. But other EVs are actually cheaper.

    Saw some Peugeot 2008 for good prices.

      As much as people like to shit on them due to the connection to Musk, they can be good cars with some caveats.

      1. The electronic door handles are bullshit and dangerous.
      2. The touch console is not as good as physical climate controls. Everything else commonly used can be done through the steering wheel controls for the most part.
      3. Service centers have really poor service, but since they’re EVs you shouldn’t need to do it often. (Unless it’s a Cybertruck lol).

      Buying used is great because you don’t send that money to Musk. In fact the updates and support technically cost them over time.
