She should sell it, it's important to make people who may have been "a-political" before aware of what's going on.

I’m not sure I follow the logic here. Let’s say a person owns a Tesla outright, and purchased it ignorant to Elon’s behavior (esp if prior to the last year or two). How does selling it benefit some cause? Tesla already has that person’s money. It’s purely a performative action?

Car companies care deeply about resale value, since that directly impacts new car value.

[hexator]

Teslas require constant maintenance (like all cars, plus the recalls) and many have a subscription, it's not performative. Each Tesla owner is an asset to them post-sale.

Destroying the market for used Teslas and the brand harms Elon Musk's personal wealth which he uses to achieve his personal political goals. Now you may or may not agree with that as a method, but the logic is straightforward.

It's not reasonable to expect someone to sell their primary mode of transportation, likely at a loss, for reasons out of their control.

[AlecSchueler]

But we have to suffer for their inaction. They have some small power to fight against it and are choosing not to. It's reasonable to watch people suffer or die but not to sell your car?

People are usually upside down on vehicle purchases for at least half of their finance period.

I know I am.. there's no selling my Tesla at this point. Not for a while, and probably not ever, the way things are going.

That said, I'm 100% for tanking TSLA stock down to $110 to make life very very miserable for Musk..

[Marsymars]

Why $110 specifically?

[genewitch]

Also sell toyota, nissan, folksvagen, Audi. Right? For the same reasons?

Glad I roll American coal!

ETA: i haven't driven a diesel in ~20 years, and it wasn't rolling coal. we have two japanese cars. If you can't detect the irony and self-deprecation in this comment, just move on.

What’s your advice to the person who’d buy it then? Sell it again?

[raisedbyninjas]

There's value in the parts and eventually there will be scrap value.
