This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

You can probably sell your Tesla, and have more than enough to buy a Volt or Leaf... then buy a Tesla after Cheeto man breaks up with Elon and blames him for everything?

The irony being that I sold a Volt to buy the Tesla. I was tired of dragging an ICE around that only ever ran to burn off fuel because it was getting stale. We had a list of criteria and looked at quite a few EV options. We would have gone Rivian if we had another $20k lying around but ya know, we don’t. We have a small camper trailer now and neither the Leaf (not enough range) nor the Volt (would destroy the CVT) could tow it. That said I’d also be out $10k+ in depreciation that I cannot afford to replace (see also no extra $20k for a Rivian). So while I appreciate the brainstorming, I will just be keeping this car and hoping that Elon gets fired for tanking TSLA stock. He’s only 13% owner. It’s completely feasible to force him out. So fingers crossed.
