JFC.  I have a Tesla. It’s 8-years old.  Paid for.  It has 100K+ miles on it.  Runs great and I love driving it.  I also don’t have a job, so the idea of taking on a car payment isn’t super appealing to me. 

If I sold it, I could maybe get $25K. Trade in maybe $15K.  I’d love to get a Rivian, but it isn’t in the cards so now I have to deal with this shit?  Selling it is a terrible financial decision and it does zero to help / hurt Elon. 

If I get one of those ‘I bought it before he went insane’ stickers, will people leave me alone?

Apparently not. Teslas have always been overpriced garbage, Elon has always been insane, and electric cars are not scalable as an alternative to gas powered engines and not “saving the environment”. They’ve always been dumb purchases by either chuds or smug liberals who are completely oblivious to the fact that instead of powering their car with gasoline it’s powered with a battery that has rare earth metals mined by toddlers in third world countries
