I resemble this...sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don't think it's a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.
Yeah,like if tomorrow everyone found out the CEO of Ford was a pedo, I promise you the supply of used F150's wouldn't suddenly skyrocket.
I saw him drinking a bud light, down by the river!
No but to be fair the maim reason for that is that usually CEO distance themselves from the company to an extent. The fact you can't name Ford's CEO is indicative enough.
I mean Henry Ford was a known racist and antisemitist, the Ford family still has majority voting power over the company.
Jim Farley?
Hey paid for is paid for.
Not anymore.
Paid for is just the ability to use said thing for another month.
Fuck literally every gasoline car driver on the road more than you. I don't own and hope to never own a car and Elon Musk can suck a fat fucking chode but a Tesla is still more respectable than every fossil fuel guzzling, planet destroying gasoline vehicle of comparable price
Weird climate extremism. The problem is capitalism, not cars although I hate cars.
Solving the car problem might be easier than solving the capitalism problem.
why would you sign up to pay elon every time you want to charge your car? like bro cut your loss already theres a reason the dudes the richest person in the world
he's already fucking owners who need warranty/fixes
and the way he's dropping his MSRP the resale value are gonna be tanking cant wait when he decides he "needs" to charge more for electricity now that the price is so cheap and the resale is gonna tank even more
I think you forgot that the alternative is to support a different douche-ey billionaire and subscribe yourself to 5x more expensive climate killing big oil?
I'm guessing Tesla owners can and do charge at home. I have a Leaf, and I've only used public chargers a few times. Under 100k miles cost of repairs shouldn't be much of an issue.
I charge at home for $0.058/kWh. The company that provides it is also local and it does create local jobs.
Do you even know how EV charging works? Do you go to the Apple Store or Android store to charge your phone?
