You probably shouldn't have started with: as an owner of a 2021 Tesla Model 3
This all just looks like little more than self interest dressed up as a humane outtake
You knew Musk owned Telsa and was a right wing nazi and bought it anyway
We bought the car to save money on gas due to regular work trips since my wife’s car also had a good trade in value. It was and remains largely a financial and pragmatic decision. The car was purchased in 2022 and the political situation was different from now.
If we were in the same situation last year or this year, we likely wouldn’t have purchased a Tesla as other solid options are now available. We get a lot of utility out of the car and it is now paid off. Again, back to finances and pragmatism, not ideology. If current issues lead to insurance rates going up to an unacceptable amount, we will strongly consider selling the Tesla and acquiring another EV.
Peace.
