No. I have a 2021 model 3 that I bought in 2022. If I sold it, it'd be at a loss since I still have a loan for it. Back then it was still the car to get for the money.
Again, no. I would not buy one now. Fuck no.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

No.
But to be clear, somewhere over the last 20 years it seems I've also fallen out of the middle class? I bought a new car fresh out of college, and then again about 10 years later. But I look at the price of new cars today, and they're simply not a purchase I can afford. So, it looks like I'm not going to be buying any new cars anymore, Tesla or otherwise. That feels weird.
Not even with Musk's money. No wait, that's not true, I'd have someone paint Musk's face on a dummy, put it in the driver's seat, and autopilot that shit into a landfill somewhere with as many cameras filming it as I could get on short notice.
Haha, I like your style.
I'd buy one if Musk was ousted. Despite what the internet would have you believe, they're pretty decent cars and there's still not really a lot of competition if you look at it dollar for dollar. But as long as Musk had any say in the company I absolutely wouldn't buy one.

I'll buy it's battery after scrappers rip the car apart.
Fuck no.
No, the big question is how much would you pay for a Tesla? I'd buy one for $20.
I already decided against them when I bought a vehicle in 2022 because he was being a dickbag trying to back out of his deal to buy twitter.
I bought one in 2021. Cancelled my plans to upgrade.
The Big Answer: Hell no!
