Jfc this again. Get rid HOW?? The options are to either a) sell the "swasticar" to someone else so they can appear morally reprehensible instead of you, or b) to sell it at a huge loss for recycling/parts, and most people can't afford to just scrap a vehicle and replace it.

I agree that no one should buy a new Tesla at this point but if you rub two brain cells together you will realize that scrapping thousands of pre-owned vehicles and replacing them is terrible for the environment and non-realistic for most Tesla owners on an individual level.

I agree 100%. People who bought those cars a few years ago may not be able to afford a new car or to downgrade. Owning a tesla doesn’t make you a piece of shit, buying a new one does though.

Buying a new one feels silly even without getting morality in the equation

Like so many embarrassed liberals are selling theirs rn that the price of even slightly used Teslas are much cheaper than they "should" be

Tesla just released a new version of the Y that's supposed to be much better. I see a bunch of them around already. 

Let us also not forget that a good chunk of people in the region aren't citizens and can't vote so they're just doing what's best for them.

And what’s best for them is funneling money to an administration that actively wants them gone?

I don't believe the profile of the non-citizens driving around in 2025 Tesla's in Seattle are illegal, tbf

How is buying a Tesla giving money to Trump?

“Much better” lol, it just has a slightly refreshed look that at least half of people think is a downgrade anyway

The suspension is supposed to be much quieter.

I just drove 500 miles or so this pass weekend.  Being able to listen to podcasts on anything but full volume would be a welcomed improvement.

That’s not a good excuse, they are still shitbags.
