Probably the dumbest decision a car buyer made
Was to rush to buy a Tesla before the tax credits expired (Sept. 30th), now you have a worthless, ****ing vehicle that's basically a subscription and subject to the whims of a ****ing looney tune from South Africa.
And if you want a derivative beyond the ****ing looney tune there's always the ****ing child rapist.

You are such a bitter POS.

WOW. Racist much? :o

I would not buy an EV of any brand, and good riddance to that government subsidy of EVs. That said,AvSchmoe's post is unsurprisingly stupid. Tesla owners own their cars and can sell or trade them in as used cars, just like any gas- or diesel-powered car.

If DU had any credibility and influence, :rotf: , this would be an invitation to a slander or libel lawsuit, which DU would lose.

Hey DUchebag DUmbass aviation POS? Musk's net worth just topped $500 billion.
Also if I were to ever buy an EV, spoiler alert I am, it would be a Tesla because it ha million of times more road miles that all other brands. It is at the top of it game compared to any other EV.

So now they hate "green" vehicles?

There probably are many fawning pre-Twitter-purchase posts praising Teslas.

Not only that, they hate migrants who actually produce and create jobs. They like their migrants to be cutting grass and making beds.

A bit more accurately:
Not only that, they hate legal migrants who actually produce and create jobs. They like illegal migrants to be cutting grass and making beds.

Meh, this DUchebag is just pissed off that he can't afford a Tesla and is jealous of those who can.

He wouldn't buy a Tesla because Musk is now evil. But with Rivian, Polestar, and Lucid "out there" he probably can't afford to buy whichever of those that are not in bankruptcy.

They wont say it, but they hate all the cameras on tesla autos as well.
It makes it harder to vandalize them without being held accountable...and we know how much dems and modern leftists love to be held accountable for anything.

There is another major expense in owning an EV. Many owners of EVs seem to have back-up gas powered cars. For trips that go beyond repetitive commuting, with mapped out charging locations, EVs still lack the infrastructure needed for long trips unless careful strategies are implemented for charging. Maybe they're great for known commuting. But at the moment they complicate longer trips. I read an article about a buyer who rented a gas powered car to pick up his new Rivian several states away. His return trip added several hundred extra miles and an an extra overnight stay to get back home because his return trip involved an indirect route to insure charging stations were available within the Rivian's range.
We've all seen wrecks where the a vehicle took a hard hit in the side. The the batteries on some models go from rocker to rocker in width and the length reaches from the front of the front door to the rear of the rear door. The vehicle is basically built above the batteries. What happens when one gets hit hard in the side? I'm not aware of any safety standards (as exist for gas tanks). There has to be a fire/explosion, not to mention fatal level amperage risk involved. But, i haven't seen it discussed. But, I haven't done deep dives on it either. So it's something a person should research prior to purchase.
Also, the resale is typically less due to battery life concerns. A battery replacement can approach doubling the price on some used models. The extra price of EV tires have to be considered too. Repairs can result in extended down-time due to many shops are not trained for them. And, the expensive specialized equipment and training required will take years to reach a break-even point ( if ever). Not to mention parts availability.
Hybrid gas/electrics make sense. They cost more but have proven long-term track records. But, that's a different discussion.
