Who would buy a Tesla now, especially a used one.
For the MAGA heads who still like Musk, a Tesla does not roll coal enough. For those who would buy an EV, Tesla is a burned brand.

This binary view is neat and tidy but wrong. There are a lot of enthusiasts for whom a Tesla is still a desirable car both for capabilities as well as status. I would not be surprised to see its sales keep dropping, but reports of its death are all gonna be premature.
As far as a used Tesla, once we agree that a market for Teslas still exists, then that's all dependent on the price.
I used to want a Tesla so bad. Now it just doesn’t seem right.
Now, every time I see a tesla, I assume it's a white supremacist driving it.
Same... In the early 2010's they seemed like a dream.
Today, if I got one for free I'd sell it. If I couldn't sell it, I'd set it on fire. I don't consort with Nazi's.
Want mine...? 😞
I don't know her, but good for her. NPR is a valuable resource, but we should also do better in demanding their reporting quality to improve. They've been doing a lot of sanewashing, too.
Sold my Tesla and don’t miss it at all. I can’t imagine still driving it now. Just wish I never purchased it in the first place but I honestly didn’t know what I was supporting at the time.
It is not about aligning yourself with anything, it is about doing the right thing for the right reasons for the benefit of our community and neighbors. Personally I wish she'd dismantle and sell it for scrap and donate those proceeds.
Never a good idea to partner with nazis over the long term.
I always liked her, now I know why.
She did a duet with Kid Rock. I am cautiously optimistic. Is she actually not a right winger anymore or is she just tired of cleaning rotten eggs off her car?
Kudos to Cheryl and I know several other Tesla that want to trade-in their cars because of Leon Hitler.
All I wanna do is sell that car I got a feelin' I'm not the only one.
She saved her self a lot of trouble from the crappy Tesla build quality.
I just want an electric car :( but the Tesla's are too expensive.
I might end up buying Chinese cars
domestically you can get a base 2025 chevy ev blazer for around $27k while the ev rebate lasts. 300+ mile range with decent fast charging. I was really looking forward to getting one in the next 2-3 years but then dondi mcshytegibbon got elected and is killing not just the ev tax credit but the grant money to build out a dc fast charging infrastructure too. I might have to look at the plugin hybrid market instead when I really want to go fully electric.
Domestically? But my country does not make cars :(
He should sue her, like he did when companies didn't want to advertise on twitter anymore.
