Yep because it drops the resale price, the cheaper the used ones are the more it eats into their new sale margins. If you could get the resale price down to id say they $5000 range you’d probably see folks buying them with the express purpose of fucking with them, which may further damage their reputation since rather than it being a prestige car it’d be the “I wanted to labatomize and modify an electric vehicle” car.
Sure, but that only really works when you have something to offer that others don’t. Fact of the matter is Tesla is fucked one way or the other, the traditional car companies are making electric vehicles now, that means any market shrinkage Tesla faces is libel to be filled by their competitors. Combine that with the fact that the market has turned outright hostile and well ya have what we see now.
That’s not even getting into the fact that their stock is falling and the fact they have have to deal with the millstone around their neck called the cyber truck.
Flooding the market with used Teslas would hurt the business though, wouldn’t it?

No. Traditionally you just stockpile and artificially generate scarcity in the market until the demand rises again.

In theory i guess, it’s a bold strategy
