Is it in any way possible that A: it was purchased used from a private seller, and/or 2: it was purchased prior to, whichever event you personally consider the start of his departure from reality. It’s easy to forget now, considering [gestures vaguely at a cloud of toxic fumes emanating from the smoldering husk of a once democratic nation], but there was a time not so very long ago when Musk was considered a liberal and eco-friendly darling.
fElon’s always been a horrid aparthied piece of shit. There are ZERO teslas on the road that their dtivers can be guilt free of. Stop supporting nazis.
Henry Ford is an American icon who was also a Nazi sympathizer with rabid anti-Semitic views. Under his leadership, Ford Motor Corporation became the engine of the American economy and one of the nation’s most iconic brands. Likewise, history books celebrate its founder Henry Ford as one of the nation’s greatest industrialists.
I remember when Elon was hailed as an IRL Tony Stark. I remember my envy of Tesla drivers.
Elon’s probably always been a PoS, I mean it likely didn’t happen overnight like a reverse christmas carol, but he did a good job of keeping it concealed.
How does buying a used vehicle from a third party seller support the manufacturer? I have a Ford Mach E that I got from a Toyota dealer’s used lot, and Ford never saw a dime of that transaction.
Last I checked Tesla made some features, like FSD, non-transferrable. Unless that’s changed, a new owner has to pay Tesla to reactivate any services like that.
Not directly, no- but resale value comes into play with pricing. People will be a lot less willing to buy a new vehicle if they will take a massive loss selling it later.

Just leaving this here.
Yup. Just wait until they find out about Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, IBM, Disney…
Henry Ford is dead

Don’t worry, FSD will veer them into oncoming traffic eventually.
FSD stays with the car unless you sell to Tesla. They do run promos of FSD transfer if you trade in and buy new car.
You could also go to the website and buy a Tesla branded shirt if you wanted, but you don’t HAVE to.

That is NOT the primary driving force behind Tesla’s marketing issues right now…
Agreed.
That was a minor consideration when I bought my Prius. Minor, but it did come up as a factor.
Joke’s on me, this car is almost old enough to drive itself and still doing strong. I didn’t foresee selling it ever 💜
Nice. How the battery health doing?
It seems fine. I feel like I’ve replaced the hybrid battery once, but I wouldn’t swear to it. I’ve replaced the starter battery a couple times.
