Wild accusation considering unlike Shapiro nothing I said was wrong and I was asking a sincere question in pursuit of an answer.

I’ve only ever traded in a vehicle I’ve fully paid off and the money that would have been handed to me for that trade goes towards the down payment of the new vehicle.

Assuming the vehicle was bought prior to people being aware Musk was Trump aligned (about when he bought Twitter), most vehicles would be mostly paid off if not fully.

I have to reiterate though that if someone can’t afford a vehicle due to a change in circumstances, trading it in for a cheaper vehicle is a pretty common sense decision. You aren’t paying off a vehicle that’s no longer in your possession.

Never help Trumpers. Empathy is for soyboy snowflakes after all.

My brother their stock only recently started dropping due to hard boycots and vandalism, they’ve had value for years. This was not recent. What dealership refused a Tesla trade in?

Exceptions to every rule. Why haven’t you, since learning this, attempted to trade it in? I understand not being able to get an entirely new car from zero but Tesla has kept it’s value until very recently. Why hold it?

Where’s the assumption? If you buy a luxury brand, you’re not struggling. Buying one of the first EVs is not a “I’m broke” decision the same as buying luxury shoes. Your position is that in the last five or so years someone could have zero ability to trade in their brand new Tesla? Use common sense, I implore you. Obviously there are outliers but no, most people had the chance.

You argue like a Republican, with bad faith “some people might not fit your generalization!” nonsense. Support of fascism should be met with escalating resistance. We’ve had years to discuss it, yet here we are.

Really? Tesla seems to be pretty undesirable right now being targets for vandalism. Vandalism inspired by a majority shareholder practicing facism openly. Congress is doing nothing, it’s majority Republican, they will take no action against Trump. It’s a complete waste of time.

Again, if you still have a Tesla now, you are not center left. Everyone’s had the chance to trade it in prior to the stocks diving, right now it’s a conscious choice. It’s not “some poor, random citizen” it’s a Musk supporter. Full stop.

Furthermore, he’s Trump’s boyfriend, even got him to do a Tesla commercial on the Whitehouse lawn. Electric cars are for the right too now!

A few? These are the people that did backflips because the left handed out water bottles to voters in line. Put them under the cell, I’m exhausted over the blatant hypocrisy.

God no, we failed at saving Democracy. Republicans are shoving their fingers into every dark and dirty spot America has, violating everything and barely lying to try and cover it. What’s happening now is a desperate attempt to do something to not feel so god damn helpless. There is no legal road anymore. There is only one way to wrestle back control from a lawless executive branch and the founding fathers made it clear they intended it to be the end of a musket.

This is a boring take. Everyone to the center left has tried extensively to talk through why what’s happening is bad, wrong, awful, stupid, in all the best faith ways there is to literally deaf ears. Every word is intentionally misunderstood and weaponized for further propaganda. Speech has been watered down by a torrent of others saying nothing and nonsense.

Tesla has been steadily declining with every action Elon takes. Trade-ins exist, they’ve been viable for years. If they’ve had them for awhile, they bought them when they were considered cutting edge. Who is buying bleeding edge tech while being financially unable to trade it in for something else from then to now?

Talking has produced nothing, warranting action. Elon has been steadily descending into madness for all to see, it’s no secret and it wasn’t fast. Those who still have them and those that buy them even now do so willingly. Ignorance at this stage is not an excuse. These people aren’t vulnerable any more than someone who buys a pair of Yeezy shoes. “What if they can’t afford another pair??” Brother stop.
