Who owns one of this guy's cars? How you feelin'?
This fucker has to be making it really tough to ignore his bullshit and divorce it from his companies, right?
Honestly, like shit. I've had it for a few years now. If I'd have the money to sell it and get something else, I would, but I don't have the money. Guess I'll need to 3D print a sign for the car.
I hope someone crashes into it, no-one is hurt, but the damage is so bad I have to get a new car.
You can buy a different car with the money you get from selling it, no? And I assume that will not exactly be a bad car either.
Not likely if they want something electric, there isn't much of a used market yet
Disagree completely. I had no trouble recently.
There is a perception that there is though.
Have money to sell it? I’m sorry I’m confused. Usually selling stuff makes you money! Not being sarcastic, actually confused
I think they mean not having enough money to fill the gap between what he receives from selling it and what is required to buy his desired alternative car.
(capitalism and this country of racist idiots displays anakin's stare.)
In the back of my head, I always wonder, what if he’s actually brilliant, and this is all just a ploy to get dumb racist rednecks off of ICE vehicles.
If that's his 5d chess plan then he's dumb as shit.
Rednecks do not want EVs. They want 70k trucks plus a lift kit and modified engines to enable rolling coal on any EV or hybrid they come across. They are on purpose going in the opposite direction out of spite.
*Also battery energy density isn't capable of hauling big loads for long distances
Elon is just a moron who failed upwards
I considered that too (the ploy, not the brilliant part) when he initially started changing his tone, but it didn't take long before I realized that was very unlikely. His response the diver that rescued those kids in the flooded cave really sealed it for me realize that he's just a man with too much money and not enough sense.
Here in California I've seen a number of "I bought this before I knew what he was like" bumper stickers.
