No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.
Hard to sell them when the only potential buyer market is people you want to avoid at all cost or a used car place that will buy it for an insulting fraction of it’s value.
And buying a replacement in this economy?
We can judge new buyers all day long, we can judge people with 200k salaries that keep them, but there’s lot of folks are stuck with a car that no one will buy; and maybe their situation isn’t so great either.mmaybe they got laid off, had to take a big salary cut to keep living, can’t afford a new car, and because they can charge the car for free at work they have extra money for food.
e: do you seriously expect me to care about your bad investment when my car (that I love and baby) is worth less than $5,000? Scrap yards exist. Your bad decision is worth more in parts than my home. And I am currently having to fight to keep my fucking car.
Edit I kind of skimmed the part where you said cyber trucks owners are Nazis. By that I mean, I read it is as Tesla owners are Nazis. Yeah, anyone who bought a Tesla in the last 5 years is probably a piece of garbage human or is an unfortunate result of a failed education. Which also makes selling them for good price a whole lot harder. The bumper stickers are a bandaid people use to make them selves feel a tiny it better, and a little extra hope their tires won’t get slashed.
People bought into the marketing hype pre-2020, and it was pretty much the only viable full EV in North America due to the charge network. A lot of people got them with good intentions for the environment.
Most people take out loans to buy new cars. When you sell or scrap a car the loan doesn’t go away. If you have 30k left on a loan, scrap the car for 10k - you’ll be left with a 20k loan and no car.
Regardless of a car’s financial worth, having a functional car is worth a lot more.
What your asking people to do is about as financially crazy as if someone told you to sell your car for $500, spend a thousand into maintance, and then go to buy a new one the leftover cash. In other words - blow your a sizable chunk of your own money because the owner of the car is a shit person. Who does that help? Musk already got his money, reselling the car does jack shit to him and completely fucks over the seller.

No sympathy.

They said “no sympathy” pretty clearly
