I sold my 2021 model Y earlier this year and replaced it with a Cadillac Optiq, it cost me about $27,000. Granted, most of that is because I was getting rid of a 4 year old car and replacing it with a brand new car that is a little more up-market, so someone replacing a used tesla with a similarly aged used electric car won't have nearly as big a financial hit.

The trade in offers I got while shopping were $18k-$22k. Checking my area right now, a 2021 Mustang Mach E (rear wheel drive, standard range battery so a downgrade from the model y not quite an equivalent) is listed for $28k. So that's the financial hardship, $6k-$10k (depending on trade in offer)+ tax and a vehicle downgrade in both range and acceleration.

I'm not comfortable jumping down the throats of people that aren't in position to do that, I think it's shitty and shows a lack of empathy.

But there are vehicles available for 18-22k.  Just not like for like. You pay the Elon tax either in cash or in vehicle.  But those folks shouldn’t say they CAN’T do it.

They aren't actually doing it.

I wish they would.  Maybe Elmo could take one of the first test drives in his newest vehicle and it would blow up with him in it.

Nah the perfect timeline would be a Cybertruck bro using FSD while watching gay porn taking him out crossing the street.

Musing on the persistence of the name “DOGE” — now adopted by caucuses in the House and Senate — Musk reminded reporters the title started as a meme coin.
“Doesn’t the absurdity of that seem, like are we in a simulation here? Or what’s going on?” he asked, and laughed. “Doesn’t it seem absurd?”

Doge didn't start as a fucking meme coin.

Damn, I almost forgot about the origin of the term.

And while I would not call Dogefather much of a stretch as “unique” since it’s a play on an album title, it also predates Elon’s modern use. It’s likely to be found much earlier.

See the area code in handle.  Fuck this guy to pieces. I vote to build a camp for him and DOGE people in Cameron County.

Sure, they CAN do it.   But for many people, it will directly cost them thousands of dollars.   
 

And what does that loss of thousands actually do?   Tesla still has still been paid or will get paid for that vehicle.   
 

Re-selling a vehicle that has already been purchased from Tesla makes zero financial impact to the company and Musk.  
 

Attributing some sort of moral failure or lack of empathy to people who  do not sell their Teslas is pretty unfair.  Asking people to eat thousands of dollars to make a completely symbolic gesture is unrealistic.  It doesn’t make someone a bad person if they choose not to accept financial hardship in order to meet your arbitrary standard for ideological purity or political solidarity.

Don't fuck with West Lake Hills. Which one of you is Mr. Hemmer????

At first, residents of the upscale cul-de-sac in West Lake Hills, Texas, did not know who had moved into the 6,900-square-foot, six-bedroom mansion next door.
Then construction workers arrived to erect a 16-foot chain-link fence around the $6 million property, which is one of four homes on the leafy street. They also installed an outward-facing camera. Next, a fleet of cars — many of them Teslas — began parking on the street. Three times a day, a shift change signaled security personnel coming and going at the house. Once, the driver of a passing car shouted late at night that he was looking for a party at “E’s house.”
Mr. Hemmer, who has long owned a Tesla, grew so frustrated with his neighbor that he began flying a drone over the house to check for city violations, and he keeps a video camera trained on the property around the clock. Last year, he complained to West Lake Hills officials about Mr. Musk’s fence, the traffic and how he thought the owner was operating a security business from the property.
Mr. Musk’s security team also contacted the West Lake Hills Police Department about Mr. Hemmer, according to city records. One security official accused Mr. Hemmer last year of standing naked in the street, according to the records.
Mr. Hemmer denied that he was naked and said he was on his property wearing black underwear. On another night, he said, he was walking his dog fully clothed and stopped when he suddenly needed to urinate — which Mr. Musk’s camera captured.
“The cameras got me,” Mr. Hemmer said. “It’s scary they have guys sitting and watching me pee.”

And… these kinds of neighbors are why we passed on buying in Westlake.

Last week I was on a flight for the first time for the year. While flying, I like to check the flight map on the TV screen/app. Was completely shocked that United was still calling GOM by GOM instead of Gulf of America. I would have to guess that MAGA types would be up in arms about United going against the President.

They all fly Spirit or take Greyhound.

we just spent $635 billion plus to save $160 billion all while putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work and causing uncountable numbers of deaths abroad.

This, my friends, is what "winning" looks like in Elon-world.  For real.  It's so...fucking...stupid.

Just get into your people allocated shared Tesla and STFU. Be glad they are letting you wear dark grey vs. black. Damn lawyers get all the perks.

Next administration, if there is one, should send Nazi boi a bill for 635- 160 = 465 billion dollars. Maybe to be fair, we'll credit him with minimum wage (minus taxes) for each hour of work he can account for by having him fill out a time sheet and having DoTARd sign it.

It’s making a lot of rich donors even richer, so it’s “winning” for them.
