    I completely understand not wanting to buy from him, but taking the depreciation hit selling an otherwise perfectly good car that you already own is sort of dim. Just, you know, don’t be a repeat customer.

      They aren’t otherwise good cars. The software updates constantly introduced new, frustrating and unpredictable behaviors, and customer support is the worst I’ve experienced.

      sunk cost fallacy.

      why is every comment defending Tesla/Elon some fallacy its either some straw man or ‘im not really a fan of tesla BUT …’

        So your suggestion is sell for a loss then buy a new car that costs even more, simply because you don’t like the CEO? In your mind this is sound logic?

      Even more hilarious if they bought at the high price points of last year and are trying to sell now. Probably lost $20k if you did that.

      Considering the prices of used vehicles still (they have come down), you really are not taking a huge hit with depreciation.
