Love to see it! Good time to post my recent Tesla story: family member passed away a year ago and I got their car - older Tesla Model S that was in mint condition and had free charging for life. So I had a free car and could essentially drive it for free (ignoring insurance). Lot of nice features on it, but was clear that Tesla doesn't do the basics of car building very well. Bit noisy, a rattle here and there, exterior trim pieces that are a little loose, and window seals that drip when you go through the car wash. Not even going to go into their software, which is pretty shitty. Basically a lot of things that look nice at first glance, but kinda janky when you look more closely. Nuts that that was a $100k car when purchased new - doesn't seem to fit with reality. Anywho, I listed it for a while on Craigslist because I wanted off of the Tesla rollercoaster (for loads of reasons - Elmo, future stability of Tesla which is unknown, and having the weight around my neck of a car that I might not ever be able to get rid of in the future). Played the Craigslist game for a little while and then decided because of the tariffs coming to just go the trade-in route. Went in and traded it for a Mach E, which so far, I'm liking. Seems like a better-made car all around, is just as fast as the Tesla, and has more bells and whistles for half the price. The Ford dealership was starting to look like a Tesla dealership - the salesman said that loads of people were doing the same thing I was, including him - he had one but still had a loan to pay off but he wanted to swap his as well. He said he didn't want my car but was willing to take the trade in to make the sale, so worked out for me. What was also great is that the Hands Off protest was happening the same day right in front of the dealership (Tesla was a block up), so we listened to the sweet sounds of shouts and car horns while we did paperwork. Good stuff.

Should also note that with the exception of the Cyberdumpster owners (probably beyond help), just remember that there are lots of Teslas on the road and each of those drivers have a different story. I'm all for civil disobedience (it's definitely needed right now), but many of those owners just aren't in a position to sell/burn/destroy/dump their Tesla. Cars are expensive, and now more than ever, we're probably going to need to drive them as long as possible to get our money's worth out of them. I was in a lucky situation with mine so I could get rid of it, but just have compassion for those who can't.

Has any other car manufacturer ever had a similar policy of not accepting their own vehicles as trade-ins?

Many Cybertruck owners reported trying to trade-in the truck for a new vehicle

It only came out in November 2023! They're already trying to trade it in? Seems like that's it's own sign of problems.

Some owners who have had their trucks in service for extended periods of time

NOVEMBER 2023!!! Nobody has had a one of these dumpsters for an extended period of time!

I will feel a lot better when their stock price goes much, much, much lower. Sure they are down 40+% in the past 3 months, but they were WAY too high prior to that.

Their P/E should be in the single digits if they were like most American companies. Until I see that, I'll know that they are nothing but a fucking chud memestock.

I'm pretty sure I watched a very persuasive infomercial from our president on why we should buy them.

This is obviously due to the liberal media brainwashing consumers not to buy them.

OR...

It's produced by a Nazi.

It could be that this vehicle has averaged a major recall every 60 days since release.

Gas pedal detaches itself for spontaneous fully automated joy rides.

It looks like what happened if oops all polygons fucked a roll of tinfoil.

It rusts, the panels fly off, and if you take it through a car wash it'll total it.

It hasn't lived up to any of the hype or range estimates stated.

The trailer hitch is held on by the polycarbonate (plastic that went to college) frame, so enjoy causing a massive traffic fatality while towing (even within the recommended towing capacity specs).

It's 14 times more dangerous than the Ford Pinto which was on the market 3x longer and became synonymous with explosions.

Lastly, it's become a way of explicitly telling the world I have a $100,000 truck and a $10 brain.

If you were foolish enough to buy a Tesla, and too dumb to get rid of it already, make another poor decision and go to https://stealmytesla.com/ for the final solution to your problem.

The swastikar idiots need to be called out constantly. They know exactly what they are doing. There are no coincidences. These are the willing participants in the far right agenda….

I wonder if the cybertruck will be the Delorian of the future.

Expect another round of " incendiary device" burned down our "trucks".

Womp womp. Glued together piece of scrap plastic

There was Dealership near me that had a bunch of their teslas keyed and damaged and smashed. Curious. Now that dealership can claim insurance money on the cars he can’t sell!

Are these pieces of junk for sale anywhere outside of Trumpistan? I travel all over the EU for work constantly and I’ve never see one over here, ever.

I imagine Trump will buy the useless cyberdumpsters and give them to cops to use. They are such badly engineered and frequently broken POS's I wouldnt even mind. Let "law enforcement" deal with them.

despite claiming

I claim myself the Glorious Leader of the Solar System. I tried to demand the Sun to fry a little less but... I'll try again later.

I saw one yesterday in the wild. It's unusual for where I live, we're not rich here, and being a blue state, we're not stupid, either.

Surprisingly, it still had all of it's body panels intact.

The whole internet seems happy about the "people" burning Teslas in protest. I am pretty sure they were all insured and given the terrible sales figures... please guess who is benefitting the most of that burning?
