Bro they selling it off because those teslas are high mileage.. they selling them off before the battery warranty is up.. it’s the same thing with their regular gas cars.. They sell them off after 1 to 3 years to buy newer cars..

Stop falling down okey doke… If anything this your opportunity to get a Tesla on the cheap while dumb asses still upside town other loans from a few years ago
Also IIRC, Tesla batteries have long warranties

So if you cop a used one from Hertz, you still have a ways to go before it clonks out

Also those of you worried about Tesla recalls, most of those "recalls" have been software updates that occur OTA

The issue is Elon but the company itself is still far ahead of the game when it comes to tech batteries charging stations etc

havent had 1 issue with my tesla in 1 1/2 years. Literally have spent $0 on maintenance so far

The same can be said for new ICE vehicles.

No one wants to replace a bad battery at an exorbitant cost.

I hate Elon and left twitter as soon as he got it. Not after he did what we all knew he was gonna do there.

Tesla itself is a great car though in my honest opinion.

That’s why the board of directors gotta bush him.. soon as that happens watch their stock price shoot through the roof

If they push him out, and bring in someone like Ghosn, you'll see them drop all that techno-babble and actually become an actual car company.....not this multi-hyphenate shyt where they spend all this time cutting promos for things never coming out ( Semi/Roadster), nonsensical projects like the vegas loop/dugout project and trying to be a comic book character.

FILE - A Tesla logo is seen on a vehicle on display in Austin, Texas, Feb. 22, 2023. Shares of Tesla tumbled at the opening bell Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 as the electric vehicle, solar panel and battery maker warned investors of slower sales growth in 2024 after putting up quarterly financial results that were weaker than most had expected.

Tesla is recalling nearly 200,000 vehicles in the U.S. because the backup camera may not function while the car is in reverse.
The recall covers certain Models Y, S and X from the 2023 model year. All are equipped with “Full Self-Driving” computer 4.0 and run software version 2023.44.30 through 2023.44.30.6 or 2023.44.100.

The company says in documents posted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that software instability may prevent the camera image from showing images while the Teslas are in reverse. The safety agency says that can increase the risk of a crash.
Tesla says in documents that it is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Documents say the problem has been fixed with an online software update.
Owners will be notified by letter starting March 22.

Tesla said in documents that it is not aware of any crashes, injuries or deaths related to the issue.
Tesla began getting complaints about the problem in late December and decided to do a recall on Jan. 12, documents say. As of Jan. 22, the company had 81 warranty claims potentially related to the problem.
Teslas cannot drive themselves despite having a “Full Self-Driving” system, and human drivers have to be ready to intervene at all times.

:huhldup:
America completely underestimate the Chinese EV industry. The Chinese government has creating EV infrastructure in China for well over a decade. BYD sells more EVs than Tesla, but they are now importing their cars into Europe. The EU is trying to find ways to add tariffs to them to make European EVs more attractive to European buyers. Once the likes of BYD, Nio, and Xpeng start importing here, its a wrap. I already got my eyes on one.

Indians in DFW can keep the entire Tesla company in business. If its the same anywhere else, tesla will be more than fine.

I wanted one....until they jacked up the price couple yrs ago. Then it became an issue of principle.

But now I have an Ioniq 6 so I'm gucci
