    I wouldn't call them super cheap though they depreciate a lot from the new prices. Lots of quality ICE cars of similar age at lower prices, i.e. they are still expensive cars.

    You can get fantastically good deals on used Fiskers. The company is bankrupt but there's a lively community of owners and getting stuff like repair parts isn't hard. I'm slightly tempted but only slightly. What I really want is an EV conversion for an old cargo van, so it would have very few computers inside.

      This is my stupid fucking friend who can’t get off Elons nuts at all. It’s fucking sad. He literally bought a model Y the other day despite me telling him Rivian is about to release a competitor because he thinks he can add it to the robo taxi fleet in a year or two. God I love him and am sick of this shit.

      I have one of those friends acquittances. Glow in his eyes when he talks about Elons great deeds. He also just bought a Y-model, because Elon was treated unfairly, even though he's in large debt due to a grand business opportunity that went south.

        You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.

              Which Japanese EV? I'm not aware of any good ones.

              Korean ones? Best on the market. If you want the best for a reasonable price, Hyundai or Kia.

                  From what Elon says to shareholders, Tesla is going to pivot to becoming a humanoid robot production company anyway, the cars are just a sideline. They axed two models when they announced that.

                      The bz4x/bz/Solterra is still the worst EV on the road, bar none.

                      Worst range of all EVs, flip phone quality software center stack, and the same price as a model y. It’s nuts that anyone would buy those pieces of shit.

                        Yes, although I was obviously being a bit sarcastic - but not really since there's so many neo-nazis over here...

                          To be fair, I’m waiting on the R2 as well, but I’m strapping in for first generation fit and finish issues galore. Rivian hasn’t surpassed Tesla in software or aftermarket flexibility.

                          Not to mention, we probably won’t be able to take delivery until late this year despite paying for a reservation from this past March.

                            At this point i no longer care if they lower the price until they're free. They will have to sell them as scrap at a loss. I will never, ever, ever buy a Tesla.

                            I'd take a free Tesla. Pull the batteries and drive modules.
                            Scrap the shell, sell the drive modules, use the batteries for home storage.

                                If the price drops enough I would get one. I would hate to give money to musk, but it is not a bad car (based on the 2 people I know who have owned them for years).

                                We bought one a fair bit before Musk went full Neo Nazi. It's a great car, the best car I've ever owned. The only repair in nearly 180k km was a known issue covered by warranty. They could be fantastic if the company wasn't run by a moronic, petulant Neo-Nazi.

                                  Elon couldn't pay me to buy a Tesla. I like EVs. It's not about the technology. It's entirely about Elon. I'd rather buy Japanese or South Korean, thank you.

                                  Well let’s not be too hasty here…

                                  I really despise most everything about him but if Elon were to actually pay me and give me a free car I’d very likely take it. I mean I have principles but I’m not an idiot.

                                    You could buy used not from Tesla if you did decide to buy in the future. Can get a great car and not pad their books.

                                          You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.

                                          Not only that, you sort of have to hate having money.

                                          With the cyber trucks having shit glued on them all over the place the company just seems laughable.

                                          If I'm putting down (potentially) luxury car money I better damned well have a luxury car.
