The issue is that now your Tesla doesn't read as "I'm a good person" to your peer group. That's a you problem.

But no, I don't think you should commit insurance fraud to recoup the costs in your stupid car.

+1. I’m amazed at all the people with Tesla’s who are JUST NOW realizing this. The guy has been a POS for years.

RELAX.

There are so many Tesla owners who loathe Trump that no one is judging you.

Unless you own a Cybertruck, in which case, yes, you're driving around in a pedestrian killer, because the crushable part of the front bumper is smaller than on other trucks, and combined with its massive weight, this ensures pedestrian obliteration, so I judge you for not caring about other people's safety.

Yes, lithium batteries catch fire, and those are harder to put out than most types of fires. If you're parking in a garage that's attached to your house or under your building, just be comforted in the knowledge that battery fires are rare... and make sure your building has smoke/fire alarms.

Finally, here are some stickers you can put on your Tesla until your day of parting finally comes:

Me again. Did you catch my drift? Do not start a lithium battery fire yourself. They're way hotter than a normal fire, spread faster and generate highly toxic fumes. You can kill everyone in the vicinity.

I am surprised at all the people who don't know how to pluralize a common word.

I know someone who has had the car for awhile, but could have written what you wrote. They never put Tesla and Musk together until now. They bought the car to get dopamine.
Their family voted for Trump while they didn't. You can imagine the tension. Nobody is talking to anyone. We are not dealing with regular people though in this case on either side.
Musk has been Musk for a long time.
I'm sorry it came as a surprise to you that he and Tesla go together somehow.

Look at it this way: you may lose $10K because of Musk while others will lose much, much more because of him.

New pp here. While I agree with you, a lot of companies are run by Republicans. This is a very different thing. It's one thing to put politics aside because you want a product produced by a company run by a Republican. It's another thing to do that when the company is run by a man that's making himself de-facto king.

C'est la vie. Maybe try to sell it in Mississippi?

People have know that Elon was a shitty person for years. If you bought a Tesla in the last 5 years or so, you were just not paying attention.
