[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else see the irony of EV buyers trading in a newish car for political reasons?  Talk about bad for the environment![/quote]

It was never about the environment. Everyone already knew that the most environmentally sensible thing is to maintain the car you already own indefinitely. Vehicle churn is just posing.[/quote]

This. My twenty year old Toyota that I plan to keep driving until it doesn't anymore is good for the environment.

I'm fine with people who have more money than sense trading in their swasticars. [/quote]
I mean .. clearly Musk doesn't care about the environment either given he supports Trump.

The first EVs were bought by people interested in saving gas.  IMO Tesla became a status symbol.[/quote]

A strange status symbol considering they are basically stripped down Toyota Corollas except the Corolla is nicer. [/quote]

Agree, we love our Rivian because it actually feels like a luxury vehicle.  Seems like a lot of Tesla competitors have figured out how to do the same.[/quote]

Have a Rivian and had a Tesla. It’s amazing what it’s like to drive a car that isn’t just a tin can with an iPad attached to it. Got rid of the Tesla for a Polestar 3, which actually is a quick, solid vehicle. Zero regrets. Found it superior to the BMW I5. Not even in the same league as Tesla.

Back when they first started, Teslas were unique - they created a new market for EVs that didn’t exist before and made them mainstream. They put together a charging network that nobody else can touch in both number of locations and reliability. They deserve credit for that.

But today, they are a cheap electric car and people like them because they either have never driven any other electric car or they have joined the cult of Elon. Or both. You have options today. Use them. [/quote]
