Once they build a few thousand robots they should be able to get rid of all staff at Tesla and greatly reduce the price on the more popular models. Elon could run around the factory yelling at the robots.

The Model S is a bit long in the tooth but a coworker just bought a new one and it’s sexy as hell.

Come back to criticize others after you have founded and built companies as valuable as Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring company, xAI, and PayPal. Until then, you're merely a pitifully jealous relative failure.

OEMs are usually pretty committed to maintaining a stock of replacement parts.

See the NHTSA guidance below. It's probably cheaper to maintain a stock of parts for 10 years at predicted consumption rates than to buy back used cars that can't be resold. Service parts is a decent business. And exterior parts like bumpers that are commonly damaged are needed for safe operation of the car. Finally, manufacturers want to earn brand loyalty. Screwing over former customers of luxury cars is inadvisable.

"Also, under 49 U.S.C. 30120, if either a manufacturer or this agency decides, within 10 years of the date of sale of the vehicle to the first purchaser, that a motor vehicle contains a safety-related defect or fails to comply with a Federal motor vehicle safety standard, the manufacturer is required to provide a free remedy for the safety-related defect or noncompliance. These remedies may include the repair, replacement or repurchase of the affected vehicles."

They will soon be making a long wheelbase version of the Model Y.

Then the Model X will return but built on the Cybertruck wheelbase.

Unsure about the Model S. Saloon sedans are a hyper low volume dying breed.

Saloon?

That’s British for sedans
