      If they are insured, no.

      Insurance premiums will go up on teslas.

      Then people will buy less tesla.

      Then Musk will get margin called.

        Premiums going up will hurt regular people more than Musk. Hurting your fellow countrymen is such a lefty thing to do…

          It will only hurt people who continue to own Teslas when they renew their insurance. They are part of the demographic supporting Musk, so fuckem.

            Yeah conservatives were totally the largest market for EVs before Musk took the mask off, right? You people truly have not spent even a microsecond thinking this through.

              What? This has nothing to do with politics of the consumer. YOU haven’t thought this through.

              The point is to damage Musk. If you continue to use his products (rather than sell or scrap) then you are part of the problems.

              This is true for cars, websites, AI, satellite connectivity etc.

                There’s no one to sell to and scraping would only hurt the people. Next time try to use your brain.

                  This only hurts the people who own a tesla long term.

                  If they can’t scrap or sell then an insurance write of is the best way to reclaim the value.

                You don’t get to decide who uses what product and commit vandalism acts if they choose differently than you.

                  You would be attacking Musk. The users of the product get compensated. In fact, an insurance write off is a better financial option than the second hand market.

                    No, you wouldn’t be attacking Musk, you are attacking random people.

                    If you want to attack Musk, then target his own properties, not random people’s; not that I condone violence either way.
