Who would buy a Tesla now, especially a used one.
For the MAGA heads who still like Musk, a Tesla does not roll coal enough. For those who would buy an EV, Tesla is a burned brand.
If it was within my budget I would buy a used Tesla. They're pretty decent cars. The idea that your car should communicate your values or identity is Bourgeois ideology that I fully reject.
When you look at the number of recalls they are doing, I wonder where your "pretty decent" rating comes from.
Idk I haven't been paying much attention I've only heard about the cyber truck specifically having issues
Within the budget of a used Tesla Model 3 are a lot of better cars. Jaguar I-Pace, Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai EV5, etc. pp.
I guess it depends on how much used Tesla are going for. If enough people want to get rid of them the price should keep falling.
Maybe, but who are you to mandate someone else’s choices? Each is a set of pros and cons, and different ones will resonate with different people. There is no objective better for a subjective choice. I could go down a list of places those other choices lag, and I’m sure you’ll dismiss them as unimportant. It’s fine that you find them unimportant but what gives you the right to dictate to anyone else?

Please do, that’s relevant info for people currently seeking to buy an EV.

99% of your text is you discussing against something I never wrote - Textbook straw man.
Are they decent? They have a high failure rate and as a used vehicle you're likely going to need to drop 20k to replace the dying battery.
I don't know, that might be true. Certainly at some price it becomes a good deal.
