While I agree with the sentiment, if the face-value goal of this note becomes true, this has the same vibe as “Sell it to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?”
Actually, that’s exactly the point of “act fast” as described in the text.
If you assume that many will sell their cars, you also assume prices will drop. That means, it’s better to sell now, when prices are still somewhat high. It’s the same mechanism as in any stock crash.
i mean. wouldnt rebadging it and putting a “fuck elon” bumper sticker be more of a message than selling it to another sucker?

I honestly don’t understand what selling it does though. The same amount of teslas are still on the streets. Please help me understand.
The advice isn’t about reducing the number of Teslas. It’s about helping someone get out of owning one. Also, that money doesn’t go to Elon, it goes to the seller, so to some people, they might consider that part a wash.

You realize that if someone sells their Tesla, while they no longer own one, someone else does, right?
The point is crashing the market value of used Teslas, thereby reducing new sales as people will be more incentivized to buy used.
Sure, but the person selling doesn’t want it anymore and gets their money back. While at the same time; the person buying would have bought one anyway, potentially a brand new one. By selling your tesla to another driver, you’re bailing yourself out of a shit decision and taking one less buyer off the market further disrupting the companies income.
Every tesla bought off the used market is one less tesla purchased new, and Tesla the company only makes money off of new sales.
It’s giving chatgpt.
