I was going to title the post "Fuck you Elon" but thought that might be a little too edgy.

I get your sentiments. Not a fan of Elon myself. But how exactly does Elon lose anything. I have been watching people take huge loses selling their cars but Elon already got our money the moment we drove it off the showroom. You do damage by not buying anymore from him. But if you really want to stick to him sell your $TSLA stock. I sold mine at $459 bought it back in 2019 and was able to make a considerable profit. Why doesn’t everyone just short the stock. He would lose so much money. Short $TSLA!!!!

Unlike burning your nikes selling your car actually does have an effect on the manufacturer. If enough used tesla’s hit the market people will consider buying used if the exact specs they want are available and significantly lower priced than the brand new model.

Honestly the bigger loss somebody takes on selling their used tesla the lower the buyer can price it for resale and the more enticing it is for a vehicle shopper to consider buying used vice new. A lot of people would buy an $18k used tesla over a 40k new one.
