Quote from: Jacob on November 08, 2023, 11:06:05 AMI thought a whole bunch of IC vehicles actually gained value on the used market in the last few years. Seems like Tesla's fared quite poorly relative to a number of other vehicles in terms of depreciation.

During the parts and production shortage, yeah. I think things have gone back to normal though.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I stand corrected.

So I can't say for the UK, but we bought a used truck this past summer.  There was lots of selection and it seemed like things had gotten pretty normal-ish in the used vehicle market.

But yeah a year earlier I heard of dealerships just calling customers up and basically begging to buy their vehicles from them.

This really nothing fundamentally wrong with Elon that a little nationalization of Starlink can't fix.

It was 2022 or 2021, because new cars, at least some types, were in real short supply because of the chip shortage.

I still never got any crazy offers for my 2013 VW Jetta though. :(

I recently got a used 2013 Nissan Leaf, my first completely electric vehicle. So far I really like it, such a smooth and quiet ride though you do have to always be thinking about your battery life.

But it fits my main requirement for car: it was cheap. A quality Teslas tend not to have.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Does cybertruck at least fix the known visibility and safety issues of pickup trucks? Doesn't look quite so beefy at a glance....

QuoteGiven the subscription model of much of the software Tesla EVs use, resale can be complicated. The Full Self-Driving feature, which costs up to $199 per month, is not transferable to a new owner, Fast Company reported.

When will someone rid us of this turbulent billionaire?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
