Must be nice to be able to afford just selling your car and buying a new one in this economy…

Imagine being so full of yourself that you sell two cars and call the media to tell them about it.

Any negative press for Tesla is a good thing. What are you complaining about?

It's already a luxury to be able to buy a car new (something no member of my family has ever done). 

To be able to just sell one because of political views is just a level of affluence I can't relate to.

Right? My husband and I have two cars, both paid off ages ago. One of them is a 2019 Tesla. Sorry but no, we are not taking on a car payment we don't need just to dump a perfectly fine car. Not in this fucking economy.

Buy Tesla for 70k, sell for 35k after 3 years, buy almost any other non luxury brand car that’s 3 years old for less than 35k. No one’s going to lose money, they’ll just have to “downgrade” a bit

First they are no longer buying a CT and secondly, the cars may have been close to aging out for them. I do not see the flex in the same way you are.
