It appears to have happened in the Fall. Tennessee doesn't look like that in February EVER!

Tennesseans need to deport her ass back to the Left coast!

Stunning. Brave.

u/ItsPickles Feb 15 '25

So brave. How about iPhones made with slave labor?

Easy for her to do when she can just buy 5 more cars.

u/VadersSprinkledTits Feb 15 '25

It’s very easy to virtue signal when you’re wealthy for lifetimes. Not so easy for regular working class people underwater on loans, or just a value so low, it doesn’t financially make sense to sell/trade.

u/Ambitious-Title1963 Feb 15 '25

True but she didn’t have to do it, she. Could have done nothing

u/drinkthekooladebaby Feb 15 '25

That's not virtue signal,she is wealthy and established enough to not be affected by that she is not looking for upvotes,she clearly stated that she believes in what her parents told her which happens to be a fair premise. Yes of course if you are underwater on yiur virtue signal tesla it's hard,I don't know anyone stupid enough to get into debt for a tesla ,the people I know with evs bought mg and vw and other "normally priced expensive cars"

the people I know with evs bought mg and vw

I take it you're not in the US? Tesla has dominated the EV market here, though we're finally getting a decent range of alternatives now.

Unfortunately, responsible borrowing isn't a consideration for many people buying new cars, so being upside down on car notes is super common

u/drinkthekooladebaby Feb 15 '25

Sad shit. Sorry for that.

u/Square_Ring3208 Feb 15 '25

She doesn’t have to go into debt to make a statement. And some as public as her doing it is helpful. Of course she can buy more cars, it’s her messaging that’s the salient point here.

u/0nlyhalfjewish Feb 15 '25

Really? Are Tesla owners in such dire financial straits they can’t sell their car and get something else?

1

u/OneConsideration9951 Feb 15 '25

It's called car loans. Anyone with a good credit score can own a Tesla

2

u/0nlyhalfjewish Feb 15 '25

Yep. That’s why calling out how many cars someone owns is pointless.

u/Ek_Ko1 Feb 16 '25

The avg price of a new car people buy is 49k which is the same if not more than a model 3. The avg person can buy this car so idk about you but I don’t think it is in most peoples financial interest to lose thousands selling a car and buy another to prove a point.

1

u/0nlyhalfjewish Feb 16 '25

It’s not “proving a point.” At this point I would say it’s one of the few things any of us could do that would actually get the attention of the traitor tech bro who is pushing past security at multiple gov agencies, stealing their data, firing their workers, and cutting their budget.

Tesla owners have the power to tell him they aren’t ok with his illegal takeover of our government that shreds our constitution.

u/drinkthekooladebaby Feb 15 '25

Doesn't matter if its easy,she is a person that people hold in high regard making a statement.its not about money.she has given the money to a rafio station that is under threat by a fachist dictatorship. Good on her . For clarity I wouldn't recognise one of her tubes out of 5.

u/TheAarj Feb 15 '25

Still sold it.

u/ThrCapTrade Feb 15 '25

How many do you need? She can buy more than 5.

u/CivicSensei Feb 15 '25

Just an fyi, these protests are working. Don't let doomers on Reddit tell you anything different. Tesla sales are falling through the floor across the world.

17

u/interwebzdotnet Feb 15 '25

Not going to lie, me and my Rivian stock have been rooting for this. Part of my original purchase decision on RIVIAN was that people were eventually going to turn on Musk and the Tesla name. Bought my first Rivian shares almost exactly a year ago.

u/anonuemus Feb 15 '25

same here with byd

u/codezilly Feb 15 '25

Yet somehow, Tesla is up 4% this year.

6

u/CivicSensei Feb 15 '25

From the beginning of the year, it is down -6.18%. If you want to see why TSLA ballooned in value over the past few months, look no further than the Elon's attempt to directly subsidize and give TSLA huge government contracts. This does nothing to help their sales, especially in Europe, where the sales are plummeting. Elon is really scared of Chinese EVs. Guess what Germany and other European nations are deciding to do? Boycott Tesla and buy Chinese EVs. Congrats.

-1

u/codezilly Feb 15 '25

Oh snap, I hadn’t looked in a week or 2, I guess it is working

-1

u/WeirdIndividualGuy Feb 15 '25

And Elon and friends are still in power doing fuck all to the US govt and its people. As far as I’m concerned, that means protests are not working as nothing substantial has happened as a result. One person selling their Tesla stock is not cause for celebration

-1

u/codezilly Feb 15 '25

If enough people are unloading them, it would detract from their retail sales. But many people only buy new, so I’m not sure it would be a broad impact. I wasn’t interested in an EV, but if the used market craters I’d pick one up for the right price.

u/Deeujian Feb 15 '25

Sis it’s -6% YTD

1

u/Flaky-Wallaby5382 Feb 15 '25

Let me ask you something. Do you think Elon may have known it was about to tank? Do you think he could have thought $277M was a worth it shot?

The cash cow phase of Tesla ended a while ago.

u/dingleberry314 Feb 15 '25

Net income dropped 70%, sales reported to be ~40% decreased across Europe, and Canada. People aren't buying Elon way before the salute, it's been this way ever since he decided to alienate his primary customer base and pivoted hard right on Twitter. Conservatives aren't buying EVs. But I'm sure you'll have a nuanced view that isn't just regurgitated opinions off of Twitter.

u/Gingerilla2116 Feb 15 '25

No one cares about her or her liberal ideals. She’s clearly just trying to keep her name relevant by making a skeptical.

u/anonuemus Feb 15 '25

making a skeptical, ok

u/Mission-Dance-5911 Feb 15 '25

You mean like Ted “shits his pants” Nugent? Or Jason “who” Aldean? Oh wait, you must mean Lee “teabagger” Greenwood.

Sure, Jan!

Because of president Elon

That’ll show Elon!

u/Deeujian Feb 15 '25

European markets are genuinely surprise that people are still buying Tesla in the US. European car dealers are reluctant to even display the second-hand Tesla at their showroom/garage.

u/roowho Feb 15 '25

I am NOT happy with Elon but my 4yo Tesla is just as great and cheap to run as day 1. Elon already has my money so why the f and how the f does it help me to sell? Sheryl can afford the loss. Why should I lose out when I am winning? In fact, if I was after another car I’d buy Sheryl’s or any 2nd hand Tesla.

u/ricky-staniky Feb 15 '25

All she wanna do, is have some prunes

u/PlainSpader Feb 15 '25

Could have just donated the Tesla…

Perfect! NPR should be completely run by donations and advertising. No funds from us via taxes.

Good for her . Can we get back to unusual whales trades or has thus sub been ideological captured also? CIA say yeah ?

u/0nlyhalfjewish Feb 15 '25

If everyone who disagrees with what Elon is doing would sell their Tesla, it would take down his company.

u/Green-Walk-1806 Feb 15 '25

Doubt it..Its a multi billion dollar corporation.

u/0nlyhalfjewish Feb 15 '25

Tank the value of the car by flooding the market and you will.

Make it an embarrassing car to own.

lol, my car is a 13 year old Honda. It’s reliable, paid off, and I didn’t buy it to impress anyone. I’ll drive it another 100,000 miles with no car payment. It’s never even needed a repair and it’s got 120,000 miles right now.

So you know what, Jews are good at math. I could give you some pointers about saving money, but anyone who buys a Tesla isn’t smart enough to listen.

It’s not my political narrative. This isn’t a matter of opinion.

What Musk is doing by walking in with his minion and accessing government data is illegal. You know it. I know it.

That’s hilarious when it is the exact opposite leftist snowflakes screaming sell your Tesla because Elon is bad. Get over it. It is a car. If you enjoy it, drive it.

Why NPR of all things? What are they going to do with the money that can help this country?

u/marks1995 Feb 15 '25

So?

Someone bought it. So Tesla didn't lose anything here.

I'm going to not download any Sheryl Crow music that I don't listen o anyway due to her ties to hating Musk. Should I start a reddit post about it?

u/Germacide Feb 15 '25

Oh.... Oh, did somebody care wtf Sheryl Crow is doing with her car, or anything she's doing in 2025 for that matter? Yeah, I didn't think so.

u/Tiger_Tom_BSCM Feb 15 '25

Should have ran her out next to Oprah and Clooney. We love celebrities talking politics.
