Pew! Pew Cowboys!

It doesn’t say they had Teslas. So they prob weren’t charging teslas. If they were charging teslas and now we have one less Tesla owner is that a bad thing?

Uhhh, . . . .

A Tesla is pretty much a red hat on wheels these days.  I presume anyone driving one of those things is a MAGAt.  Or at least an acolyte of Joe Rogan.

Well I drive an electric car (which you know) but it most definitely is not a Tesla.

I'm sure that does have something to do with it.

Note that I said "a" reason; not "the" reason.  The fact is that prices of used Teslas have dropped more than the average for used cars.

Probably doesn't help the used prices that they keep dropping the price of new ones.

Well, right.  And they have to keep dropping the new prices in part because nobody wants to drive a political statement.

I mean, there's also the issue that Tesla hasn't developed a new model in years.  Their design looks tired and old.  And the engineering and quality seems to be . . . questionable.  All of that is contributing to it.

But don't downplay the role Elon has in Tesla's woes.

The back seat in the larger sedan sucks.  No headroom.

They dropped the May 2023 prices all the way to... the same as May 2020 prices.

2020 Model 3 RWD/AWD $40k/$49k

2023 Model 3 RWD/AWD $40k/$47k

2020 BMW 330e RWD/AWD $44.5k/$46.5k

2023 BMW 330e RWD/AWD $45k/$47k

No--that's certain true.  But it's a reason why the price of used Teslas has fallen off a cliff over the last six months.

Maybe it’s more to do with global supply chains returning to some semblance of normalcy.  It’s not just Tesla used vehicles that have dropped in price.

Two Tesla owners.

Two Teslas pulled up at almost the same time, Edgewater Police Sgt. Bob Brink said. A 33-year-old man exited his car and approached the other Tesla. The driver of that Tesla allegedly shot the 33-year-old and sped off.

 

Sad.  Modern-day version of this:

Sad? I mean, sure, two families’ lives have been completely destroyed over an argument about who got to charge their car.
 

But then again, if reports are true that both the cowboy and Indian were armed, we got one off the streets so he can’t get his feelings hurt again and pull a gun on someone so that seems like a win.

Why haven't the aliens come down and just put an end to this failed experiment.

Joke's on us.

Someone on a firearms self defense youtuber video said the best thing to do is to not get into any altercation, gun or not. It never works out, even for the "winning" party. Check your ego and the rest of your day will be alright. However that changes if you need to protect yourself or loved ones against imminent harm. A pissing contest at a charging station is likely not that type of situation.

What the fuck is a "non-standalone vehicle", then?  

A vehicle coupled with all the political baggage of who makes it and how it's made.
