What happens to cars that are written-off and not bought by your dad or someone else who wants to fix them up and get them back on the road?
They go into the car crusher, but only after every part with any value is stripped from them.
(Yes, I agree that a functioning Telsa car is worth more then a bunch of Telsa parts)
If Mercedes could prevent people from buying written-off Mercedes cars, fixing them up and re-selling them, they certainly would!
Telsa can do this, and they have a phony-baloney reason for doing this (safety! protecting the children!), so it makes sense for them to do it.
And also, this is good for Telsa-buyers. If I spend 100-large, or 70-large on a Telsa, I don't want the hoi polloi to be able to purchase value-priced Telsas!
It's a win-win-win. Telsa gets more money, Telsa-buyers get a more exclusive brand, and hackers get cheaper Telsa parts on eBay!
