At least in the UK the license plate lets you know when the car was registered, so it's simple to tell if they bought the Tesla before Elon went off the cliff fully. I'm not going to begrudge anyone who doesn't sell their car, my judgement is reserved for the people buying them now
- mytailorisrich 2y agoWow, that is not sinister at all... /s Edit: My comment is obviously not about cars number plates...
- brianmcc 2y agoIt's harmless, it's a 6 month window. Number plate: XX24 - registered between 1 Mar 2024 - 31 Aug 2024 XX74 - registered between 1 Sep 2024 - 28 Feb 2025 XX25 - registered between 1 Mar 2025 - 31 Aug 2025 etc The first two letters of a number plate identifies the location where the vehicle was registered. For example, LA – LY covers London and MA – MY covers Manchester and Merseyside. Nothing personally identifying whatsoever. If you're truly paranoid about such things you can always buy a car registered hundreds of miles from your residence, and in practice with an abundance of second-hand (used) cars in the marketplace from across all the UK, there's always a huge variety of registration letters driving about anyway!
- Toutouxc 2y agoThey said "judgement", not setting them ablaze. I will also, inevitably, have some sort of opinion on people who have bought a Tesla after Jan 2025.
- rsynnott 2y agoI mean, what's sinister about judging someone for their car?
