There's an interesting mental exercise there. When someone is that rich, does the few hundred dollars from a car sale matter?
Honestly, until Rivian, all the other EVs were so bad that it didn't make sense to get the pyrrhic victory.

I'm not doing it to hurt Elon, I'm doing it for me, because I don't want to be putting my hard-earned money towards his enterprises. It's the same reason why people will stop buying products from companies who use sweatshops with child labor, etc. > Honestly, until Rivian, all the other EVs were so bad that it didn't make sense to get the pyrrhic victory. Absolutely. And I was huge fan of Tesla in the beginning, put a deposit on the 3 model when first came out years ago, before Elon went off the rails. Thankfully now there are more options.
- Schiendelman 4mo agoSure, if I hadn't needed a car in 2022, maybe not. But I think burning fossil fuels is way worse than the marginal benefit to Elon Musk...
- insane_dreamer 4mo agoagreed, I would still get a Tesla over an ICE car if there weren't any other good EV options
