I so glad I never fell for fElon's bullshit. There were times long ago I considered a tesla for every good reason. But fElon's bullshitty things always made me stop. Glad to have held out!

The resale value will be for scrap when Tesla goes bankrupt, shuts down the dealers and factories then sells off the remaining intellectual property to cover debts. You will not be able to get any replacement parts to repair it when it breaks - and you will also not be able to make parts yourself because these vehicles are famously more computers than cars.

If they're uninsurable, then it's not just a collapse of the resale market, it's a collapse of the whole brand since you can't drive around uninsured.

Seems about right. Wife and I spend about $2k a year insuring two vehicles. Granted that's hybrids around $40k each new with available and affordable parts. Just about every safety feature you can get too. Actually cheaper to insure than our previous vehicles that were both ~10 years old.
FlyingButtPliers
That was using the cheapest option at every choice.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
All of this hurts resale value, and poor resale values drive up the cost of leasing, which further dents their sales. A virtuous cycle.

I wonder what its like inside the Tesla boardroom right now? Musk is just the figurehead, the people actually running the company must be pulling their hair out. Sure the only reason the stock was so high was because of Musk, and it's still massively overvalued for a car company even after the pullback... but now this. This is real stuff. There must be a middle tier of investors who have lost millions in paper value and are cursing Musk's name all day every day.

I couldn't find any news coverage of this so it's impossible to verify any of it. All the issues Tesla has always had with repairs, they're very expensive and parts take forever to get, plus the vandalism now that he's gone full blown Nazi it does make sense that they would become uninsurable. Tesla started their own insurance a while back because even their cars were difficult to get insured at one point.

Only people who can still safely own Muskrat's deploreans are those living in gated communities in fully Repugnican supporting regions like Florida, where other people are either too ignorant about social issues or too scared for their own reputation to act in making an appropriate statement. Anywhere civilized, a cyberdumpster would have some enthusiastic amateur art on it, if it has not already caught itself on flames. No surprise they would not be covered by insurance

I'm also thinking that since the pedestrian crash rating is low on the Wankpanzer (literally can't be sold in Europe due to how dangerous it is) that in a for profit healthcare country like the USA, payouts would be through the roof for even minor accidents

Indeed, all I could find was this https://insideevs.com/news/753730/tesla-insurance-vandalism-elon-musk/ (higher premiums not banned)
Reddit, but I saw a guy asking same question and he said after brokerage only a few did not have ridiculous premiums.
nemesisx00
If there's one thing insurance companies hate doing, it's paying out for claims. SoI don't even consider it a question that they're jacking up prices now that it's even more popular to fuck teslas up.
Feralkyn
I know they were already uninsurable from the start in some places, and others very expensive or difficult to insure. There were complaints on the tesla subreddit iirc that some owners simply could not find a carrier. I have no idea if the info in OP about the owners "racing to offload" them is true though, or if the uninsurability (new word yo) is actually getting worse
SirenBrick
Yes, some states only recognize them as out of state vehicles (because they are EV's), and for a long time they could ONLY be sold when transiting state lines or the seller would violate dealership laws. It is almost 5k a year to insure one, with an expected 25-50% increase from the dealership insurance this month, which would make it the 2nd most expensive brand to insure.
Eidodk
I don't know why you would need to verify it at all. It's just an anecdote. This is a supposed salesman being quoted as to saying that teslas come into the used market in troves, while retelling that a user claimed his reason for selling was that he would sell before they become uninsurable. This is a quote from a SINGLE person, evidenced by only ONE set of quotation marks. Not a word about teslas being uninsurable in the "article"
hetnkik999
Tesla offers their own insurance so I don't see how Tesla owners would ever have trouble being covered.

They have trouble paying the cost- Consumer Reports rank Tesla 14th of 30 brands for reliability which is below average. Data shows Tesla models require more repairs than average.
hetnkik999
I work in an insurance office and we've had several clients cancel their Tesla insurance with us (which isn't any more expensive than any other luxury brand) and switch to Tesla's in-house insurance because it's cheaper.

I believe it's a parody of a very niche Christian youth thing where popular fictional characters are drawn praying accompanied by some Bible verse. I've seen a handful of unironic ones out in the wild before. Whether this is a copy or imitation I can't say.
If it is copying it for parody, the intent is likely to highlight this very absurdity you mentioned.

Even if the stock price dropped to 12 elon would still have 80 billion in stocks. I mean its a fuckload better than 300 billion but he isnt going away if tesla dies. And he would get removed from the tesla board long before it got to 80 points. It only dropped 7 points yesterday down to 236. Gonna take a long time at the current rate. Im glad he lost half his "wealth" so far. But i do not think he cares.
InternetAnonymityplz
I think he cares a great deal, but I don't expect him to learn the correct lesson from it. He'll just say "something something woke mind virus" and double down on his bullshit.
keoghberry
Didn't he use his tesla stock price as collateral for buying twitter? If the stock drops enough then the loans he took out are useless, and the bank will ruin him
JohnSmithterms
Apparently it was only 13 billion leveraged from the bank and he has paid off some and perhaps all of that already. But yeah twitter was what 40 billion and now worth 9 billion tops. So if stock prices drop to 120 and say he owes 30 billion he would still have 18 billion from tesla alone. #taxtherich is the only solution . A wealth tax is the only way this gets better for any of us. He is just 1 of the billionaires that control 80% of ALL wealth and each year they collect and buy more assets.
JohnSmithterms
Oh and of course the other way is if tesla sales drop by a certain amount ... maybe 40% maybe 60% then Tesla will be forced to get rid of Musk. Mind you I still would not buy a Tesla due to their shitty safety record and worse their ant right to repair stance with regard to making parts available which are not marked up 100%. If they changed that I would think about it again.
OlofBorrbrottsson
Think positive, the added stress of losing billions just might be the final nudge towards him overdosing.

Yes, and. We're shooting for $114. That's when the banks are "obligated" to margin call. I smell a bank bailout!
ArchMagos
Iirc, it has to do with him using his tesla stocks as collateral for the loan he took to purchase twitter
cosonfused
Why 114 specifically? Isn't 144 still high?
AngurProne
The theory is that the margin call will happen at 114. I.e. his lenders will not be happy that their collateral (his Tessler stock) has been devalued. I doubt it happens even below $114. The whole inside is computer!

Well, sure. But there's a big difference between generic corporate bullshit, for example VW execs skirting diesel regulation, and wanting to dismantle the entire government.
