Tesla for sale: The buyer’s remorse is drowned in EV-MUSK critics

When Jennifer Tripp was first pulled to her corridor two years ago with the elegant Tesla style, it was – as I put it – “similar to the moment of return to the future.”

She was helping the environment, but Tesla’s leadership also had Kachtit. “It was definitely a great moment to get something innovative and different,” she said.

But Mrs. Trebb recently turned, where she joined the ranks of Tesla owners in the United States and Foreign Ministry-some of them are well known, including singer Crow- who sell their cars because the values ​​and policy of the billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, say. His role in the Trump administration, which plays his authority over the federal government, has exacerbated this tension.

Jupiter’s remorse plays in a volatile moment to Tasla, as the shares decreased with double numbers last week, giving most of the elections to Mr. Musk. A recent report showed a decrease in sales in Europe, and the company is facing increasing competition from other EV makers who eat its share in the market. The recent protests protested outside Tesla showrooms in the United States, and some prominent cases of car owners who are harassed may have topped the headlines.

Ms. Trip, 54, a family and democratic specialist, said that she decided to deliberate in Tesla for Mercedes -working gas, accepting $ 32,000 of Tesla value of $ 55,880, despite her presence only 10,000 miles. She said that her decision was established during a modern trip to the supermarket.

She said, “Two weeks ago, Nazi was called” in the parking square in Krauger, “adding a obscene word.” I went back to the house and told my husband, that’s all. i’m done.'”

A number of bankers from the Tesla brand brand said that when Mr. Musk had seized his arm diagonally, as a palm tree in his speech at the inauguration event of Mr. Trump, a gesture similar to a greeting used in Nazi and fascist Germany.

“I felt embarrassed to see her in that car now,” said Ms. Tripp, who got an abundant poster who said: “I was embarrassed to see her in that car now.

Tesla did not respond to the suspension requests.

With its future curves and environmentally friendly slogan, Tesla moved in the past decade from curiosity to the symbol of celebrity to everywhere. In 2015, the company said it sold 50,000 cars worldwide. In 2019, this number jumped to 36,7500 cars, and in 2021 it was nearly a million. Tslias filled Instagram extracts for the wealthy and appeared in the pop culture. There was Jaden Smith installed in the back of the Pink Model X with the opening of the Falcon Wing doors in a music video. Tony Stark from Marvel, played by Robert Downey Junior, had Tesla Rodstter in his car group, and even Mr. Musk made a veil in the “Iron Man” concession.

In recent years, when Mr. Musk has become a wider scale, he has caused criticism for his overwhelming discounts to federal agencies as part of the Trump administration, and his support for the far -right AFD AFD in Germany and his views of Covid clorts. But Tesla’s sales were flexible and climbed every year, and helped with what the market researchers describe as the loyalty of the brand among customers.

Recently, monthly sales in the United States have been restored between 50,000 and 60,000 after explosive growth. In 2024, Tesla reported the first annual decrease in its history.

Erane Kitting, CEO of Cox Automotive, a research company, said it is too early to know the type of role that Mr. Musk may play on Tesla sales or the value of the models used.

However, liberals who only contradict the possession of one of EVS that helped make Mr. Musk the richest person in the world.

Dr. Komit Garouji, 40, a Republican of Warstras, Massachusetts, used $ 113,000 of e -gold to announce his plastic surgery practicing in a striking way, and visualization of contact information on her side. But he recently started trying a lot of violent reaction that he had to remove information from his car.

“It has become really bad after the opening,” said Dr. Garouji.

A obscene metaphor appeared with the word “Nazi” recently on the truck while he was in its corridor.

A few days later, Dr. Jaroje, a Syrian immigrant, said he had received a threat in his practice, which led him to submit a police report. He said that his practice also received a flow of negative reviews online.

Dr. Jaroje said he called Tesla about trading in Cyberrtruck, but to no avail, and he said he intends to sell it.

Switch Tesla for another electric car is not the logistical challenge that it was once for a number of new models.

“Many manufacturers have begun to adopt the infrastructure of Tastla,” said Ms. Kiting.

Among the 20 used car models with the largest decrease in value for the year that ends in January, Tesla represents four of them, according to Karl Praor, the executive analyst at ISEECARS.com, an online search site. Models are placed at the top of the menu, model 3 (27.1 percent) and the Y (21.9 %).

Mr. Praire said that electric vehicles usually decrease faster than other used cars, because buyers focus on the value more than prestige or brand, but he said it is still a surprise to see the second model in the list.

Tesla shares decreased about 13 percent during the past week of February, increasing the company’s market value to less than $ 1 trillion. The shares were closed at $ 284.65 on Monday, the lowest level since November 5, election day. This fell by more than 40 percent of the peak of $ 479.86 at the end on December 17.

The segment followed the company’s disappointing sales report in Europe: The number of new car records in Teslas decreased by 50 percent in January of the previous year, according to the European auto manufacturers Association. A decrease in a decrease of 5.9 percent in electric car recordings in general showed in the same period, and the association’s lists showed.

Paul Onwin, 67, who is a writer and director who lives in London, said he paid an early fee for the end of about 500 British pounds in December to leave the rental contract for a period of three years on his Tesla model several months ago in protest against Mr. Musk.

“I called the rental company, and I said,” I want you to return the car. “

He said that his neighbors had noticed when they replaced Tesla Polistar 3, which is also an electric car.

Mr. Onwin said: “People said, I am happy that you got rid of that car,” adding that he did not regret the payment to get out of the lease. “I would have paid that twice it.”

Alex Cole-Hamilton, a member of the Scottish Parliament and the Libyan Liberal Democrats, announced social media in February that he also sold Tesla five years ago.

“With the daily importance of musk, and his islands of respectful public discourse, I can no longer lead it,” said Mr. Cole Hamilton.

In the United States, the most prominent brand reprimand for cars was presented by Mrs. Crowe, the singer and songwriter, who published a video on Instagram in February showing goodbye to her goodbye because her electric car was driven on a flat truck.

Actress Octavia Spencer and musician Kacey Musgraves were among the celebrities who suspended decision support messages.

However, Teslias are the most popular electric cars in the United States.

In discussions about the Facebook Model 3 Facebook 3 owners, with 93,000 members, members sometimes announce that they bought a car to support Elon or because of his general personality.

In the appearance of Sean Hanity on Fox News, Senator John Kennedy, Republican Louisiana, mocked the protest of Mrs. Crowe.

Mr. Kennedy said: “I think it means well, but if she has smart thought, he died alone and afraid,” said Mr. Kennedy.

Mr. Hanity, who had Mr. Musk and Mr. Trump recently, told Mr. Kennedy in response: “I have friends who possess a throat, and if they would get a boycott and try to harm Mouc to expose waste, fraud, abuse and corruption, then you know, so I think I will really search in Tesla.”

He continued: “I think this will be my next car.”
