    They didn’t “simply buy a car”, they bought a symbol, and everything that brings along with it.

      If you buy one today, sure, a few years ago, before their QC issues and mush really started fucking with the company, they weren’t an awful deal.

      Even the cyberdumpsters, you could have been on a waiting list for 3-4 years and paid a solid downpayment.

      What happens if mush buys out Rivian, all those retroactively turn to shit?

      They’re also probably trapped in a loan. That 50-60k car was financed. it’s now worth 1/3 of it’s original cost. A lot of people who shouldn’t have spent 50k on a car will because monthly payments make it affordable to them, now they sell it and can only replace it with a hundai.

        I guess it sucks to buy a car from a nazi, huh?

        This is not new… how long has he owned twitter? 3 years ago? How long has it been since he accused a lead of a rescue team of being a pedo? 9 years now?

        now they sell it and can only replace it with a hundai.

        Which is exactly what they should do, hopefully it puts a used one out to further prevent a (committed) buyer from getting a new one.
