Not defending them, but if I can’t afford a tank of gas I likely can’t afford a whole new car. Hell I can afford a tank of gas and I still can’t afford a new car.
For a while, with state and federal rebates, new EVs were ridiculously cheap but a lot of people didn’t realize it. My brother leased a Nissan Leaf for my niece for $100 a month. I realize leasing isn’t for everyone, but $100 a month for a car for a teenager is pretty damn reasonable until she can afford to buy something for herself.
Dude 25k is an insane amount of money for a car and is simply not an option for most people also then you would have to be driving not only a Tesla but a Tesla with an old ass battery

They’re insanely cheap RIGHT NOW. lol
You can get a used 2018-2020 Tesla (or any other brand) for $25k and then $4k back through a tax credit.
That’s not cheap to me, that’s a normal price for a new car. My current car cost thousands less than that and is still great.
Sure, but normal new car prices are ridiculous right now.
Apparently the average is 48K! https://www.moneygeek.com/insurance/auto/average-price-of-a-new-car/
Yikes, a new subcompact is 23K on average.
But then you’d have to buy a Tesla.
Which is awesome 😎.
Ceo sucks but he bought a business that makes great cars (once you make sure yours doesn’t have the notorious panel gaps).
Tesla is the worst electric car because it supports Elon Musk
A used tesla doesnt
The stink is hard to wash out.
Most teslas i see are still 30-40k and there really aren’t any other brands besides compliance cars at that age.
I think this comment is “insanely” braindead
Really I thought these were all expired… But if not we may end up going for it this year

Median new car price is $46k, so $21k after tax credit for a used car is very doable for many.
I don’t know where your from but I don’t know many people buying a new car
There are 17 million new cars sold in the US every year. Somebody is buying them.

Yeah not a lot of second hand ev’s out there to buy.
Lots of them on Autotrader when I looked a week ago.
The problem is, they still want $40k for a used EV.
Damn did not know that, still expensive for sure.
And then you need to consider how much battery capacity is left, pretty sure that’s a really big cost to replace?
Unless you are buying one with over 200k miles (still likely 90% there), capacity is out something you have to worry too much about.
