    That’s the goal, though. If people start doing this, the value of used Teslas will crater. That will kill sales of new ones. Why buy a new one when you can get a used one dirt cheap? Why buy a new one if you know it will lose all of its value because the used market died?

      Unfortunately downward price will come against up the tariff inflation of new trucks and cars (estimated 20%+ increase by dealers) that will happen if Trump unchanges his fucking mind one more time.

      I still think annoying but not impossible the remove stickers are the solution. Do that enough times and anyone who hasn’t fallen into the sunk cost fallacy will either be looking to sell, or at least never buy another swasticar.
