    Before anyone asks, the chart in the article demonstrates that used Kia prices have fallen 6.7%. Tesla is at the top of the chart with 28.9%.

    You have to wonder how much of the fall in resale value is because of Elon’s antics tarnishing the brand.

      Pretty terrible considering the ongoing Kia theft scandal. Four times worse than a car you can steal with a USB cable

        There’s a free repair now that stops the method from working, but it won’t stop dumb kids/criminals from breaking your window and trying anyway.

      I know I went from wishing I had a Tesla to knowing I’d be on the fence about it if offered one for free today.

        Don’t be on the fence, silly, that’s an opportunity!

        Quickly fix all the tiny little issues that you could easily fix (misaligned glue, not fully screwed in shit, etc.) and then sell it to a Musker as a model personally sent to you from him to prove the cars don’t have build quality issues (make a fake tweet DM from him or some shit, he’d totally do something like it) and sell it for a 30% markup

        Then get yourself an actually decent car with the money
