Because people can't get rid of them. Many would dump it if they could, but Tesla won't even take them in trade, and nobody will buy one used. So they have no choice but to drive it until the market changes somehow.

There will come a time when they'll be cheap enough to drive ironically, probably with flowers and peace signs painted on it.

If Breaking Bad came on the air now, Walter White would be driving the SwastitruKKK instead of the Aztek, which was the ugliest vehicle of all time, at the time.

I always figured there was an untold backstory of WW getting that Aztek, in which he goes into the dealership, and they instantly pegged him as malleable, so they pressured him into the fugliest vehicle on the lot, that NOBODY else would even look at. But he was too weak to resist the sales pitch, so he drove home in the horrible Aztek.

What are you talking about? Tesla has been on a steady downward slide ever since Musk started getting froggy. Things don't happen overnight, y'know? It takes time, and none of the time between then and now has been good for Tesla, and it ain't gonna get good. Tesla is a dead man walking.

I predicted this after his reputation fully tanked when he went full MAGA/ DOGE. Every earnings report is going to depress the stock price more and more, until the floor just falls out, and it collapses.

Tesla is NEVER coming back. It will be bankrupt in 3 years.

That Jon's Bones is the real deal. My cursory perusal found human skulls going from about $2000 up to about $6000. A human vertebra is $52.

Every separate violation should be a billion dollar fine, to go in the America First Fund, which will provide the seed money for social programs like Medicare 4 All, Free college/trade school, student loan forgiveness, etc.

That's also where we should put the fortunes we confiscate from Sociopathic Oligarchs, as well returned tariffs, corporate fines, etc. Don't just stick it in the general fund where it will be wasted on weapons of mass destruction.

He didn't call anything "beautiful."

For as long as there has been humankind, we have gazed up at the night sky, for comfort, for romance, for meditation, for curiosity, etc. It has been a core human experience, evolutionarily hard-wired into our humanity and psyche.

Now these Sociopathic Ferengi are going to steal that experience from every future human being, for profit.

Studies show that not only did the justifiably executed Corporate Serial Killer's health care company ease up on their denials, so did all the OTHER health care companies. I've read numerous reports by people who were struggling to get serious care for years, who were suddenly approved after justice was served.

Eventually, they went back to business as normal. That only demonstrates that we have to randomly execute a CEO every few months, just to keep them in line.
