Summary

Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s leadership.

NPR is under political scrutiny, with Republican lawmakers and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr launching investigations.

Crow’s move is a protest against Musk’s influence in government and Trump’s efforts to defund public media.

More Tesla owners need to follow suit. Get rid of those Swasticars.

    So i should sell mine with a loss (still have a loan on it), and if I want a car with the same distance, I'll have to take out another loan? No, thank you. I'll stick with my FUCK ELON MUSK sticker I got made.

    Sooo question. Can you leverage your car as a trade in? Or is it not worth it because you still have a loan? I’m no longer looking for a car, but there was a time where you could basically get out for about the same price you got in for

    You absolutely can. It's whether your upside down on the loan or not if it's worth it to trade in.

    I'm in a position to trade in my current vehicle for more than I bought it for, but I can't get anything similar to it for a decent price to make it worthwhile to me.

    Great question, I've which I cannot answer, as I honestly haven't thought about that. However, the demand of Tesla's are decreasing really fast here in Denmark, so I'm not sure if I could get a good deal. However, I will check it out next week! Thank you 🙂

    Definitely look into it, you never know what you might be able to get for it. I worked with a girl in high school many years ago who somehow managed to trade in 3 cars in a row for more than she paid for them. She managed to pay off the loan on each one and get a better car out of the deal than the one she traded in, and it still shocks me enough that I still remember it to this day.

    Why though? Is the buffoon going to magically lose money when you sell your car?

    This won’t hurt his billionaire ass at all, just the poor schmuck that owns the car

    And delete xitter. Might want to think about getting off Instagram, too. Cuckerberg is no better.

    I don't know her, but good for her. NPR is a valuable resource, but we should also do better in demanding their reporting quality to improve. They've been doing a lot of sanewashing, too.

    Who would buy a Tesla now, especially a used one.

    For the MAGA heads who still like Musk, a Tesla does not roll coal enough. For those who would buy an EV, Tesla is a burned brand.

    This binary view is neat and tidy but wrong. There are a lot of enthusiasts for whom a Tesla is still a desirable car both for capabilities as well as status. I would not be surprised to see its sales keep dropping, but reports of its death are all gonna be premature.

    As far as a used Tesla, once we agree that a market for Teslas still exists, then that's all dependent on the price.

    I used to want a Tesla so bad. Now it just doesn’t seem right.

    Sold my Tesla and don’t miss it at all. I can’t imagine still driving it now. Just wish I never purchased it in the first place but I honestly didn’t know what I was supporting at the time.

    It’s sad because there are a lot of good people who work at Tesla. Elon is going to end up putting them all out of work at this rate.

    Kudos to Cheryl and I know several other Tesla that want to trade-in their cars because of Leon Hitler.

    domestically you can get a base 2025 chevy ev blazer for around $27k while the ev rebate lasts. 300+ mile range with decent fast charging. I was really looking forward to getting one in the next 2-3 years but then dondi mcshytegibbon got elected and is killing not just the ev tax credit but the grant money to build out a dc fast charging infrastructure too. I might have to look at the plugin hybrid market instead when I really want to go fully electric.

    She did a duet with Kid Rock. I am cautiously optimistic. Is she actually not a right winger anymore or is she just tired of cleaning rotten eggs off her car?

    It is not about aligning yourself with anything, it is about doing the right thing for the right reasons for the benefit of our community and neighbors. Personally I wish she'd dismantle and sell it for scrap and donate those proceeds.
