Matters may be difficult for Tesla, but at least he has a new user – President Donald Trump, who said Tuesday that he would buy Tesla in support of CEO Elon Musk.
Far from the White House, some long -time Tesla owners had enough.
Business internal talked to four people who recently sold their vehicles in response to Musk’s work, which benefited the federal government from the Dodge.
This has emerged as a reaction against Tesla Mounts, showrooms and vehicles have become goals for protest.
“I sold my Tesla because I learned that it no longer reflects my values,” Scott and Oen told the business insider, a real estate developer living near Boston. I see it running. “
Orin said he was initially attracted to his 2018 Model 3 due to the company’s environmental credentials and promises to cope with the climate crisis “constructively”.
Despite its model 3, despite being a “very good car”, Musk’s job was very high for Orion with the official vacation with the Dodge.
“I saw his work on the sale and the dodge as a protest against Elon Musk,” he said. Kasturi was not elected. He is embracing our US government. “
“He is illegally dismissing federal workers. He is illegally eliminating federal agencies. He is spreading the ideas of conspiracy, and he is empowering extremists. In short, he is a sow of chaos and confusion.
Although the majority of car buyers put more pressure through price and performance than politics, Tesla and other EV brands have traditionally appealed to customers who care for the environment-the possibility of objection to the new interest of the Musk in remote politics.
The other former Tesla owner, who did not want to nominate to avoid a possible retaliation, said: “The thing that attracted me the most was trying to get away from the fuel.”
Although its 2021 Model 3 performance variations had problems including battery and computer problems, he said that his performance had “flown”.
The former owner described the controversial indicator of the controversial indicator at the inaugural rally of Trump as “a camel’s back -breaking straw”, which forced him to trade at the price of 000 22,000 in Tesla later last month.
“Every tweet he has written, he has added more nails to my mind,” he said.
To protest and harass
Since the capacity and widespread public holidays are increasing by the Dodge, Tesla has tolerated rapidly publicly.
High -profile owners, including singer Shrill Crow Crowe, sold their cars in response to Musk’s actions, and a nationwide protest movement, “Tesla Techdown”, has protested in Tesla’s showrooms across the country.

For some of Tesla’s owners, the decision to sell for harassment has been participated.
The former model 3 performance owner said, “I have examples where drivers will brake me or rolling road blocks, and I have turned some people for no reason.”
“This made my decision most clear – I have a newborn baby and even though I know that I can stay defensive in my driving, I don’t have to rest to keep my son in the car and deal with harassment.”
Orin said he had not experienced any reaction, but he saw Tesla’s drivers in the Boston dealership while temporarily participating in a peaceful protest in Tesla. “I imagined myself living in this situation, and I just didn’t want to do so.”
Rivals look
Tesla’s finished luck benefits its EV rivals.
Two former owners who spoke to the BI said they had changed their tesla for the pool star. In recent weeks, the Swedish EV brand has been aggressively targeting Tesla users.
The third former owner, who had a model Wi, said he initially had doubts about rival vehicles, but was won by Pool Star 3. “The quality of construction is terrific, it runs better than Tesla and the interior feels like a real car and not a cheap toy.”
Orin, who sold his Tesla for about $, 000 18,000 and now runs a Hyundai Ionic 5 EV, said: “Although Tesla has built a market for electric vehicles, there are many good alternatives.”

The owners of Tesla who decide to sell will be used by the used car market with pre -owned models 3s and YS, in recent years the prices of regeneration values ​​will increase.
The fourth former owner, whose model 3 was, said the decision to sell it was partially affected by the fear that regeneration values ​​could be reduced due to Musk’s behavior.
“I was not so angry to sell the car with their political behavior, but I didn’t want the price of my car linked to its political behavior,” said the owner, who traded in his 2018 Model 3 for about $ 17,000.
“Elon Musk is getting very pleasant for its behavior around the government, but it is not necessary that his behavior can be much worse than that … then who is going to buy his car?” The person, who is now the owner of Genius EV, added.
Tesla did not respond to a comment.
