Just checking...I looked at Craigslist tonight for Tesla 10 years old or older, they're still pretty pricey.
A Tesla Semi Truck shut down a California highway! It has been burning for days giving off toxic fumes. They cannot extinguish it. The road is closed until it burns itself out! Toxic fumes are so much better for the enviroment than exhaust!

NTSB investigating Tesla Semi crash, fire that shut down I-80 for hours in Placer County
Drivers were being kept off the interstate for at least half a mile in both directions because the Tesla electric vehicle's battery was on fire and the toxic fumes were dangerous.

Check up to see if it gets sold.

Nah, there are a couple dozen, averaging around $18,000. I'm not going to follow them all. Some of them include the "free charging for life" option as well. Far more expensive, at any rate, than the page of similar aged Chrysler 300s for sale.
Who pays for that ultimately?
Saw a Subaru EV sitting on the lot with the words $19,000 below sticker. Still no takers!

Wow, that's a drop. The only Subaru EV I can think of is the Solterra (actually made by Toyota), which begins at over $45,000.
It looks like a Rav 4.

guessing you live in an area where power comes from Hoover Dam rather than a "fossil fuel" fired plant , so maybe their use out there could be considered a bit more "eco friendly''You'd be really surprised at how many of those things are on the road here in Nevada. Tesla has a large production presence here and in Reno a huge repair facility for body and everything else on those. It is wall-to-wall of those Teslas either brand new or used going through something or another. Hell... my weekly grocery trip...20 miles one way so 40 miles round trip...I usually can count the sightings of them from anywhere from 20 to 50 plus on the road in either direction. Not to mention the Rivians, and Generic Mortors EVs along with the Ford Lightening 150. Nevada has embraced the EV revolution but not me!!! Hot August Nights is now in full swing and there most likely ain't a single damn EV showing up. With all these EVs here, I have yet to see a charging facility either. Guess the owners are using their homes for that...cr8crshr/Bill
50 trucks just burst into flames at the Rivian plant, nothing to see here!

Here's the story ....
www.cbtnews.com
The fire, which affected 57 vehicles parked near the factory’s industrial train rails, is currently under investigation to determine its cause. The damaged vehicles included only R1S and R1T models, with no other cars involved.
I'll take a wild guess and say it was the battery.
This incident follows a fire last month in which three Rivian Amazon Electric Delivery Vans (EDVs) ignited at an Amazon fulfillment center in Houston, Texas. Rivian confirmed that the Houston fire was unrelated to the high-voltage battery.
Fire damages over 50 Rivian EVs awaiting shipment at Illinois factory
A fire late Saturday night damaged more than 50 R1S and R1T models in the parking lot of Rivian’s EV factory in Normal, Illinois.

Would you rather go to a cars and coffee event to see cookie-cutter electric cars, or 50-60 year old cars that the owner completely restored or customized with their own creativity and hard work?

Or they will say it was due to assembly or operator error.......Here's the story ....

So I'm not the only one who thinks Teslas have duckface!
