The problem is, I never liked Elon, but he literally wasn't this bad in 2018 when I got my Tesla. If you sell it, he still keeps the profits, it's not like you can return it! (My car was salvage anyway, so Tesla didn't directly profit) There is something to be said that if a large percentage of Tesla owners sold their cars, it would massively drive down values. This of course means that if you sell, especially after the "rush", you stand to lose a lot of money!
I'm going to choose to keep the car, but make my feelings known, so I'm actually "anti advertising".
