    My car is 8 years old and paid off. I’m sorry we didn’t have many options 8 years ago and we didn’t know who he was. I’m glad I have an EV now because gas is crazy and my electricity is $0.13/kWh vs $5.50 for gas, even though I barely drive it since I live in a city now and take public transit, but my wife uses it to drive to work. I am not going to buy another tesla if we ever need another car.

    But there’s no point in selling a car that we use at a loss right now. I don’t give him any money besides long distance trips with the superchargers, but every new EV uses the Tesla super chargers now.

        Um where have you been? With chip shortage and supply chain issues the dealers were phoning people up and offering more than they paid to get cars back.

        A friend drove a van for 2 years and dealer bought it back over new price. . Used cars have been crazy prices too. A car you’d have paid $1800 for 6 years ago is now $6000 even with six years more
