But it's a POS plastic tub engineered by the rejects from Rubbermaid, screwed together by a crew of Cleetus's that are too white trash for airboat land.

Makes zero sense. This would be way more awesome for the price.

:notsure: if good :dill: or not, surprisingly the used market for Teslas is pretty much non-existant. Considering how many were sold, it is quite troubling.

They're still too new. I suspect most people are still too in love with saving the world by driving their Muskmobiles to off them.

There's so many out there, the used market will probably develop within the next year or 2.

Oh, I thought we were talking about Model 3 in particular. Model S used market is well developed.

Yep model 3 only. Model S is pretty pricy used... like 50% of MSRP even after 4-5 years and 50k+ miles, which is completely different from all other electrics.

I like what I like? Only Miata that really interests me is a ND2, so ~$30k for a base Club.
That's not acceptable on this forum, brah. Have you learned nothing?

Maybe he doesn’t want something that slow? The Honda is slow enough as it is. The good thing about a miata is once you stuff it into a wall backwards you can pick up another for 2 grand, swap parts, rinse, and repeat.
