Jeep owners wave to each other, but Tesla owners don't. I vote to change that. Let's bring that same sense of community and camaraderie to Tesla owners. There was a time when seeing a Tesla on the road meant something. You’d do a double-take.

It was supposed to be the future.

The used car lot has always been the dingy backstage, a place of cigar smoke, suspect odometers, and “as-is” warranties that mean you're one pothole away from financial ruin. But in typical Tesla fashion, Elon Musk’s empire has taken that backstage and remodeled it into a sterile Silicon Valley showroom, complete with automated pricing algorithms, direct-to-consumer sales, and a resale strategy so tightly controlled it would make Henry Ford blush. What’s truly wild?

This EV owner is making an emergency exit. Find out why harassment is forcing them out of their Model 3 and into the Ioniq 6. It’s a weird time to be a Tesla owner.
