The people buying teslas, generally, weren’t people living paycheck to paycheck.
I made this point to a friend who worked in tech and had a Tesla like 8 years ago.
“You know that for people like me, I won’t be able to afford a used electric vehicle until I’m 60 or more right? I’m 40 and still driving a 25 year old car. The planet can’t really afford to wait for prices to come down for people like me to be able to afford them. It’s not really saving the environment if the majority of people can’t afford to jump in.”
Tbf driving old cars until the end of their lifetime is also an environmentally friendly choice, since there are quite large emissions associated with producing a car.

The best car for the planet is the one you have.
Fuck cars! Demand public transit.
