I bought a $5500 Chevy Volt with 105k miles in peak COVID 2020.

It now has 225k miles and I haven't done a single thing to it but change the oil.

It's still on the original factory brake pads and rotors, which look to be about 50% on the pads.

Used Chevy Bolt or a used VW ID.4. Both excellent cars that can be found for under $25k; I drive the latter myself.

New, the Chevy Bolt and the Nissan Leaf both start under $30k.

Just go hide in your fucking house I guess, if everything to the right of Bernie is fascist

The good news is you can still buy a Model 3, since fascism is a dead ideology that is in no shape to rise again anytime soon. The reason it is still being used is as a prop by deluded boomers to make them feel good about themselves for being groovy anti-authoritarians, and simpletons with no understanding of politics, history or even the last 24 hours.

  • It's on the rise right now, just under different names. Ironically it's the supposedly freedom loving tech bro libertarians who tend to go down the neoreactionary/fascist pipeline after they "give up" on democracy. They just don't like being labeled as fascists. Since you're on HN and willfully blind to what's going on, I think it's safe to assume that if you voted in 2024, then you voted F. Yes?

Buying a used tesla (from, e.g., a Ford dealer) does not support the fascist part…f

Truly I dislike the guy and everything he did in government but I don’t think that buying a used Tesla is any endorsement or direct benefit to Elon.

Slap an “I bought this used” bumper sticker on it and your fellow anti-fascists should leave you alone.

  • Buying a used Tesla contributes to increased resale value, which makes new ones a more attractive purchase, driving sales, and supporting the owner.
