    Bruv…

    Are you under the impression for insurance for a manufacturer on their existing inventory is the same thing as a random person’s insurance on a personal vehicle?

    Edit:

    And the liability to insurance companies has existed for a long time…

    Tesla locks down their supply chains, there’s no option besides “manufacter parts” and Tesla sucks at making them.

    So a fender bender could be months to get fixed, and insurance may be on the hook for rentals for that period on top of higher than average repair costs, which leads to Teslas being marked “totaled” when others would be repaired …

    Like, I agree in spirit, but you just don’t understand what’s happening…

    But if you set a Tesla on fire at a Tesla lot…

    You just made Elon more money than if you bought it.

    That’s important for people to understand
