Buy an inexpensive Tesla? Now I’m stuck with a $9K repair bill.

Since its AWD is there a way to make it run on the front motor only?

I was also thinking of the irony of having a dual-powertrain car that's undriveable because one doesn't work.

Oooh, a 5,500lb, 250hp fwd sedan...

I also feel that regardless of one's opinion of the CEO's politics, a purchase like a car should be made on its own merits.

 

How do we feel about Porsches, Volkswagens, and Fords, for example...

 

It sounds like the decision is already made, but the pricing isn't out of line with a "power unit" repair on any other luxury car.  They wanted 21k to do an engine on mine, so you're getting out cheap!

Are the CEOs actively participating in politics on the same level?  If not, not sure how you compare em.

Also. Its a used vehicle.  You aren't providing money to the company at that point.

Are you aware of Mr. Henry Ford's history?

This sounds terrible but it's how Rivian pickups operate most of the time on the street.

There's a printer toner joke in here.
