We bought the car to save money on gas due to regular work trips since my wife’s car also had a good trade in value. It was and remains largely a financial and pragmatic decision. The car was purchased in 2022 and the political situation was different from now.

If we were in the same situation last year or this year, we likely wouldn’t have purchased a Tesla as other solid options are now available. We get a lot of utility out of the car and it is now paid off. Again, back to finances and pragmatism, not ideology. If current issues lead to insurance rates going up to an unacceptable amount, we will strongly consider selling the Tesla and acquiring another EV.

Peace.

On a human level and as an owner of a 2021 Tesla Model 3 that was purchased second hand to in part not give Musk anymore money, I feel for the innocent people who are being harassed or prejudiced by others who are not acting in a kind or compassionate way. As the article states, vandalism and violent acts undermine more effective peaceful protests and boycotts. Damaging the cars on Tesla lots will just put more money (from insurance) in Tesla’s coffers. Please people, don’t take out your rage against innocent people to make some point. There are more effective and humane ways to do that. Choose peace.

R2 could be the car that replaces our reliable, albeit old, 2002 Honda CR-V. May be swapping a gold CRV-PO for a white R2-D2 in 2026.

Good guess. Regardless, I’m eyeing whatever this car may be along with Honda’s first concept 0 suv as a replacement for a 2002 CR-V with just over 200,000 miles.
