      I know jailbreak refers more to rooting Apple phones but I think it’s a better term than root as it points out you’re not in control of your own hardware. You “break out of jail” to gain (software) freedom.

          During COVID and in the immediate years after their production started used Teslaa held value well. Now, they’re values are dropping off a cliff. They’re depreciating on par with used luxury vehicles. I suspect that as people continue to have battery failures as their fleet ages, their prices will drop even more sharply. Be careful buying a used EV.

          From what I have noticed possibly. However there is awareness being raised that you could buy used and shortly after get hit with a 20k battery repair bill.

          They’re not at all designed to be sold used IMO. Rather they are designed to be recycled and resold through Tesla.
