    OP: Who would

    That’s a question, not a binary view. You’ve made a strawman attack, intended or not.

    For the MAGA heads who still like Musk, a Tesla does not roll coal enough. For those who would buy an EV, Tesla is a burned brand.

    You’re reframing a generalized one to many statement as a literal one to all statement. OP isn’t attempting to claim that no one would possibly buy a Tesla, But that the primary sources of ownership in the market are both equally uninterested in purchasing.

    There are obviously still people taking ownership of Cybertrucks even now.

    As far as a used Tesla, once we agree that a market for Teslas still exists, then that’s all dependent on the price.

    Moving those goal posts on out there are we? You made a straw man that OP said 0 market, and now you’re 'proving that argument you made wrong, and are going to slide out the argument you made yourself that there is a market therefore you’re right.

    then that’s all dependent on the price.

    What happens when the market for a given price fails to match the cost to produce something?

    The only thing that will save the company in the medium term would be for him to divest from it and leave it alone, or funnel tax money from government contracts to keep it floating.

    They are the most undesirable manufacturer in the US by a long shot right now.
