Tesla Fans Are Celebrating the Growing Anti-Tesla Sentiment as More & More Tesla Owners Dump Their Teslas at a Huge Loss – One Tesla Buyer Says “I Can’t Wait to Score a Deal on a Cybertruck”
DennisCW is a tech YouTuber, Tesla owner, investor and all around a huge fan of the EV maker. So far Dennis has bought all of Tesla’s vehicles including the Cybertruck, Model S, 3, X, & Y.
However, Dennis points out that a recent conversation with a friend who works at a luxury car dealership has been enlightening about the increasing anti-Tesla and anti-Elon Musk sentiment even among Tesla owners.
According to the friend who works at a car dealership, Tesla owners, unhappy with Elon Musk, are getting rid of their cars in droves.
This might seem like a concerning development for a Tesla fan, however, Dennis and other Tesla loyalists are celebrating the news in the hopes that they will be able to snag a new Tesla at a discount.
Dennis shared his thoughts on this matter on X.
He writes…
“The Elon / Tesla hate is going to have some interesting market effects for Tesla sales.
My buddy works at a Luxury OEM Dealership, and he says he's appraised 13 Teslas in the last 2 weeks.
The exodus from Tesla is happening on some level.”
Like I said, as a huge Tesla fan, you might think this would be concerning for Dennis, however, he seems to be celebrating this development.
He continues to write…
“...so more deals? 🍿”
Below his post, Dennis included a screenshot of a conversation he had with his luxury car dealer friend.
The dealer friend writes…
“I appraised 13 Teslas in the last 2 weeks”
This alone doesn’t necessarily indicate a mass exodus away from the Tesla brand. However, thankfully, Dennis asks his friend how many Tesla trade-in offers he typically receives in a two-week span.
In response, his friend states that this represents an increase of over 600% in the number of Tesla owners trying to sell their vehicles to him.
The friend writes…
“Normally I get like 1-2 people trying to sell their Teslas every 2 weeks
It is insane how many I have seen in the same time span.”
The car dealer states that he has received so many Teslas that he no longer wants additional ones.
He writes…
“I don't even want them in my app anymore lol”
The dealer then continues to say that a customer came in wanting to trade a Model Y. He offered him $5,000 less than the market value for the vehicle, and the Tesla owner still sold his vehicle without batting an eye.
He continues to write..
“I just traded a 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range for $22,000, customers flipped $5,000 negative but didn't care.”
Tesla owners are so eager to get rid of their vehicles that they are willing to lose $5,000; that can’t be good for the company.

However, looking at the comments, Tesla loyaltists don’t seem fazed one bit by this development.
A Tesla owner Liam says…
“As a Tesla customer who cares about AFFORDABILITY for myself and others, I hope Elon never leaves politics then
Keep these discounts, incentives, and promos coming Tesla!
Cause people will tune out the noise and still buy. I'm also looking to get a 2nd Tesla soon.”
Another prospective Cybertruck buyer hopes people will keep selling their Teslas at a discount so he can get a good price on a used Cybertruck.
The person who goes by the X handle “Cult Buster” writes…
“I can’t wait to score a deal on a Cybertruck, part of me is secretly hoping more people get riled up about it!”
Overall, it’s interesting to see how Tesla fans are responding to other owners dumping their Teslas. However, please let me know what you think in the comments.
