    My brother their stock only recently started dropping due to hard boycots and vandalism, they’ve had value for years. This was not recent. What dealership refused a Tesla trade in?

      Even if you trade in, you aren’t leaving with a different car without a higher monthly payment unless you take a major downgrade in automobile. A lot of people can’t afford a higher payment right now.

        I’ve only ever traded in a vehicle I’ve fully paid off and the money that would have been handed to me for that trade goes towards the down payment of the new vehicle.

        Assuming the vehicle was bought prior to people being aware Musk was Trump aligned (about when he bought Twitter), most vehicles would be mostly paid off if not fully.

        I have to reiterate though that if someone can’t afford a vehicle due to a change in circumstances, trading it in for a cheaper vehicle is a pretty common sense decision. You aren’t paying off a vehicle that’s no longer in your possession.
