    It’s about helping someone get out of owning one

    You realize that if someone sells their Tesla, while they no longer own one, someone else does, right?

    The point is crashing the market value of used Teslas, thereby reducing new sales as people will be more incentivized to buy used.

      Sure, but the person selling doesn’t want it anymore and gets their money back. While at the same time; the person buying would have bought one anyway, potentially a brand new one. By selling your tesla to another driver, you’re bailing yourself out of a shit decision and taking one less buyer off the market further disrupting the companies income.

      Every tesla bought off the used market is one less tesla purchased new, and Tesla the company only makes money off of new sales.
