    Well VW is still around. Maybe Teslas will be classic cars in 80 years.

    /s: They will all self immolate.

      VWs never randomly caught fire. And also they don’t look like if Transformers could somehow breed, but had an abortion.

        This.

        And VWs were survivors, crossing the desert under air cooling and repairable usually with a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. The rear bumper can hold a grown man perched back there manually pulling the throttle if you bust the linkage … or, so I … hear.

        I worry Teslas wouldn’t survive long enough to become classics. They don’t seem to be survivors.

      I checked on where Edsel prices have gone. They mostly match inflation. Not a worthwhile investment as a car that people are interested in decades later because it’s an infamous failure.
