infernal machines posted:the good news is their parts are mostly made by everyone else. and tesla owners are gullible shits with tons of money, so there should be a healthy aftermarket trade i don't think you can count on that as i just pointed out, there are only 300k total vehicles out there, across all models. making/selling parts and service is not going to be very lucrative think like, finding parts for your american-market citroen SM

i will honestly be surprised if tesla doesnt still exist as a company even if they have to go through some restructuring and shed some debt or something, they still have the plant and the intellectual property and the ability to make cars. might be a brand of another company or something in the worst case, imo

Nobody's going to buy one for a million dollars in 2050 because they remember having sex in them for their first time, they aren't museum pieces, they aren't winning races, in fact you can't race them, and anything revolutionary they're doing is probably going to be mainstream in a decade (anything to do with the batteries, motors, dumbass center console screen). to bring it back to tech it's like any of the macs from the late 90s to now that nobody gives a poo poo about once the new model is out.

they will be restored and the ones that are in good shape from known periods of 'successful' manufacture will fetch a high premium until the end of time. also the musk mother and the ex-wife look strikingly similar aaooogah aaooogah

Munkeymon posted:less than 10k deloreans were ever built but you can still get aftermarket parts for them delorean parts quite often involve the many many off the shelf or almost so parts used in original production, and also just plain replacements from other vehicles that you put in cuz it makes the car perform better than stock anyway. a lot of tesla's bullshit is going to be harder to replace in that sort of way.

President Beep posted:please be no please be no please be no... the guy who got murked by twitter said there was a special order version that shipped without internet connectivity, so presumably it's something that is supported by the firmware that said, there's no telling how cars that didn't ship like that will behave if the backend goes dark for long enough. also dumb poo poo like internal certificates expiring in a way that prevents them from ever connecting again, which might only be mitigated by tesla's absolute disregard for security, if they've set internal poo poo to ignore invalid certs

not sure how an ev can become a “collectible” or even supported for very long post-collapse . gotta figure those Tesla batteries have a finite shelf life and require some special handling to replace/refurbish.

Owners will just 3D print parts if they need them. Normally that would be a laughable idea but 3D printed plastic parts would probably have better strength and better dimensional tolerances than the originals Tesla uses and would likely more durable even if you were to use that filament that dissolves in water.
