In the past half a decade, Tesla’s competitive advantage has narrowed from a seemingly uncrossable chasm to a sliver at best

Aaron Carroll : Tesla 's competitive advantage has narrowed from a seemingly uncrossable chasm to a sliver at best.

Carroll: Despite stellar crash-test ratings, Teslas are involved in fatal accidents more often than any other brand, at a rate nearly twice the average.

He says Tesla 's safety history has been linked to crashes involving 54 injuries and 14 deaths, according to one investigation.

Carroll says there's a strong case to sell one you own right now.

The main reason to sell now is that Teslas are shedding value at obscene rates and are likely to skyrocket in operating costs.

Edmunds found that buyers searching for new cars are also, increasingly, walking away from Teslas .

Despite right-wing buyers, Tesla and EV owners skew more Democratic and progressive than drivers of any other brand.

Victoria Scott : You can stop supporting the world's richest man and his quest to remake the government in his own image.

She says it's likely that if you trade in a Tesla today , you’ll take a haircut, but it’s fairly likely to get worse as the months wear on.

Scott: A third of his $300 billion in net worth is directly from Tesla stock.
