What if everyone would transfer their PayPal credit to a regular bank account on the same day? Would that bring Paypal value down?

hard to estimate, but probably not. I think what makes such companies go down is when the investors fear their money might be lost. that is, when the company is not worth much compared to their invested money.

So only, when the user count is dropping, that would be the case for paypal.

That would be good for the EV conversion market. Since they use a lot of Tesla motors and battery packs.

While it's nice to protest outside of the Tesla dealership, people should be protesting outside of US embassies, and while they are at it, protest outside of the Chinese and Russian embassies too. Block them in.

People are doing. But embassies tend to be in capital cities but Tesla dealerships are everywhere.

Hell yeah, I’ve been wanting a model 3 for years. Glad politics will bring that dream to a reality 😀 lets go electric vehicles!!! One less gas guzzler on the road.

I know this the unpopular opinion at the moment, but what electric sedan is better than a model 3? The rest of the producers have all decided we want to drive crossovers or boxes and simply cannot figure out how to make a frunk.

The first few times sitting in or driving a tesla was cool and novel. But after you have used the fart simulator app a few times, and let your sister in law post a few pictures. It's just a car that takes a lot of space in small parking spots.

It is low quality, breaks often, expensive to repair, barely fits parking spots, expensive to buy, has paid for addons that have been coming soon the last 10 years

There is a lot of other electric vehicles I'd rather have

Lots of choice in Europe

Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.
