       | There's no need to be frustrated. Just accept the reality of the
       | situation: Elon lied to you.
       | 
       | Elon will always lie to you. It is simply his nature.

         | Shit like this only comes from Naivete region of France, you
         | know.

       | value of the car. It's exactly what you (and everyone else)
       | predicted - FSD does not turn your car into an appreciating asset
       | and it never will.

         | support for that thesis.
