Tesla Will Now Let You Finance Your EV Repairs... With Interest Rates as High as 36% APR - FuelArc News
fuelarc.com
Let’s say your Cybertruck pops a tire, or needs a new windshield, or you just looked at it funny and the glued-on stainless steel panels fell off. No worries! Tesla’s got you covered. You can now finance your repairs through Affirm or Klarna, because if there’s one thing America needs, it’s more high-interest debt attached […]

With Tesla, you can turn a $2,442 windshield installation into a $3,174 windshield installation through the power of interest.

This is being reported by the Teslasphere as an “excellent option” to restore affordability to a car market that desperately needs more affordability.

Only, neither of those numbers is even in the same ballpark as affordable.

    I could see battery packs and motors being financable at a sensible interest rate being a good thing for people who can’t afford such expenses out of pocket - it would make it possible for slightly less well off people to buy used EVs instead of used ICE cars.

    This though? Fuck everything about this.
