Trading in a Tesla? There's a new TikTok trend for that. People are posting before-and-after videos of their Tesla trade-ins accompanied by the hashtag "ByeTesla" and Taylor Swift's 2017 hit, "Look What You Made Me Do."
Rivian seems to be a popular choice among some of the EV switchers. Several of the videos show Tesla owners opting for a vehicle from the California-based EV maker, such as the Rivian R1S, which starts at around $75,900.
