not Cybertrucks though. We should focus on Cybertrucks.
I don't care about a manhunt for tesla owners, specifically.
All rich people can get fucked though. Millionaires and billionaires. They need to be working overtime to fix the problems they caused. Otherwise, they're enemies and deserve to be treated as such.
i hope your not that naive, the point is to send a message, and TESLA is clearly suffering from the falling sales and the continuing boycotting and vandalism is working. Also the fact that teslas in general have defect issues anyways.
The share price is down 50% YTD
The interesting thing is that just talking about damage done to Teslas can harm the share price even further.
You talk about people getting hurt. I hope only the car is being damaged.
The only people who work for DOGE are named, not Tesla owners.
Journalism is unreliable in the 21st century. You have to go to primary sources

So, show me a doxxed Tesla owner.
I'm doxxing no-one.

But, they are!
Insurance premiums going up for Teslas make it more likely people will skip buying them.
Except they are.
Any cases of people being hurt yet? Or are you just making shit up?
I've never seen a Tesla at a used lot. Before this weekend, when I saw two
Unfortunately due to how insurance works, damaging Teslas is yet another way to raise premiums.
Also, this isn't about joining a cause anymore. This is about the only method of retaliation left. I assume most who could afford a Tesla (which was always on the higher priced side of things) are also those who could have by now afforded to do a trade in for basically any other car for months by now.
If I myself somehow still had a Tesla, I'd get rid of it for a used car if I had to. If I could afford it though, I'd pay for a punk band to create a song against Elon and Trump, and shoot a music video of said punk band and friends destroying the Tesla in slow mo and lighting it on fire, ending it with the car blowing up.
Actually, how about you find poor people who own a Tesla and reach out to them. I'll crowdfund for them so we can make this music video happen, and the proceeds will go for them to buy a new car. Find me more than one and I can do different music videos - maybe dubstep or electronica while this guy shoots his plasma cannon at it. Or Classical music or an orchestra as we destroy a car with icicles and rust for example.
I'm sorry, do you genuinely think that burning some random guy's car is actual retaliation?
You really underestimate how many people buy above their means for cars.
When that car has become a symbol, definitely. The car being burnt isn't random after all.
Otherwise your statement has the same energy as saying we shouldn't burn some random guy's work uniform. It omits that this is the uniform:
As far as I've seen, most Teslas being scorched are dealership ones, not personal ones. But even if it were a personal one, isn't insurance mandatory in the USA? Probably would get a bigger payout if someone did torch it rather than trading in at a dealership. And would definitely probably get more out of it than if it were just keyed and the tires were punctured. Bonus, one less swatsicar in circulation.
It is some random man's car still. I didn't say it was a random car. And likely someone who hates trump too, since they're driving electric
Thw car wasn't a symbol when they bought it
One less electric car. You want to actively destroy the environment to own the conservatives. Not passively. Actively.
Also no, coverage for your own car is not mandatory, what?
Yeah, it is completely shocking to everyone outside the US that auto insurance isn’t mandatory.
I mean. Pretty sure all states require damage coverage. Just not coverage for your own car
Musk called a guy a pedo because he was angry they didn't use his solution to save kids that would have died if they had waited for him. That was in 2018. Wanna bet most Tesla on the road were sold after that happened?
Musk was shit way before the current events, people still supported him financially.
It's expensive to ship anything to my state (alaska) so amazon is pretty much the only choice.
I mean... No, Amazon shouldn't exist? What's the point you're trying to make here?
I'm just pointing out that there's a shit ton of people that just decided to ignore the fact that Musk is a moron that has no business managing a multinational company and none of them deserve compassion now that they suddenly realize that maybe they shouldn't have bought a car from him.
It's working tho. Have you seen how butthurt Elon and Donald are? Tesla stocks going down?
