I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.
I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.
I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.
But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.
Well. I bought mine 2 years ago, and am currently trying to get something else in its place. But I need to take my kids to daycare and myself to work every day so I cannot just like dump it. So you might be vandalizing somebody who thought it was a good idea to replace a petrol car with an EV and Tesla was simply the best quality/cost solution at the time and the amount of politics involved were pretty minimal.
You might turn somebody who was mildly sympathetic to your ideas farther away from you. Definitely not going to make new allies in that way.
Cybertrucks however, fuck those things and everybody who bought them. Molotov cocktail them for all I care.
This is exactly the first thing that comes to mind. There’s surely a large number of average people, who don’t care or have any interest in what Elon has been doing, or anything else…
People who can’t readily afford to just throw away a vehicle because the owner of the company is a shithead.
But yeah. Fuck cyber trucks. Never liked those eyesores anyways
Depending on the state you might want to give cybertrucks wide room. They are neigh uninsurable in some states.
…And the owner just took a 50-75k loss.
Which many could not afford to do
Is that true? Wouldn’t it be illegal to drive without insurance? I just googled it and I’m not seeing anything about cybertrucks not being insurable. I hate Elon anf those trucks but I just want to confirm something is true before I propagate it. Do you have a link?
