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.

    No, that’s just rationalizing fucking with somebody’s stuff. Your personal anger is not a moral principle.

    As a regretful Tesla owner since 2017 that isn’t in a financial position to change for awhile…I do think cyber trucks are fair game.

    I understand if something happens to mine, and it would suck and likely cost me money, but as long as I can still get groceries or to work - I guess it is what it is.

    I’m just gonna be blunt. And I mean exactly what this sounds like.

    There is NOTHING negative you can do to a Nazi lover that could possibly be construed as immoral.

    Illegal, sure (in this current farce of government). But every dead Nazi is good for the world. Bar none, no exclusions. I wanna see Nazi corpses everywhere. I wanna see clips of them suffering before their deaths. Comeuppance is such a delicious beverage. The tears of the wicked can wash anything down.

    They can’t be reformed, and everything they do would be suspect for the rest of their lives. You can’t negotiate with them, either.

    I’m just gonna stop here. I probably got on at least 3 watch lists for this comment.

    I think people would be a surprised at how many companies are owned or run by despicable people. If you didn’t buy anything from any of them, your shopping habits would be incredibly constrained. The only difference between musk and the others is that he is louder.

      Plus that he is the richest man alive by far. Plus that he is promoting the far-right in Europe. Plus that he did a Nazi salute.

      It’s a really good point that I hardly ever see brought up. I was alluding to it with my other replies re: “what do you drive?”

      Alarming amount of vehicles on the road today literally exist due to the ww2 nazi regime and nobody cares because those rich people are smart and they don’t talk about it.

    Cybertrucks? Yeah. There’s a very specific kind of person that buys a cybertruck. They know who Elon is and what he stands for.

    Other Teslas? No. Many bought them before Elon turned out to be a nazi spawn.

    the hypersuck swasticar is a death machine that should not be allowed on the road to begin with (and isn’t in relatively sane countries). vandalism is getting off too easy imo. the appropriate response is to total the car but that’s not practical. or maybe you can just spray some water on it and it explodes or something idk

    Some people got teslas before they realized elon was nazi garbage. However, if you got a cybertruck, might be fair game.

    If you think you can stand up to fascism and perfectly respect property and act nice an moral all tge time you’re bloody useless.

    It’s not nice, but it will hurt Musks so it’s good thing. I won’t shed a tear for any one with Tesla money either.

    Writing on it in dirt or snow? Sure.

    With a sticker that can be easily removed? Sure.

    Anything else? Probably not.

      Yea i actually feel irrationally angry when i see one. They are the embodiment of everything wrong with western society in one single object
