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.

    Writing something in dirt is one thing but spray painting, scraping, or damaging something is a dick move.

    Yes, they bought a stupid vehicle from a company run by a controversial person, but that doesn’t mean you can be a terrible person and damage their property as if they have anything to do with Elon.

    You want to go after Elon by proxy? Vote, write your government officials, protest, and continue to not by his products.

      controversial person

      way to minimise a fucking Nazi. I’m sure hitler was called a “controversial person” in the 1930s too.

      I’d argue that giving money to a Nazi is the actual dick move. people reminding you that you’re driving a swasticar is actually doing you a solid

      Even writing in the dirt on a new car can fuck up the clear coat.

        You are correct, but a cyber truck is raw stainless and can’t meaningfully be damaged by wiping dirt on it.
