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.
It’s not defacing to clean someone’s car, even partially.
de·face /dəˈfās/ verb gerund or present participle: defacing spoil the surface or appearance of (something), for example by drawing or writing on it.
I dunno this isn’t really what I wanted the thread to be about.
Do you think that removing the dust spoils the appearance?
I don’t know what you expected the thread to be about when you gave an example of “wiping dust off a car” and treated it the same as “scraping the paint off with a box cutter”. You picked an example that just begs for quibbling over severity.
I intentionally chose an example that would lead to fence sitting. Some people’s vehicles are getting literally destroyed lol
Then you should have chosen a picture where the truck is actually defaced/vandalized with spray paint or the like, not some ambiguous dust tracing, that you have to spend time insisting is defacing.
I should have posted without an image in retrospect.
