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.
Would you be ok with me pissing on everything you own? Sounds like the time and money you spent on stuff is of no consequence to you.
They are right on those two points, though: Americans are way too much into property/money/materialism, and many put way too much money into their cars.
That doesn’t mean it’s OK to vandalize people’s cars (especially older models), and I DO care about stuff I’ve worked for. But it’s still true.
And yes it’s not exclusive to Americans. But we’re pretty damn bad about it. We are the land of the $80,000 commuter and grocery getter truck that uses twice as much gasoline as a normal car.
