Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor’s office said Monday.

    I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.

    I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.

    I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.

    That’s what I’ve heard.

        In my country private insurance is way higher on Teslas than other models already, apparently a mix of them being valuable, high risk of accident/theft, and impossible to repair from small fender benders driving cost of replacements up.

          Apparently they are only purchasable through Tesla directly, and are severely backordered.

          Not surprising, its a stupid and nonstandard design, one giant wiper for the whole damn windshield on a single hinge at the corner.

            It’s on the drivers side if you want to make it quicker and spend less time near the camera riddled surveillance-mobiles.

            Unrelated note: Covid is still out there and masking is a good way to mitigate spread of disease.

              Don’t forget to wear your examination gloves so you don’t touch infected surfaces…

              Remember proper washing procedures when changing gloves.

        Why would I tell anyone? I’m not condoning any action of vandalism at all. It’s only what I’ve heard.

        Now that you’ve heard it too, you can tell others what you’ve heard without condoning it either.
