    It will only hurt people who continue to own Teslas when they renew their insurance. They are part of the demographic supporting Musk, so fuckem.

      Yeah conservatives were totally the largest market for EVs before Musk took the mask off, right? You people truly have not spent even a microsecond thinking this through.

        What? This has nothing to do with politics of the consumer. YOU haven’t thought this through.

        The point is to damage Musk. If you continue to use his products (rather than sell or scrap) then you are part of the problems.

        This is true for cars, websites, AI, satellite connectivity etc.

          There’s no one to sell to and scraping would only hurt the people. Next time try to use your brain.

            This only hurts the people who own a tesla long term.

            If they can’t scrap or sell then an insurance write of is the best way to reclaim the value.

                Tesla owners are already losing money in terms of resale value.

                Money comes from an insurance write off or a second hand sale.

          You don’t get to decide who uses what product and commit vandalism acts if they choose differently than you.

            You would be attacking Musk. The users of the product get compensated. In fact, an insurance write off is a better financial option than the second hand market.

              No, you wouldn’t be attacking Musk, you are attacking random people.

              If you want to attack Musk, then target his own properties, not random people’s; not that I condone violence either way.

                People are attacking Teslas future income stream.

                That means they are attacking the current Tesla share price.

                That means they are attacking Musk.

                Normal people are compensated by insurance.

                Future tesla owners will need to pay higher insurance premiums.

                  You know people can attack Tesla’s future income stream simply by not buying a Tesla.

                  There’s no need to destroy random citizens private property and we already established they are not made whole by insurance.

                  It is naive to think insurance prices will only rise for future Tesla owners.

                  If I disagree with something you do, that does not justify me destroying your private property.

                    You know people can attack Tesla’s future income stream simply by not buying a Tesla.

                    And you can attack it even more by dissuading other people too.

                    There’s no need to destroy random citizens private property

                    There is a need if faster results are sought.

                    and we already established they are not made whole by insurance.

                    Then sell before it’s vandalised.

                    is naive to think insurance prices will only rise for future Tesla owners.

                    This is how insurance works. Brands, models and even colors have different premiums.

                    If I disagree with something you do, that does not justify me destroying your private property.

                    It’s not about the Tesla owner directly. It’s about damaging Musk.

                    I should state that I am not going to damage anyone’s private property, but current and future Tesla owners should be aware of the logic behind the attacks and act appropriately.
