While I get that people try to hurt Tesla's sales, please don't set random people's property on fire. You might destroy the live of someone who bought a car before Edolf Musk rose to power and displayed the extent of his insanity.

Couldn't care less for Tesla's fresh out the factory tho

I'm not excusing burning down innocent people's property, but Teslas are not cheap.

I doubt anyone who'd lose one would have their life destroyed.

So what are we saying? Destruction of people's property is cool if it passes some arbitrary threshold that seems like they must be "well off" to own that property?

Does that also mean it's cool to rob anyone who owns a macbook, on the assumption they'd have a cheaper laptop if they weren't loaded?

Where I live, the taxi drivers primarily are driving Teslas and other electric cars because they do crazy mileage for their job and so over time the Tesla is actually the most economical choice for them. And that's just a regular working class job.
