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.
The insurance premiums of the commercial ones will increase by a lot of this happens too much.
Or removing its windshield wiper (its the giant stick on one side of the windshield)
Couldn't they just put a new one on easily?
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.
Smh you should tell that to the fools in the thread about the lady in Colorado. They seem quite oblivious to this
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.
Yeah they've only had like a decade to figure that out
Bitch Musk has been an asshole for longer than a fucking decade, get your head out of your ass
Yes it was lmao
That's entirely orthogonal to the point of their comment
Yes, and?
Up to a point. No cybertruck owner has any excuse.
Cybertrucks for sure
