Oh no, I really hope some locals don't vandalize these valuable assets in this unguarded lot...

Yeah I don’t really care for them, but free? I will Nazi or hear anyone giving me a hard time in my fake DeLorean.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Tow them and fine them. Simple as that.

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Towing them without putting them in tow mode will total them.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 2 months ago

Sounds like the vehicle owners' problem. "Unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the owners expense."

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

These ugly things need to be in "tow mode"?

I was going to say what a stupid idea, but that's just the tip of the stupid ice berg.

[-] nuxi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Any vehicle with AWD has special towing considerations.

[-] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Ah thank you! today I learned. Also learned that I'm part of the inferior fwd race.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Tow trucks have never cared about wrecking their cargo before. Why should they care for Cybertrucks?

[-] IdontplaytheTrombone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Even better.

They're just so damn ugly. One pulled up next to me at a light the other day and it looked like a cockroach skittered into my side vision.

Ripe for arson

The property owners should seize them for unpaid storage fee's. That has happened in my state. Putting your property on someone elses property is considered a tacit admission of a debt when it comes to storage. Ironically there is another law that states you can't charge for more than six months storage without a signed agreement. However there is nothing regulating how much that fee is. Case in point a person failed to pick up late model car at a towing company for two years. The towing company gave the owner a huge bill and they went to court to get it reduced to six months. The towing company just resubmitted a bill for six months at a increased rate that equaled the amount of the original bill. By the time the asshole who should have come and got their car sooner got through the bill had went up again. It was quite entertaining. to watch.

This was my first thought. But the top comment talking about the batteries and what not going to hospitals and emergency centers made me feel different, hopeful even. Like, a feeling of organized chaotic good anarchy. Why burn the cars completely, when we can resources the useful parts, and then burn the left over scraps of the worthless useless billionaire? I mean... car.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Same thing is happening in Europe with Chinese EVs. Chinese EVs are piling up at European ports because they've gone unsold and the carmakers were way too optimistic or it's some sort of book keeping trickery to rack up the sales figures.

[-] MangioneDontMiss@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

few cans of gasoline and some matches could go a long way to help solving this problem

[-] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Or fly a drone overhead and drop paint or Liquid Ass.

[-] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

definitely would rather see people ~~stealing~~ recycling the batteries
