Last week 404 Media reported a website called ‘Dogequest’ was doxing Tesla owners. The site administrators appear to have launched a clone of the interactive map on the dark web too.
I’d point out Volkswagen and Porsche also still exist. With the former now owning a laundry list of other brands.
I’m definately in the camp where people need to take a step back and look at who they are hurting with this and how realistic it is to expect people to just get rid of their car.
Especially now nobody wants them.
After all just because Democrats now hate this brand doesn’t mean MAGA starts buying them up…

I think after reading @[email protected] 's perspective, I’m certainly a bit more sympathetic. I guess I had a picture in my head about the economic status of the typical Tesla owner that they could probably afford to absorb the loss if they could afford the thing in the first place. I forgot we live in a world where you can finance everything, even your take-out, and that even luxury car owners might be living paycheque to paycheque.
That, and that there are probably quite a few people who got one for environmental reasons who don’t deserve to be hurt for what was most likely an innocent mistake.
I kinda thought that’s what they were getting at, that there are other brands that deserved scorn just as badly, and we generally don’t take out our frustrations on the owners.

Ok, so they don’t need to get rid of it. Park it, cover with a tarp, and use public transportation. Easy solution.
Sorry if it’s inconvenient, but opposing fascism isn’t convenient to do.
Hell, if that’s too far a bridge, the owner is of course, free to take a can of paint, and put “Elon Musk is a Nazi” on the car. Problem solved.

Yeah, Volkswagen is super well known for really caring about emissions… Cough…

Yes, take public transport, from suburbia…
Man, it certainly does suck that they’ve opposed public transportation in their community in the past… starting to see a pattern here.
