    The only reason EV’s never got off the ground in the US is because the auto industry was shutting that shit down every step of the way. Iirc a few people even got disappeared. There are numerous documentaries out there.

    I agree though, going after regular folks just because they bought a car isn’t cool. People should stay focused on the actual fascis7s.

      Disappeared? The oil and gas industry has been making people disappear for profit since before automobiles became a thing. This industry will murder you if you’re actually competition or inhibiting them.

      Car dealerships are fair game I don’t care what happens to cars there. But an individual’s car, I wouldn’t go beyond leaving notes on the windshield, otherwise you’re just making people angry for no good reason. Before 2020 a lot of people may have bought a Tesla and while Musk was always fishy, at the time it wasn’t any worse than most other car companies. And not everyone can “just sell” their cars. Cybertrucks though… These are actively dangerous and disabling them is a matter of public safety 😝

        If you bought a Tesla… Yes, you can just “sell your car”. These are not cars that a typical working class joe buys.

      Is this Tesla’s fault? How is this relevant? Everyone knows this; it’s like, the number one “did you know?” fact about EVs.
