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.
Unfortunately due to how insurance works, damaging Teslas is yet another way to raise premiums.
Also, this isn’t about joining a cause anymore. This is about the only method of retaliation left. I assume most who could afford a Tesla (which was always on the higher priced side of things) are also those who could have by now afforded to do a trade in for basically any other car for months by now.
If I myself somehow still had a Tesla, I’d get rid of it for a used car if I had to. If I could afford it though, I’d pay for a punk band to create a song against Elon and Trump, and shoot a music video of said punk band and friends destroying the Tesla in slow mo and lighting it on fire, ending it with the car blowing up.
Actually, how about you find poor people who own a Tesla and reach out to them. I’ll crowdfund for them so we can make this music video happen, and the proceeds will go for them to buy a new car. Find me more than one and I can do different music videos - maybe dubstep or electronica while this guy shoots his plasma cannon at it. Or Classical music or an orchestra as we destroy a car with icicles and rust for example.
I’m sorry, do you genuinely think that burning some random guy’s car is actual retaliation?
When that car has become a symbol, definitely. The car being burnt isn’t random after all.
Otherwise your statement has the same energy as saying we shouldn’t burn some random guy’s work uniform. It omits that this is the uniform:
You really underestimate how many people buy above their means for cars.
As far as I’ve seen, most Teslas being scorched are dealership ones, not personal ones. But even if it were a personal one, isn’t insurance mandatory in the USA? Probably would get a bigger payout if someone did torch it rather than trading in at a dealership. And would definitely probably get more out of it than if it were just keyed and the tires were punctured. Bonus, one less swatsicar in circulation.

It is some random man’s car still. I didn’t say it was a random car. And likely someone who hates trump too, since they’re driving electric
Thw car wasn’t a symbol when they bought it
One less electric car. You want to actively destroy the environment to own the conservatives. Not passively. Actively.
Also no, coverage for your own car is not mandatory, what?
Yeah, it is completely shocking to everyone outside the US that auto insurance isn’t mandatory.
I mean. Pretty sure all states require damage coverage. Just not coverage for your own car
