I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.

I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

    In my mind, I put “driving a Tesla” as different than “driving a cybertruck.” Two different demographics. I wouldn’t laugh at the car, but I would definitely laugh at the truck.

      Agreed. Regular Teslas were the first readily commercially available electric car and are reasonable to own. I’ve also seen funny bumper stickers for sale for Tesla owners that say “This car was bought before Elon sucked”etc.

      A cybertruck was always his impractical vanity project and sold for an obscene amount of money. They don’t function as promised and even if they were sold by Ford or Toyota I would still think they were stupid cars. I would never vandalize one to be undrivable but I’ll laugh my butt off if I ever see one with vandalized rear or side panels.

        In 2018 he called that diver a pedo.

        Neuralink was founded in 2016.

        You need to have a pretty old Tesla in order to have bought it before Elon made it clear he’s a moron.
