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.

    Even if they were “almost 100%” right wing tech bros, it doesn’t excuse messing with a private person’s shit.

    People need to target the problem, rather than infighting.

      how much money puts you above the proletarian mark? people are working hard and still struggling. other people are creaming off their capital and buying expensive trinkets as a sign. it seems moral to make their lives difficult. and taking your expensive Tesla car to be repaired every month is the tax on your stupidity.

        No answer to your question is relevant, as there is no line where vandalising someone’s shit becomes acceptable. Let alone based on someone’s gut reaction that owning a particular car makes someone scum

          there is no line where vandalising someone’s shit becomes acceptable.

          There definitely is, it’s acceptable for the homeless to throw rocks at the kings carriage as it rolls by, so where’s the line?
