    I dont think it’s kind to heckle Tesla owners. But I do admit I laugh out loud every time I see a Cybertruck. They’re that silly.

            I mean, forgive me, but it was an odd response to talking about people’s cars being vandalised.

                They’re not though. Not everyone who owns a Tesla is supportive of Musk and Nazis. That’s a dumb world view.

                I’d never buy one because I don’t want my money to go to him, but other people have owned theirs since before the cyber truck days where he could be reasonably ignored.

    Heard on Swedish radio (P4) that there are even car dealers that no longer accept a tesla as trade-in when you buy a car from them.

    Imagine alienating your core client base of the company that you use as collateral for all your business dealings. If Tesla stock tanks Elons loans get called in as the collateral would be worthless and he doesn’t have liquid cash to cover his other investments. Would be a site for sore eyes to watch him go penniless.

    People who bought Tesla cars before Elon bought an election should not be harassed.

    A vehicle is for the decade, at minimum. Affording a switch is not something that can be assumed. This isn’t the 90s, when regular people turned over a lease, or a purchase, every 3 years, ish.

    There’s also a commitment to electric once a charging station is installed at your home.

    My last vehicle lasted almost 15yrs.

      Nope. Protesting is meant to be disruptive. Making tesla owners uncomfortable is the only way to take elon down.

        Crazy take. You dont have agency to address real issues (money in politics, correctly taxing gains, lack of good leadership and social infrastructure) so lets lash out at other wage earners who have more in common with you.

          Does that apply to strikes too? 'Crazy take. You don’t have agency to address real issues (setting wages) so let’s lash out at other wage earners (customers) who have more in common with you.

        You think Elon gives a fuck about Tesla owners? He is swimming tax payer dollars for his other ventures. Military and space $$ dwarf car sales. He doesn’t give two shits about Tesla and knows other companies are going to take away most of his market share.

        That’s why all the new shit promised is not happening. It’s not being funded.
