You don’t have to “sign up”. You can just scroll down a bit to the “Find A Protest Now” button, or click the direct link I provided above.

ETA, you don’t even need a clever sign to hold up. Just being present is good enough.

    We had one here in my small suburb town a couple of days ago. I was surprised, and pleased to see it. There were only about 50 people, but there was 50 people.

    YSK - You can find a Tesla protest near you by making a sign and looking for the closest Tesla Service Center/Dealer…

    I highly recommend not visiting this website, but if you absolutely should please use Tor. The log collection policy of this website is unknown and god forbid somehow the logs are obtained it could be used against you.

      The admin running the site is blocking access from Tor.

      Error: Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server.

      Edit: I just sent them an email to the address on their WhoIs registration asking them to allow Tor. Email is 8hugsrrg2j7xebd@proxy.dreamhost.com, I encourage you to do the same.

      Or this is all a honeypot and we’re all fucked. Yippee!

      This is good advice. Thoth here’s a thought. Most people around here know about tor and VPNs and http proxies and whatever else. And even without that probably in general leave a more anonymous footprint on the web. I’m betting there are millions of “normies” visiting that site from their phones following FB or X (lol) or IG or TikTok links. (Which would be the same phones they will have on them when they attend one of these protests. ) But I’m betting there’s millions of visitors. Trump can’t even deport millions of people, much as he’d like to claim. If they start arresting millions for visiting a website (not that they’d have anywhere to put them) that would certainly have people rioting in the streets.

      People who don’t care about it and just want a good price, probably.

      Still, a sale that does not go towards the Billionaire.

      No one. Which is why we shouldn’t bother existing Tesla owners.

      But they should still put their cars up for sale. Flood the market.

      People who don’t mind being lumped in with Nazis. Teslas might be sold by owners at a loss, but besides the CyberStuck the other models sell used.

      For example where I live in Canada the district has never voted anything but conservative for decades. Nobody is harassing Tesla owners here, different story if they drive 25 kilometers down the highway into the city.

        I’ve kind of debated buying one just because it possibly can be a great deal on an electric car. Slap a few “I hate Elon” magnets on there and hopefully no one torches it lol.

          If you can avoid 1st party Tesla service centers (not user friendly or pro right to repair like an Apple product and attitude) and deal with the “I’m not a nazi, just frugal” stickers, it could be worth any perceived risk.

          I get the other view, that it’s quite wasteful to just destroy them. Not that it would’ve happened anyways. That wouldn’t be realistic, just progressive fantasies.

              Also the bodies are aluminum (except the cybercuck) so your gonna want to invest in stickers or vinyl wrap, rather than magnets.

        I don’t feel like that’s the case. The cheapest used pickup available right now costs 3x as much as I paid for mine. The price difference pays my fuel for 10 years.

          TBH Teslas have always been status symbols for the uber wealthy.

          If they were a true “people’s car,” they’d be plug in hybrids with a tiny gas generator… and like half the price, with less emissions from production.

            What I like most about electric cars is that there’s so much less moving parts that break and need to be replaced. With a hybrid this isn’t really the case. I wouldn’t mind getting an electric pickup but they’re just way out of my price range and I don’t quite feel like getting one that’s all new and shiny because I use mine for work and it’ll eventually get all banged up anyway. Also, really difficult to find one with just two seats and a long bed.

              Hybrids can be simple too.

              The problem with EVs is that the battery is massive, expensive, and suffers from the the tyranny of the rocket equation: The more battery you have, the more battery you need to haul that battery around, and so on.

              Hence, pure EVs are extremely heavy and expensive.

              Stick in a self contained generator, just a few horsepower like a backup generator you’d find at Lowe’s, and it short circuits this equation. You can have a really small, lightweight battery on a lightweight frame because a four horsepower range extender weighs practically nothing, and is ridiculously fuel efficient from being so small and constant RPM.

              That’s what a plug in hybrid is. All electric, with a backup generator in the boot and like 1000lb lighter.

              This is very distinct from true hybrid ICE vehicles like the Prius, which is a frankly a stupid way to engineer it these days. The only reason they do is because it uses existing ICE manufacturing, as it’s mostly an ICE car with a transmission and everything.

              And why doesn’t anyone make those? Well, in the US, they aren’t “premium” because they’re tainted by gas. If you have the manufacturing set up for EVs, mind as well make super expensive luxury cars that sell for higher margins. This is wha Tesla has always done.

                This is not how all plug in hybrids work. This is a specific type of hybrid usually called in-series. The engine is not connected to the powertrain and it only supplies energy to the battery or motors

                The biggest “issue” is that now you have a generator in your car making a constant noise that is not “attractive” or feels “luxurious” which unfortunately the people with money to adopt new technologies look for

                Ram is releasing one soon https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a45734742/2025-ram-1500-ramcharger-revealed/

                BYD and Nissan have similar technologies, but it is not widely adopted yet

        People don’t seem to understand. It’s not a protest against electric cars. It’s a protest against the oligarchy.

        Don’t forget. Hitler loved Henry Ford.
