    So many people on social media cheering for vandalizing other people’s private property just because they disagree with the politics of the maker of their cars. Wild.

      “Just because they disagree with the politics” look we can say what we want about the burning Teslas part this isn’t a “little disagreement”. Musk’s a full-blown turbo-Nazi and in and in Germany, where this happened, he’s pouring money into the AFD which is essentially just the return of a German Nazi party. Don’t water it down.

        That is politics. Are you suggesting it is acceptable to destroy private property that belongs to the members of the AFD?

        You’re not attacking a billionaire. You are attacking random private citizens.

            Not everybody has insurance that covers vandalism. Most people have a deductible they need to pay before the insurance kick in. You are forcing people to take time out of their day to take the car to the shop for repairs and/or have to deal with long administrative tasks.

            Premiums would not only go up for future Tesla owners.

              Not everybody has insurance that covers vandalism.

              Tesla owners should upgrade quickly.

              Most people have a deductible they need to pay before the insurance kick in.

              True. However the main financial impact on current Tesla owners is the falling 2nd hand market price. Current owners are already losing out. Nothing can be done about that.

              You are forcing people to take time out of their day to take the car to the shop for repairs and/or have to deal with long administrative tasks.

              So sell the Telsa if that is a worry.

              Premiums would not only go up for future Tesla owners.

              If only Teslas are vandalised then only that brands premiums are affected.

                Maybe one day you will be on the receiving end of such despicable attacks on private citizens and only then you might change your mind.

                You do not get to dictate what cars people get to buy, nor what kind of insurance they must have. That is not how insurance works, premiums will go up for everyone.

                Besides, you tell people to sell their cars, while you acknowledge the big financial hit that would involve; who are they going to sell it to? Whoever buys it will also suffer from the vandalism you encourage.

                  Tesla owners are people who could afford luxury cars, and NEW Tesla owners are people who are fine with Nazis, that is, exterminating a fuckton of helpless people. The first category, I’m sorry for but they can afford the insurance and if they were stupid enough not to get one, even now when it’s obvious that they need it, it’s their loss. The second category we are at war with, and if it ever goes full blown, idk if somebody told you how wars work, but I’ll be killing them. Setting their car on fire is pretty tame compared to that.

                  Do people think wars consist of the parties sending strongly worded letters at each other?

                  Edit: and toppling a billionaire to prevent a full blown war that will kill a few million people worldwide is worth ANYTHING short of killing a few million people worldwide.

        Specifically his ego, Musk is such a weakling that he sees ANY attack on Tesla as an attack on himself. That may be the point basically using the cars as proxy but the fact he legit gets so upset about it means it’s working. Also as I need to remention Musk is such a fucking weak little bitch that he gets sad when folks burn something his company produces.

          If they are insured, no.

          Insurance premiums will go up on teslas.

          Then people will buy less tesla.

          Then Musk will get margin called.

            Premiums going up will hurt regular people more than Musk. Hurting your fellow countrymen is such a lefty thing to do…

              It will only hurt people who continue to own Teslas when they renew their insurance. They are part of the demographic supporting Musk, so fuckem.

                Yeah conservatives were totally the largest market for EVs before Musk took the mask off, right? You people truly have not spent even a microsecond thinking this through.

                  What? This has nothing to do with politics of the consumer. YOU haven’t thought this through.

                  The point is to damage Musk. If you continue to use his products (rather than sell or scrap) then you are part of the problems.

                  This is true for cars, websites, AI, satellite connectivity etc.

                    There’s no one to sell to and scraping would only hurt the people. Next time try to use your brain.

                    You don’t get to decide who uses what product and commit vandalism acts if they choose differently than you.
