    While I get that people try to hurt Tesla’s sales, please don’t set random people’s property on fire. You might destroy the live of someone who bought a car before Edolf Musk rose to power and displayed the extent of his insanity.

    Couldn’t care less for Tesla’s fresh out the factory tho

      Have a buddy whose dad pre-ordered a cybertruck as celebration for his retirement ~4 years ago.

      He’s trying to sell it now but he can’t even drive it because of the harassment lol, a lot of angry people

      I’m not excusing burning down innocent people’s property, but Teslas are not cheap.

      I doubt anyone who’d lose one would have their life destroyed.

        So what are we saying? Destruction of people’s property is cool if it passes some arbitrary threshold that seems like they must be “well off” to own that property?

        Does that also mean it’s cool to rob anyone who owns a macbook, on the assumption they’d have a cheaper laptop if they weren’t loaded?

        Where I live, the taxi drivers primarily are driving Teslas and other electric cars because they do crazy mileage for their job and so over time the Tesla is actually the most economical choice for them. And that’s just a regular working class job.

            Well you said those words, but then followed on by saying what seems to be an excuse for exactly that - effectively they are rich so they can afford it

              The original commenter said that burning down Teslas might destroy the owners life. This is a car that costs somewhere between 40000 and 150000 dollars. Someone who can afford that is highly likely to recover, even if the insurance wouldn’t cover for it. That’s what this commenter pointed out.

              Stating that isn’t saying that it’s cool to burn down an unknown person’s car.

      Elon musk has been a known grifter for almost a decade now, also doing material damage is the only thing that actually works.
