    This manhunt for Tesla owners is wild. The overwhelming majority of these cars will have been bought way before everything went to shit.

    You really need to get your head out of your own ass if you think this is the route to get people to join your cause. Not everybody is in a position to arbitrairily sell their car and donate proceeds to charity like these Hollywood stars.

    If the car is even yours to begin with and not a lease or company car.

      Unfortunately due to how insurance works, damaging Teslas is yet another way to raise premiums.

      Also, this isn’t about joining a cause anymore. This is about the only method of retaliation left. I assume most who could afford a Tesla (which was always on the higher priced side of things) are also those who could have by now afforded to do a trade in for basically any other car for months by now.

      If I myself somehow still had a Tesla, I’d get rid of it for a used car if I had to. If I could afford it though, I’d pay for a punk band to create a song against Elon and Trump, and shoot a music video of said punk band and friends destroying the Tesla in slow mo and lighting it on fire, ending it with the car blowing up.

      Actually, how about you find poor people who own a Tesla and reach out to them. I’ll crowdfund for them so we can make this music video happen, and the proceeds will go for them to buy a new car. Find me more than one and I can do different music videos - maybe dubstep or electronica while this guy shoots his plasma cannon at it. Or Classical music or an orchestra as we destroy a car with icicles and rust for example.

      Musk called a guy a pedo because he was angry they didn’t use his solution to save kids that would have died if they had waited for him. That was in 2018. Wanna bet most Tesla on the road were sold after that happened?

      Musk was shit way before the current events, people still supported him financially.

        You are arbitrarily deciding a line where people should have stopped buying his cars to prove your point in the present. But nobody hunted down teslas after the pedo remark? So evidently people disagree with your line.

        I’m not sure what you expect people to do with this.

        If CEO’s being pricks is such a valid reason to drop whole companies Amazon also shouldn’t exist. Instead Amazon is worth more then a laundry list of western economies.

          I mean… No, Amazon shouldn’t exist? What’s the point you’re trying to make here?

          I’m just pointing out that there’s a shit ton of people that just decided to ignore the fact that Musk is a moron that has no business managing a multinational company and none of them deserve compassion now that they suddenly realize that maybe they shouldn’t have bought a car from him.

      i hope your not that naive, the point is to send a message, and TESLA is clearly suffering from the falling sales and the continuing boycotting and vandalism is working. Also the fact that teslas in general have defect issues anyways.

        Im not saying to not boycott Tesla. Im saying Tesla isn’t hurt by damaging or destoying someones private property.

        But most or all. You don’t need to freaking dox it’s owners to key or even entirely destroy a Tesla…

        People don’t need to get hurt or worse over their car. I don’t care what justification you make up in your head for it that is just wrong on all levels.
