Don’t destroy Tesla cars, destroy the brand. Destroying Teslas means there’s fewer Teslas and that makes them more valuable/reduces the flooding of the market caused by people selling their cars. The goal is to annihilate Elon’s purchasing power to stop him from using it to implementing fascist governments around the world.

In fairness, I think the possibility that someone might light your car on fire is a stronger incentive to not buy a brand than internet posts making fun of the brand. It also means now they have to beef up security at all of the dealerships. Car sales are surprisingly impulse driven, hence the famous high pressure sales tactics, so it’ll be harder to get people in the door if they’re strip searching everyone and if they can’t have as much inventory on the lot, customers can’t drive home with the options they want so less impulse buying. Also full coverage insurance, required for financing, will get more expensive or even impossible to obtain which possibly means a massively decreased customer pool.
I think a better counter argument is the environmental damage caused by lighting all the cancer boxes on fire.
Do teslas even have options? Isn’t it just the battery pack and awd/rwd and then performance
I looked a few years ago when a friend of my partner got a Tesla a few years ago. Picking a color cost like €2000 or so.
Tesla has much higher output than the number of vehicles that spontaneously combust. So the supply shortage you envision won’t occur unless cars light up by the hundreds or thousands a day. And that’s before accounting for all the extra slack in production created by decreasing demand around the world.
Teslas combusting damages the brand. It’s a material risk of owning a Tesla. It would also mean higher insurance. In fact beyond some combustion threshold, Teslas would become uninsurable. Therefore Teslas on fire directly contributes to decreasing Elon’s purchase power.
Nice.
Looks like false flag.
Can’t believe the Insurrection Act is gonna be used because of homie’s swasticars
Very fucking GOOD.
Wow. Having not read the article (just the headline)… I seriously don’t understand why people torch/destroy other peoples stuff! Yes Elon bad, but why attack innocent civilians?! 10-ish years ago, you were considered a leftist nutjob with a hardon for climate change when you bought a Tesla (note: I do firmly believe in climate change), these days you’re a nazi driving the exact same car?… Debate, discussion, even disagreement between parties is all fine and dandy, but actually destroying other peoples property is - in my honest opinion - against the very thing people ‘are fighting for’.
because true love is only possible in the next world, for new people. it is too late for us. so they wreak havoc on the middle class. tesla owners aren’t exactly in the same working class that the arsonist is likely radicalized by being a part of. burning the cars send a message to nazis, to elon directly, and to a lesser but still real extent, the petty bourgeois class that acts as the operating oppressive arm of the oligarchy. not saying its right or moral or good or bad for any cause, just likely the mindset of someone who is setting fire to nazi cars in 2025.
A tesla is well within the range of affordable for a working class person. Someone with a decent job will be making 100k, and it’s not hard to get a Tesla on that budget.
100k would put you right in the middle class. a working class person is going to be making less than like 65k a year and supporting a family on that.
Working class does not mean poor. It means people who work for their living. You have frontline manual labor workers who make over 100k and you dare suggest that just because they put in the work to unionize, that they aren’t working class?
But it’s not on fire?
multiple is not enough.
Tesla just likes building things that spontaneously catch on fire. 🤷♂️
Good. Do more.
They need to diversify their strategy.
I didn’t see nuffin
Oh no anyway…
Insurance fraud due to slow sales
perfect. let’s see if all tesla dealerships do it
