I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.
I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.
I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.
But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

Personally, no. Most people probably brought their cars before Musk went totally nuts, or they simply didn’t know. Plus, not everyone can just get rid of their car because of the CEO of the company that made it.
No but that isn’t vandalism.
That’s just writing in dirt. A prank as old as cars. Totally fine.
If you want to go further that’s up to you.
TBH, you’re only really hurting the owner, and you don’t know their situation necessarily unless you’re in close contact with them all the time.
Plus Teslas have security cameras.
It’s generally a bad idea.
Its already pre-vandalized from the factory with that awful design. No need to kick a car when its down.
But no, doing damage to other people’s property is not okay
if you like what it’s doing to the Tesla brand, then maybe it’s justified. you need to make that decision for yourself. I think public shame goes a long way to fixing social problems
Only Cybertrucks. Someone who got a second-hand car four years ago didn’t buy-in to the current trend of fascism. But the cybertruck is new enough that if you bought it, you know what’s going on
ITT: americans who are way too much into private property
Also you put way too much money in your cars, wtf !!!
Well. I bought mine 2 years ago, and am currently trying to get something else in its place. But I need to take my kids to daycare and myself to work every day so I cannot just like dump it. So you might be vandalizing somebody who thought it was a good idea to replace a petrol car with an EV and Tesla was simply the best quality/cost solution at the time and the amount of politics involved were pretty minimal.
You might turn somebody who was mildly sympathetic to your ideas farther away from you. Definitely not going to make new allies in that way.
Cybertrucks however, fuck those things and everybody who bought them. Molotov cocktail them for all I care.
You never know what another person is really going through in life, so don’t be a dick to a stranger…
My father was always going on about how stupid it is to buy a car designed by computer scientists and electrical engineers. He himself is an electrical engineer who has a PhD in computer science. He might have been on to something.
I will not lose sleep over a vandalised cybertruck
No, much like staging a coup of the U.S. government and threatening the sovereignty of free nations, it’s unethical, and the punishment should be proportional to the punishment for those offenses, according to severity.
They’re doing a pretty good job of vandalising themselves all on their own.
