I used to work in insurance. This might actually be the biggest blow to Testla, even more than stock prices. If people keep vandalizing the vehicles, eventually the insurance has to come due. And repair costs are not cheap, its basically only dealers and a limited number of repair places that partner.
And insurance companies always make sure they get their money.
What kinds of vandalism are most costly to repair, without endangering the lives of drivers, passengers and people nearby? I want to see if those are mentioned in future news coverage.
Paint probably.
Also I would never support anything illegal. As the law requires.
Like, painting a Cybertruck?
Its not vandalism, its just courtesy. The poor machine didn’t come with any.
So it’s actually working!
That makes it more expensive to own a Tesla, and that’s one more thing that will make it less attractive to buy, either new or used.
It’s debatable whether this is fair, but clearly it achieves a political goal.It’s debatable whether this is fair, but clearly it achieves a political goal.
I’d be real careful cheering vandalism / destruction of private property because you believe it achieves a political goal you agree with; eventually others will start doing do the same thing to further political goals that they agree with.
Isn’t that what they are already doing?
With no regard for how it harms others!Yea. This isn’t being started on the left. It’s being emulated.
Some higher being observing Earth from a far distance must be intrigued by the pattern recognition of us destroying one specific car while completely ignoring the thousands of others.
Like, imagine when we look at single-cell organisms and see them swarm something. We’d never apply any kind of nuanced interpersonal/sociopolitical reasons to be the cause.
If it works out it could be the template for a lot more action
I think it goes Luigi > Tesla Removal > and some time down the road, we’ll be in what would later be historically considered a revolution— what’s crazy is with how interconnected we are today, it could be a global revolution of some kind.
