Last week 404 Media reported a website called ‘Dogequest’ was doxing Tesla owners. The site administrators appear to have launched a clone of the interactive map on the dark web too.
Destroying unsold Teslas at least doesn’t hurt people who may have bought their cars just because at one point Tesla made the best EVs (not even close to the best cars, but definitely the best EVs in terms of powertrain and battery. A while ago, anyway). So there’s way less collateral damage and fewer people to alienate.
There is one caveat though. The dealerships are probably insured and would financially be better off having the cars burn as nobody’s buying them right now. Though maybe if enough Teslas burn, Tesla dealers become uninsurable. Now that would put them out of business real quick.
Additionally, if someone managed to somehow disable a Tesla factory without directly hurting the workers, that would bring tears of joy to many people. The workers themselves are just simple laborers though. It’s not like jobs are easy to come by right now and I’m sure plenty would leave if they could. So I hope nobody shoots up a factory with workers inside or something. Even leaving the moral implications of homicide aside, it would also instantly boost Elon and Tesla in a lot of people’s eyes if something like this happened.
