The Tesla protests are getting bigger — and rowdier
(www.theverge.com)
So... what about SpaceX?
There is a small, but not completely minute, chance that SpaceX employees may be on this.
These people have a brain, and are only in the company to gain experience. Who knows, maybe one or two engines may get damaged in the process.
Duuuude. The enslaved Jews were pissing on the V2 avionics causing the missiles to crash. You could be right. Fuck Elon.

and a Boston man was arrested for slapping stickers of Musk making a Nazi-like salute on Tesla vehicles
Better have him taken out back and shot, right? 🙄

If those guys are supposed to be in uniform - no two are dressed the same. One guy didn't tie his shoes, another's jacket doesn't fit. It is very sloppy and unprofessional looking.
I can't even get passed how gross it is to see this many cops standing in front of a business where there is no visible evidence of violent activity where people might be harmed. It just looks like a statement saying this is our priority - corporate welfare for the Uber rich and worst possible human specimens at the cost of taxpayer dollars. It's so gross I can't even work my way to the nuances of how these slobs are dressed.
JFC, since at least that demented shit Reagan, corporate welfare for the Uber rich and suppression of workers rights have been American domestic policy. And since the early 20th century it’s been a goal of the GOP. Arguably, corporate welfare and worker suppression have been founding principles of the US.
Considering slavery is legal under the original constitution I would say “worker suppression” is DEFINITELY a founding principle of the US.
Kind of what I meant.
There’s a reason people say officers are class traitors. Policing has never been about protecting the public; It has always been about suppressing the masses and protecting the elite.
It’s what policing is for. It’s never been about protecting people but businesses
Fits in perfectly with the Tesla brand then, doesn't it.
Idk how many truth there is to this, but I saw someone else mention that they are off-duty and hired by Tesla to just stand there in uniform

We shouldn't make people scared for owning a Tesla, just embarrassed.
I like em scared. We don’t shun enough.
i'm gonna lean on the side of "fuck that shit" on this one. buying a tesla is a choice. maga are terrorizing people for things they didn't choose like skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc, and that list will only get longer
fuck tesla, and fuck tesla buyers. unlike their holy godman idol musk, i value empathy. but not for people who pridefully show none of it themselves
A lot of regular Tesla owners genuinely didn't know a ton about the company and until the last few years Musk wasn't quite so openly a Nazi.
I have zero sympathy for Cybertruck owners but I am going to wait to reserve judgement on average Tesla owners until I have proof it was bought recently and that they are okay with Musk as he is.
The reality is some people can't just up and trade in the car as easily as they might want to, even if they hate Musk and all he stands for now.
I don't disagree with what you're saying, except that we should be doing everything possible to drive down their value. The less value they have the less Tesla is worth. Ideally people sell their Teslas used, driving the used cost down, making anyone looking to buy one still consider that instead of giving money to the company. We can have people who still support Tesla not giving money to them potentially.
People with ordinary Teslas might have bought them before Musk was a total ass. And apart from some dumb ideas like steering yokes and poor emergency releases and build quality they’re not that bad.
The Cybertruck is objectively bad and deserves ridicule regardless of what Lengthy Nutria does.
Musk was always a total ass. Agree maybe ppl were unaware until recently though

Model Y Juniper just started shipping this month. Its a glaring sign that says they bought it after everything Musk did.
I wasn't aware because I don't follow Tesla but that's really useful info because you're damn right.
I have a Tesla (2017). Had no idea who this guy was at the time, I just liked the idea of an electric vehicle, and buying into a future without ICE. Cars been great, company not so much.
Musk can go to hell though that’s for sure
fair enough. i still say fuck'em. there are many more people much more deserving of my sympathy than fucking tesla owners
For many of us we've had our vehicles for a long time before Elon went dipshit crazy. For some it's because EVs were essentially dogshit before the Model 3 was introduced. Either short range grocery getters or expensive luxury. Even now most "electrified" vehicles everyone advertises are hybrids, not EVs.
I got my Model 3 near the end of 2018. Elon wasn't posting far right and Nazi shit at that time. He was sort of controversial, but that was about it.
That's why I don't have ill will for people for having a non cybertruck Tesla unless you can tell it's new. But if you don't have an anti elon sticker I'm starting to side eye them
My rich oral surgeon friend bought a Tesla really early on way before Elon showed us who he really was. My friend has a sticker on his Tesla S that says “I bought this before we knew he was crazy”.
But if you don’t have an anti elon sticker I’m starting to side eye them
I don't have a sticker, only because I don't like stickers or badging on my vehicles at all. My Model 3 was early enough that they didn't even have the Dual Motor badging for them in stock. They brought the badging to me at some point about a year later when the Rangers came to a tire rotation in my yard, there wasn't even have a full Service Center here yet. I didn't have them actually install the badging, it's still in my glovebox. It's as low key as I can make the damned thing.
But that's a major contributing factor to my looking at alternative options now instead of when it's fully paid off in September. The swastikar is becoming a target, and I don't want to have to deal with shit just because Elon's a Nazi. Got a test drive setup next week for a Polestar 3, and if I fits and I likes, going to be looking at that probably, especially with their added discounts and bonus for leasing and currently owning a Tesla. Most other manufacturer vehicles I'd consider are at least 1-2 years away still, so a 27 month lease is just about perfect for filling that gap, and making a decision then. Would still be less than I'm paying for my Model 3 with those discounts.

There's tesla buyers who dont even know who musk is or what he does/owns. I dont know who owns BMW, Ford, Volkswagen etc. People could easily decide to buy a tesla and not know.
And using hate to fight hate isn't always the best, these maga fucks will just use it as fuel for their regime, embarassing them is a much better way, stickers etc sure, but you shouldnt be physically violent to the person.

Citation??
Or, you just guessing based on the sentence that follows... 🤔
I'd bet significant money that 99.999% of rational car-buying adults know the relationship Musk/Tesla. 🤷♂️
The internet isn't real life.
How surprised were you at the last few US elections? Tells you everything you need to know about how uninformed the majority is.

Yeah just like thousands of civil servants are "embarrased" of losing their jobs. Just like judges are "embarrased" that the executive branch is ignoring their rulings. Just like millions of Ukrainians are "embarrased" of losing their home. Get over your fucking self... we are at war.

I think that's an overkill approach to convince us to not buy a Tesla.
