While it's nice to protest outside of the Tesla dealership, people should be protesting outside of US embassies, and while they are at it, protest outside of the Chinese and Russian embassies too. Block them in.

People are doing. But embassies tend to be in capital cities but Tesla dealerships are everywhere.

At this point I expect to see them abandoned on the side of the road with a "Just take it" sign over the engine

Saw a Tesla today that someone stuck an old Rover badge on, cracked me up

Soon it can be scrapped for steel and you could make money off buying them.

I'm not sure they're going to be able to give those things away.

Seems to me, at this point, this is a bit like owning anything with a swastika on it in 1946.

Everytime I see our local cyber truck I hope someone vandalizes it.

I know this the unpopular opinion at the moment, but what electric sedan is better than a model 3? The rest of the producers have all decided we want to drive crossovers or boxes and simply cannot figure out how to make a frunk.

Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.

White people are selling, Indians are buying. Every Indian neighbor I have owns at least one Tesla

I have one that’s nearly 7 years old, fully paid for and still works well. I hate having to own any car and environmentally, the best car is the one you already have. Getting an equivalent car at a reduced trade-in price would cost 20k and I would do it on principle if I could afford to.

BMW and Mercedes both supported Nazi’s during the holocaust and I believe they should receive the same treatment but it’s been the better part of a century and they’re still here. I’d go so far as to argue that cars are just consumerized war vehicles that a civil society has limited use for given the potential benefits of mass transit.

Oil companies bribed and lobbied against clean, efficient, exciting transit decades ago and were all poorer for it.

How is it in any way relevant what German car makers were doing 80+ years ago? Unless you also think all modern-day Germans should be "cancelled".

Apart from that I agree, the American car lobby has been terrible for public transport development and green energy
