I REALLY want to talk to one of those right wing tools who used to go around tampering with recharge stations and rolling coal on Teslas. See what they've been up to lately
Oh no! DO NOT throw things at Teslas from the sides, as the cameras won't see you. DO NOT conceal your face while throwing a molotov cocktail, which would make it pretty much impossible to catch you unless someone follows you.
Just put on a maga hat and Trump shirt and cover your face.
Half of trump supporters hate electric vehicles anyway so it won't even be out of character for one of them.
It's tempting. I nearly got hit by one that was in the bike lane. there's two places where people use the bike lane as a turn lane, but the car lane already was a forced turn lane. The tesla driver is the only one that honked at me.
I see a lot of the before elon was crazy bumber stickers too but really tesla drivers seem to have a minimum amount of shitty disregard for anyone else's safety. At the very least fuck anyone who bought in after he called the diver a pedophile for rescuing the kids manually before he could build his fantasy submarine.
That was the turning point, wasn't it.
to the extent I was paying attention, that was the first really troubling thing apart from his lineage and obscene wealth
Sucks for owners that bought before he was clearly a shitty person. Insurance was already higher for them because there was a value premium. Now used ones sell for less than competing models but they still have to pay higher insurance.
A lot of unlucky car service people in my area invested in the sedans.
Aren’t they insured by Tesla because no other insurance company will touch them?
Another such article: https://insideevs.com/news/753730/tesla-insurance-vandalism-elon-musk/

A bit more info with some sourced cases.
Many such cases
Yeah it'll do that
More! MOOOORE!!!
Hell yeah.
Just saying that in the unfortunate event of a write-off accident the insurance providers for Tesla owners might replace their car with a non-Tesla if they request it.
