Largest case of insurance fraud from an automaker**

[-] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Is Tesla sabotaging their own cars in order to commit insurance fraud?

[-] leadore@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The damage included "deep scratches and punctured tires."

That's it? Y'all Canadians are so polite.

[-] misteloct@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

American here, careful Canadians you're walking on thin ice. We're about to beg for your eggs while kneeling rather than grovelling on the floor. I'm fucking serious, we won't pay a dime more than $1 per egg. Pretty please. This is your last warning.

Aura Carreño Rosas is a Hamilton-based reporter from Venezuela, with a passion for pop culture and unique people with diverse journeys.

What??? A Venezuelan who hasn't been rounded up, deported and slung into in a third world concentration camp without even the pretense of due process?!?

Come on Canadia, is that really the kind of country you want to live in???

Dumb ass American here. Does Canada's prime minister or some other official have the same kind of pardon power our president does? Because they could do something pretty cool right now.

When Trump said he'd prosecute tesla vandals "with the full force of the law" it really highlights the unequal enforcement in our system. Its like saying "I'm going to turn on law enforcement right now just for this issue". He clearly does not believe in laws or law enforcement, or else he'd see how absurd a statement it was.

This and their dismantling of the EPA, IRS, FBI, and justice system shows that republicans are soft on crime, soft on the legal system in general, and disrespectful of law enforcement, except insomuch as they can be used as personal storm troopers for issues they care about-- usually to promote racism and class stomping of the poors.

Republicans are soft on America, but rock hard for Russia. I hope republican voters are proud.

How does the saying go? The core principle of conservatism is there are people the law binds but does not protect, and people the law protects but does not bind?

Or, another similar insight: liberals judge actions as good or bad and judge people by their actions. Conservatives judge people as good or bad and judge actions by the person performing them.

What Trump realized is he doesn't have to even pretend to enforce the laws objectively. Conservative Americans want selective enforcement. They want the government to go after liberals and leftists and minorities with the full voice of the law. They want law enforcement to ignore conservative crimes and hunt down liberal crimes, because conservatives are good people so their mistakes can be forgiven, but liberals are bad people so they must be guilty of something.

And that's where Biden fucked up. He had the FBI go after Trump relentlessly for four years in the belief that, if he could find enough bad actions Trump did, he could discourage conservatives from supporting him in 2024. What he didn't realize is, Trump's supporters would never condemn any crimes Trump committed, because they believe Trump is a good person and therefore what he does isn't a crime.

All Biden did was give Trump an excuse to send his FBI after his political enemies too. And Trump and his supporters are happy to use that power far more widely than Biden did.

Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn't he say Canada isn't a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did...

[-] leadore@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Teslas are not real cars

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Wow. He actually deleted a Tweet? He usually stands by all the stupid shit he's said, proudly at that.

[-] AizawaC47@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

Of course he would have deleted it, so nice capture! And thanks for sharing. What a loser manchild -Elon

vandalism

Surely you mean "terrorism"!

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Awe shucks. I could not stoop to vandalism and destruction of the shitty neo-Nazi BEVs. I would prefer the vehicles to be unsold and collect dust until Tesla enters bankruptcy. Tesla, himself, must have flipped in his grave several times.

Nah. Tesla would be alternating in his grave.

Tesla could solve most of their problems by firing Musk. Any other public company whose CEO makes a very public Nazi salute would fire that CEO.

Yes, he'd still be a large shareholder, but I think simply getting him out of the company would give a lot of people the sense that he faced some personal consequences for his actions, and that any companies who deal with Musk will also face consequences.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 86 points 3 days ago

We should give Elon more billions as an interim bonus instead.

It's believed to be the largest vandalism in Canada against vehicles from the U.S.-based car company.

This strikes me as an odd qualifier.

Have there been larger vandalism incidents in Canada against vehicles from companies based in countries outsides the states?

In the words of Duke Nukem, "Hail to the king baby"

The king being us, the people, who outnumber the billionaires, the billionaires who can still bleed.

And if it bleeds we can kill it.

At this point it is most likely that it’s the dealerships themselves trying to burn these for the insurance.

Tesla's aren't selling?

  1. Set them on fire.
  2. Claim that it's arson.
  3. File insurance claim.
  4. Profit.
