I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.

I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

    I’m just gonna be blunt. And I mean exactly what this sounds like.

    There is NOTHING negative you can do to a Nazi lover that could possibly be construed as immoral.

    Illegal, sure (in this current farce of government). But every dead Nazi is good for the world. Bar none, no exclusions. I wanna see Nazi corpses everywhere. I wanna see clips of them suffering before their deaths. Comeuppance is such a delicious beverage. The tears of the wicked can wash anything down.

    They can’t be reformed, and everything they do would be suspect for the rest of their lives. You can’t negotiate with them, either.

    I’m just gonna stop here. I probably got on at least 3 watch lists for this comment.

    I’ll just pose a question: What has being moral done for us lately?

    the hypersuck swasticar is a death machine that should not be allowed on the road to begin with (and isn’t in relatively sane countries). vandalism is getting off too easy imo. the appropriate response is to total the car but that’s not practical. or maybe you can just spray some water on it and it explodes or something idk

    Older Teslas- no, Cybertrucks - absolutely yes.

    Everyone who bought a Cybertruck knew exactly the kind of person they were buying from and made that concious choice

    Absolutely moral. Convincing owners to not drive them may save a life as well

    This is stupid. If you are going to vandalize a car for ideological reasons at least pick one you know what the person is thinking. Not every Tesla driver agrees with Musk. Most actually do not. There are plenty of jacked up MAGA trucks with hate stickers that can be vandalized if you insist on vandalizing a vehicle.

    IOS 18.3 has starlink connectivity so don’t forget to destroy all the iphones you see. Clearly all those iphone users support Musk.

    I’d say no, it’s not moral, but at the same time, I wouldn’t be upset to see it happening more often. Get photos.

    Personally, no. Most people probably brought their cars before Musk went totally nuts, or they simply didn’t know. Plus, not everyone can just get rid of their car because of the CEO of the company that made it.

    TBH, you’re only really hurting the owner, and you don’t know their situation necessarily unless you’re in close contact with them all the time.

    Plus Teslas have security cameras.

    It’s generally a bad idea.

    That’s just writing in dirt. A prank as old as cars. Totally fine.

    If you want to go further that’s up to you.
