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 agree with the first part of your statement but I don’t think damaging other people’s property is justified in this case…

    I understand people wanting to do anything that can stop the attack on our government and rule of law, but not seeing how destroying cyber trucks is a tactical move.

      I don’t think that there is a tactical thought to people wanting to vandalize Teslas. I think that there is a true sense of helplessness on not being able to do anything to stop these fuckers. So in in the place of something more substantial the anger and frustration is being taken out on something associated with musk

      Is it right? Probably not. Is it understandable, yes
