The 40-year-old suspect, Lucy Grace Nelson, was arrested on Monday after the Loveland Police Department launched an “extensive investigation” following a series of vandaIizations at the dealership in Loveland, Colorado.

    Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don’t blow up or damage Tesla’s at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can’t sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can’t sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can’t sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.

    Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That’s the real way to fuck em.

      Well, some dealerships should be blown up to ensure that all of them have insurance and that insurance is expensive.

      In the eyes of the law a Molotov cocktail carries the same penalties as a pipe bomb, both “unregistered Destructive Devices”. It’s the ATF’s bailiwick so it’s not unusual that the feds are involved, strictly speaking.

        Regarding Nazi property: if it can be turned against them, better; but if not, destruction is second-best.

        The loss of productivity and environmental damage of letting Nazis persist in any fashion far outweigh any value the objects hold on their own.

        The most value we can extract from that trash is the message it sends as it’s burning to the ground.

    That “reporter” should be fired for using such inflammatory language. Word play absolutely intended.

    It was’t explosives

    Nelson returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism

    Nelson was immediately arrested and booked into the Larimer County Jail after being charged with explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony, authorities said.

    What a fucking idiot. Possibly killing a bunch of employees who are likely just trying to get by ain’t the way to do this…

    Edit: wow, some of these comments are unhinged

      Yup the people working at the dealership are almost certainly just people showing up to a job. They aren’t inherently bad people and they ahpuldnt be murdered for needing to work for a living.

        This one has been involved in multiple incidents seemingly involving her. They also apparently have a security guard so non zero chance someone was working graveyard shift.

      I’m with you on this one. Elon’s a piece of shit but I feel like the Tesla hate is a bit misplaced. Not that I would drive one.

        I own a Tesla (2018). Elon is the brand. CT is very much his napkin design made real. He’s fired everyone that pushes back on him and runs the company as a vanity project.

        The hate is not misplaced, until Elon is removed as the CEO I’ll not own another one. Even though I think they are some of the better evs on the market.

        It’s literally what gives him his power. If he didn’t own such a large portion of Tesla, he’d not have been able to buy his way into looting our government

        why? tesla still represents the core of his wealth and once you’ve driven one, it’s also a ketamine trip into musky’s mind.

    I don’t have anything against sticking it to the man, but there are better ways to go about this.
