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.

    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

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    If you want to get punched in the face or face legal consequences, sure go ahead!

    As far as morality is concerned, no it’s not moral to vandalise the private property of a person who bought it through his hard earned money because you don’t like some billionaire.

    If you think you can stand up to fascism and perfectly respect property and act nice an moral all tge time you’re bloody useless.

    It’s not nice, but it will hurt Musks so it’s good thing. I won’t shed a tear for any one with Tesla money either.

    Its already pre-vandalized from the factory with that awful design. No need to kick a car when its down.

    But no, doing damage to other people’s property is not okay

    Only Cybertrucks. Someone who got a second-hand car four years ago didn’t buy-in to the current trend of fascism. But the cybertruck is new enough that if you bought it, you know what’s going on
