      You’re not attacking a billionaire. You are attacking random private citizens.

          Not everybody has insurance that covers vandalism. Most people have a deductible they need to pay before the insurance kick in. You are forcing people to take time out of their day to take the car to the shop for repairs and/or have to deal with long administrative tasks.

          Premiums would not only go up for future Tesla owners.

            Not everybody has insurance that covers vandalism.

            Tesla owners should upgrade quickly.

            Most people have a deductible they need to pay before the insurance kick in.

            True. However the main financial impact on current Tesla owners is the falling 2nd hand market price. Current owners are already losing out. Nothing can be done about that.

            You are forcing people to take time out of their day to take the car to the shop for repairs and/or have to deal with long administrative tasks.

            So sell the Telsa if that is a worry.

            Premiums would not only go up for future Tesla owners.

            If only Teslas are vandalised then only that brands premiums are affected.

      Specifically his ego, Musk is such a weakling that he sees ANY attack on Tesla as an attack on himself. That may be the point basically using the cars as proxy but the fact he legit gets so upset about it means it’s working. Also as I need to remention Musk is such a fucking weak little bitch that he gets sad when folks burn something his company produces.

          Premiums going up will hurt regular people more than Musk. Hurting your fellow countrymen is such a lefty thing to do…

            It will only hurt people who continue to own Teslas when they renew their insurance. They are part of the demographic supporting Musk, so fuckem.

              Yeah conservatives were totally the largest market for EVs before Musk took the mask off, right? You people truly have not spent even a microsecond thinking this through.

                What? This has nothing to do with politics of the consumer. YOU haven’t thought this through.

                The point is to damage Musk. If you continue to use his products (rather than sell or scrap) then you are part of the problems.

                This is true for cars, websites, AI, satellite connectivity etc.

                  There’s no one to sell to and scraping would only hurt the people. Next time try to use your brain.

                    This only hurts the people who own a tesla long term.

                    If they can’t scrap or sell then an insurance write of is the best way to reclaim the value.

                  You don’t get to decide who uses what product and commit vandalism acts if they choose differently than you.

                    You would be attacking Musk. The users of the product get compensated. In fact, an insurance write off is a better financial option than the second hand market.
