      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.

          Maybe one day you will be on the receiving end of such despicable attacks on private citizens and only then you might change your mind.

          You do not get to dictate what cars people get to buy, nor what kind of insurance they must have. That is not how insurance works, premiums will go up for everyone.

          Besides, you tell people to sell their cars, while you acknowledge the big financial hit that would involve; who are they going to sell it to? Whoever buys it will also suffer from the vandalism you encourage.
