    People who bought Tesla cars before Elon bought an election should not be harassed.

    A vehicle is for the decade, at minimum. Affording a switch is not something that can be assumed. This isn’t the 90s, when regular people turned over a lease, or a purchase, every 3 years, ish.

    There’s also a commitment to electric once a charging station is installed at your home.

    My last vehicle lasted almost 15yrs.

      Nope. Protesting is meant to be disruptive. Making tesla owners uncomfortable is the only way to take elon down.

        You think Elon gives a fuck about Tesla owners? He is swimming tax payer dollars for his other ventures. Military and space $$ dwarf car sales. He doesn’t give two shits about Tesla and knows other companies are going to take away most of his market share.

        That’s why all the new shit promised is not happening. It’s not being funded.

          He borrows against Tesla all the time, it would at least inconvenience him to not have convenient collateral for huge loans.

        Crazy take. You dont have agency to address real issues (money in politics, correctly taxing gains, lack of good leadership and social infrastructure) so lets lash out at other wage earners who have more in common with you.

          Does that apply to strikes too? 'Crazy take. You don’t have agency to address real issues (setting wages) so let’s lash out at other wage earners (customers) who have more in common with you.

            Interesting point. I thought about this a little and I suppose what separates a strike from this would be what is an organized opposition to a system vs. a targeted attack on individuals.
