    This is gonna be the thing that splits the left into “fuck yeah burn them” and “this is going too far” and then nothing will get done because we’ll focus too much on infighting. Can’t we all come together for something not stupid like destroying random people’s cars? If you’re going to take drastic measures, at least do something more productive. Throw a Molotov at your representatives’ cars instead. I have no tears for a burnt Tesla, but I wish people were using this energy to punish more deserving people in more meaningful ways. I’m still waiting on all those “Luigi copycats” people keep thinking are gonna appear

        I think the charging stations would be good. It’s not like they’re that useful for anyone not driving a tesla. Even when your non-tesla car can be used in one I’ve heard of people getting harassed by tesla drivers for doing so.

          Interesting idea!

          Hmm maybe. I’m not sure on the specifics. I thought other cars could use those and that’s why they sell those adapters.

          Also it sorta feels wrong to me, ngl. Like one should be hitting oil and gas infrastructure instead.

        Destroying unsold Teslas at least doesn’t hurt people who may have bought their cars just because at one point Tesla made the best EVs (not even close to the best cars, but definitely the best EVs in terms of powertrain and battery. A while ago, anyway). So there’s way less collateral damage and fewer people to alienate.

        There is one caveat though. The dealerships are probably insured and would financially be better off having the cars burn as nobody’s buying them right now. Though maybe if enough Teslas burn, Tesla dealers become uninsurable. Now that would put them out of business real quick.

        Additionally, if someone managed to somehow disable a Tesla factory without directly hurting the workers, that would bring tears of joy to many people. The workers themselves are just simple laborers though. It’s not like jobs are easy to come by right now and I’m sure plenty would leave if they could. So I hope nobody shoots up a factory with workers inside or something. Even leaving the moral implications of homicide aside, it would also instantly boost Elon and Tesla in a lot of people’s eyes if something like this happened.

        Fine by me, vandalizing a car that’s already been bought is where I think it gets pointless and counterproductive. Trashing the dealerships and corporate locations is great because the business is suffering, rather than a random person.

        Random peoples’ cars may not be getting burnt, but they are absolutely getting damaged by keying or spray paint or whatever. I know at least one owner who had something like that happen to them and they now fear for their family’s safety because of it. That’s not cool.

      I don’t know why but some leftists will just find the dumbest fucking hills to die on, while completely ignoring real causes that actually move agendas forward.

      Where is this energy in our unions and community groups? Where are these people in town halls and school board meetings? Where are the canvassers, the volunteers, the organizers?

      Stop burning cars and start doing some of the damned work you cowards. Invest in your community and show people you’re helpful and trustworthy instead of psychotic and destructive.

          I think well adjusted people participating in their communities and meaningful action are not burning cars.

      I’m fucking pissed at leftists who burn teslas. It’s an incredible waste of an electric car … It’s terrible for the environment. There’s better things to burn down if you want to create change

      Anyone who thought Luigi copycats would appear is coping and I’ve been saying that from the start. And I say that as someone who wishes they would.
