Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor’s office said Monday.
No! Now they can write them off on their insurance! They needed to have them languish unsold taking up retail space for years and learn to regret their purchase.
Naa their insurance rate is going to go through the roof! Or at least on fire.
All Tesla dealerships are all directly owned by Tesla, right?
A dozen? That’s it? They can do better than that.
In before the shit lobs start crying about how you’re only hurting the poor working class Tesla dealership owners, not Elon himself.
Good thing Tesla follows a direct sales model and their dealerships are really just company owned store rooms as opposed to some massive corporate go-between that’s “only there to protect customers” while inflating financing pricing to skim $$, bolting on overpriced accessories, etc. Those massive corporate interests that spent $80.8 million lobying for their existence in 2022 are surely here to help the little guy/gal.
They must really hate that dealerships insurance company. I don’t think that even registeres with Elon.
To hurt them you have to strike closer to home.
The French get shit done, unlike weak Americans.
That’s how you boycott something
Nice.
No, Toulouse!
/s
Ba dum tss!
Get the nazi traitors and Putin assets out of Europe. Or at least their businesses.
That second sentence isn’t needed. Get Nazis and Putin assets out of Europe.
Oh no. Anyways
France is literally protesting better than the USA over our own issues…
It’s because your issues are everyone’s issues.
Yeah - I just wish our leaders (Democrat ones) would call for protests at least. It would help. Instead we twiddle our thumbs as our institutions are destroyed. I haven’t heard of a single protest for the tariffs today that nobody wants but Trump and Putin…
Ooooh, lithium fires
Antifa colors.
I don’t support contributions to environmental damage caused by fires. I love the idea that Tesla cars are destroyed. It’s a conundrum.
That said, I like this more than I dislike it.
People can hold contradictory beliefs at the same time
I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.
I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.
I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.
That’s what I’ve heard.
The insurance premiums of the commercial ones will increase by a lot of this happens too much.
Or consider that people may have bought them well before Musk came out of the gate as a full scumbag. I know people who bought them when evs were still a new thing and they were just being green and cutting edge.
Up to a point. No cybertruck owner has any excuse.
Cybertrucks for sure
Bitch Musk has been an asshole for longer than a fucking decade, get your head out of your ass
It wasn’t widely publicized. Learn how to communicate btw.
Yes it was. But you weren’t listening.
Yes it was lmao
Yeah they’ve only had like a decade to figure that out
That’s entirely orthogonal to the point of their comment
I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas.
Yes, and?
Or removing its windshield wiper (its the giant stick on one side of the windshield)
Couldn’t they just put a new one on easily?
Apparently they are only purchasable through Tesla directly, and are severely backordered.
Not surprising, its a stupid and nonstandard design, one giant wiper for the whole damn windshield on a single hinge at the corner.
Smh you should tell that to the fools in the thread about the lady in Colorado. They seem quite oblivious to this
Why would I tell anyone? I’m not condoning any action of vandalism at all. It’s only what I’ve heard.
Now that you’ve heard it too, you can tell others what you’ve heard without condoning it either.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been happening in the US
They just catch fire sometimes, so it’s hard to tell.
I think there’s a better way to link Lemmy posts, but I don’t know how to fix it.
