No worries tesla owners of lemmy: your president is addressing your biggest concern
White Mass shootings ≠ terrorism
Destroying some Asshole’s cars = terrorism
Tesla > lives
Insurance does not cover terrorist acts.
If Tesla vandalism = terrorism.
Then Insurance pay = 0
I could see Teslas being considered weapons of mass destruction based on how difficult it is to extinguish fully-charged Li-ion battery fires, or have they changed the chemistry and electrolyte to something less dangerous by now?
Torching a Tesla: terrorist. Murdering innocent school children: thoughts and prayers.
Americans are getting dumber by the second at this point.
Corporations over people. Capitalism over community. That is the American way.
If domestic terrorism is such a focus why’d they shutter their KKK and White Nationalist investigations and kill their metadata tracking tool?
Because they’d arrest 90% of the government if it continued.

I wonder if Putin would hire some thugs to vandalize Teslas. He did just that with fossil fueled cars in Germany and blamed climate activists

Well, he is so close, would he just realize he is just projecting…
Don’t insurance companies exclude acts of terrorism?
It varies, but a general rule of thumb is that any personal insurance (home, life, auto, boat, whatever) will pay out for a terrorist attack but commercial policies (property insurance, loss of revenue, workers comp, etc) won’t unless they specifically pay for terrorism coverage. That said, even the personal insurances will generally have exceptions for war and mass scale destruction (e.g. nukes).
Which mostly boils down to the reality of any kind of insurance policy: In isolated cases, they’ll pay out. The bigger the incident, the more they will fight it and the more likely they are to pull out of a region.
Which is kind o a moot point since many/most auto insurers already refuse to deal with teslas due to their high repair costs and other fun stuff that they pretend isn’t a factor but totally is (the tendency for a car on “full self driving” to plow into oncoming traffic milliseconds after “full self driving” was logged to have been disengaged by the user).
Which is the other “secret” in all this “Won’t somebody think of the tesla drivers?!?!!?” stupidity. Yeah, teslas were often very competitively priced in their categories (in large part because of government subsidies that only musk was eligible for). But the moment you try to get insurance for the tesla you are going to take ownership of in one or two business days? You suddenly are shunted to a special insurer with higher rates and anyone with half a brain would raise DOZENS of red flags at that.
They also won’t cover 3 out of 4 tires getting slashed but that’s neither here nor there.
There’s a real simple solution if your insurance won’t cover 3 out of 4 of your tires getting slashed.
Fun fact: insurance doesn’t cover terrorism. Do with that what you will.
Wait - headline unclear. Are they calling the task force domestic terrorism?
I believe this party runs on the domestic terrorism base? That was a campaign slogan.
You’ve shown us that you can bleed. That you fear us.
As a wise man once said, “If it bleeds, we can kill it.”
No it isn’t.
So stupid. I don’t want my tax dollars used for this.
Don’t worry. ThEyRE DrAINiNg ThE SWaMP!
We’ll all have so much money back in our wallets soon that we’ll be able to afford eggs again!
I wonder if anyone ever warned about the terror laws being abused?
Let me think…Oh yeah, now I remember, there was, and I was one of them.
Wow. Maybe they’ll drag their heals on that the way they’ve dragged their heals for 10+ years on Trump being a Russian asset.
