Multiple Teslas set on fire in Germany

You advise for solidarity by burning down cars of other regular people..
I advised the person claiming to be in a union to do their part and support unions, not union busters.
I advise solidarity with non-fascists by not supporting anything that puts money into a fascists pocket.
Personally I think targeting showrooms would be more effective but I'm 100% confident Evil Insurance Companies will make things right for the downtrodden Tesla owners and they can buy a new car. Judging by most people's reactions, at least a few won't buy a Tesla.

Because this is one of the only ways to attack a billionaire.
You’re not attacking a billionaire. You are attacking random private citizens.
-
no we don't. we want people to switch to public transit
No. Both can be true.
-
But you hurt the regular people way more.
They don’t care. They are psychopaths,
-
What? This has nothing to do with politics of the consumer. YOU haven't thought this through.
The point is to damage Musk. If you continue to use his products (rather than sell or scrap) then you are part of the problems.
This is true for cars, websites, AI, satellite connectivity etc.
You don’t get to decide who uses what product and commit vandalism acts if they choose differently than you.

Nah. The random private citizens get the insurance money. Premiums only go up for future Tesla owners.

I hadn't even considered that this is causing the used market to drop out. We could be urging people who otherwise couldn't or wouldn't to adopt EVs. Could turn the negative into a positive.
Nope the "activists" say, burn em all.
yes!!! This is a great thing for the Used Market, especially when considering that the longer you drive an ev (with eco friendly energy) the better the thing is for the planet! GO BUY USED EVs!!!!!
when you have Solar Power@Home (or biogas or whatever you can do to produce electric energy) a cheap used ev is the absolute best option when you need a car. -
Damn you’re actually crazy af

You would be attacking Musk. The users of the product get compensated. In fact, an insurance write off is a better financial option than the second hand market.

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.

No, you wouldn’t be attacking Musk, you are attacking random people.
If you want to attack Musk, then target his own properties, not random people’s; not that I condone violence either way.

Meh, they have insurance
some of them maybe? surely not all?
-
Who said anything about destroying cars¿? I am just talking about selling them. I do hope the people whose cars were burnt had insurance. Then they could claim that and use it to buy a better car from a non nazi manufacturer.
Granted, but I was just pointing out that the act of burning teslas isn't something that people do to "destroy cars so that Elon gets less money". Mussolini wasn't hanged upside down because his heels were stronger than his neck.

People are attacking Teslas future income stream.
That means they are attacking the current Tesla share price.
That means they are attacking Musk.
Normal people are compensated by insurance.
Future tesla owners will need to pay higher insurance premiums.

Why do I see this right after watching Retribution

You know people can attack Tesla’s future income stream simply by not buying a Tesla.
There’s no need to destroy random citizens private property and we already established they are not made whole by insurance.
It is naive to think insurance prices will only rise for future Tesla owners.
If I disagree with something you do, that does not justify me destroying your private property.

Tesla owners should upgrade quickly.

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.

So sell the Telsa if that is a worry.

If only Teslas are vandalised then only that brands premiums are affected.
-

All cars are required to have insurance in most European countries, Germany included. Not sure if collateral damage by vandalism is covered by default, but most of the time you are covered against any damage that you yourself didn't cause, so I assume it is covered.

It’s not because we value the wrong thing. It’s because of basic laws that protect us all.
How could they be reclaimed? They are owned by somebody who legally owns them. Unless the owner is found guilty of something that entitles the government to take possession then there’s no legal way to do that.
If someone is going to reclaim it illegally they’re also not going to use that money to help people. You don’t get many Robin Hoods so the criminals that do it are most likely to keep the proceeds for themselves.

Keep in mind this article is about Teslas in Germany, where expropriation is legal if a judge deems it to be for the greater good. But that's only really possible in theory and thus far doesn't happen in practice
