80 Teslas damaged at Hamilton dealership, largest car vandalism reported in Canada against the U.S. company | CBC News
-
The dealership has insurance and destroyed cars are like sold cars for Te... that company. Or am I missing something?

It’s not about the cars. It’s about what a powerful billionaire is doing to people.
Targeting the cars is just a way to discourage Telsa ownership, tank the stock, and give Musk less power and leverage. A lot of his power comes from his ability to borrow against Tesla.
For the past 100 years car dependency has been the sole reason for the destruction of the working class. Henry Ford the Nazi, combined with conspirators in the US government, bulldozed low income neighborhoods to build highways and create suburban utopias for rich white folk.
Car dependency is a disease which needs to be cured.

Ok, but the point still remains. This vandalism isn’t about the cars. It’s about taking money out of a billionaire’s pocket. People would be vandalizing Starlink satellites if they could reach them.
It’s not about the cars, the cars and stores are just an accessible target. This is about Musk and DOGE.

Does Tesla use dealerships in Canada? In the U.S., they don’t. They have showrooms owned by the company itself and you order online. My state requires dealerships^1^ and just have service centers here.
^1^ It’s a wildly antiquated law. When cars first came out, states passed laws requiring dealerships to guarantee the car companies could service the vehicles. Those laws are still on the books basically because car dealership owners are generally rich people who buy state legislatures. (And there’s a shocking amount who are state legislators.)

At this point it is most likely that it’s the dealerships themselves trying to burn these for the insurance.
Tesla's aren't selling?
- Set them on fire.
- Claim that it's arson.
- File insurance claim.
- Profit.
-
The board is filled with family and close friends. They'll protect him as long as possible.
They'll lose the ship to save one expendable captain.
-
Tesla could solve most of their problems by firing Musk. Any other public company whose CEO makes a very public Nazi salute would fire that CEO.
Yes, he'd still be a large shareholder, but I think simply getting him out of the company would give a lot of people the sense that he faced some personal consequences for his actions, and that any companies who deal with Musk will also face consequences.
I wonder how much money firing him would cost. The initial pay package was a stupid $56 billion. They'd probably have to pay pretty much that amount, and then hire a new CEO still.

Hold my beer. *picks up rock
-
We should give Elon more billions as an interim bonus instead.
-The Tesla board, probably
Yep. The companies senior leadership are his family and loyalists, therefore the company is fascist and should be destroyed.
-
Couple of claims by a dealership and their insurance will get cancelled.
"So, you're saying we get one free claim for as many cars as we can burn in one night without loosing our insurance?" - Them, probably.

And ending production of the Swastitruk would help.

Make their insurance super high.

Even after losing 50% of their value their market cap is still ~750 billion. They’re still valued at nearly 3x what Toyota is, and leagues above any other auto manufacturer. Their investors won’t do anything until they lose way more value, sadly.

I wonder what the insurance premium on a Tesla is these days?
-

If they're so determined to protect their Nazi captain, perhaps they deserve to lose the ship.

I don't hear Alex Jones screaming about inside jobs.
Probably because he's way too far up EMu's ass.

On one hand, that might indeed satisfy a lot of the public. On the other hand, we ought to consider that a bad outcome because the real goal should be to tank TSLA to the point that Musk's holdings no longer suffice as collateral and he's forced to sell Xitter.

He's still around? Whatever happened to people knowing when to call it quits and leave everyone's lives... I swear, ever since the 2000's and onward people just kind of stick around forever now. Guess that's another awful side effect of the internet.

Id rather just see Tesla burn to the ground.
