    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?

    1. Set them on fire.
    2. Claim that it's arson.
    3. File insurance claim.
    4. Profit.

        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.

          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.

            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.

                And ending production of the Swastitruk would help.

                    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.

                        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.

                                  Big thing is that people now know Telsa’s are not just sold by a loon, they’re a vandalism target. Which is two pretty big reasons no to buy a car from Musk.

                                  Even if you like Musk, do you want to have high insurance rates and spend time at the body shop?

                                  and spend time at the body shop?

                                  Fun fact: not only do Cybertrucks have bare stainless steel body panels, which are extremely difficult and expensive to repair because you have to bodywork them perfect since you can't use body filler, they have a frame made out of aluminum, which for various metallurgical reasons (work-hardening, forming a passivation layer that makes it much harder to weld, etc.) is also very difficult and expensive to repair.

                                  In that sense, you're probably less likely to spend time at the body shop with a Cybertruck because it's designed to be damn near disposable.

                                    Demonstrates to the American electorate that democrats celebrate and encourage criminal behavior. How does this help you win elections? Do you think an independent looks at this situation and thinks "Yes these are the people I want to be in charge." So shortsighted and childish.

                                      I know right? Imagine stirring everyone up into a frenzy and encouraging them to do something illegal in the name of politics. Like storming the capitol. Moron.

                                        As opposed to republicans that elected a 34 count felon, court-certified rapist, pedophile president? Party of law and order, am I right? Be glad that it's shitty, overpriced EVs they're targeting.
