    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.

    You sound like a conservative plant lamenting the so-called peaceful liberals, you’ve been sold a lie

        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.

        Although, since most people seem to be keying, spray painting, and putting stickers on these cars, the stainless is very easy to clean. Just rub some steel wool in the direction of the stainless grain. Apparently they don’t have any clear coat. You can clean them like an industrial stovetop.

          Yeah, the damage would have to physically displace (i.e. dent) or chemically corrode the surface of the panel in order to be difficult to fix.

                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.

                There is a different view to your statement. We live in a democracy and we had an election where the citizens chose a felon, Nazi, dictator over your side. They would rather have a court certified rapist in charge than you. Just think about that and understand how repulsive and out of touch you have to be for that to happen. This effort to destroy Tesla is only hurting your cause. It is counterproductive, childish, and small. It's almost like you want MAGA to win the next election.

                  It won't.. they will bail it ot with taxpayer money.
                  Like it or not every US citizen will buy some Telsa stock (but never own it).
                  Capitalism for thee, but communism for me if the business fails.

                    Tesla's aren't selling?

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

                    Probably. Unfortunately side effect is it constantly reinforce in people, "wow people really hate teslas" and further damaging the brand. I find it hard to believe Canadians would due this kind of a thing. Not that they couldn't, i just have a hard time believing it.

                      Why would i be a conservative plant? I think America needs two viable political parties and presently one party cannot compete. Their interpretation of reality is questionable making them repulsive to normal people, which is why they won't vote for you.

                            Yes. High heat can cause the metal to corrode faster or even melt. (And, ya know, completely destroy the rest of the car.)

                                In the words of Duke Nukem, "Hail to the king baby"

                                The king being us, the people, who outnumber the billionaires, the billionaires who can still bleed.

                                And if it bleeds we can kill it.

                                    The damage included "deep scratches and punctured tires."

                                    Probably about the same as any other car.

                                      From the article. A quick polish and a time swap and they're as good as new.

                                        I'd imagine that they'll be more expensive to insure in the future if they are getting targeted en masse.

                                          It is obviously liberal burning down charging stations, spray painting swastikas, and throwing molotov cocktails. With Democrat politicians celebrating and encouraging the behavior. Im not framing it's reality.
