Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor’s office said Monday.
That’s a shame. /Seinfeld
Get these French folks to Grünheide ASAP!
Nice
The Americans: Leave a strongly worded note on the dashboard.
The French: Light that shit up!
It’s true, the French are much better at revolution than Americans.
No! Now they can write them off on their insurance! They needed to have them languish unsold taking up retail space for years and learn to regret their purchase.
Naa their insurance rate is going to go through the roof! Or at least on fire.
The French get shit done, unlike weak Americans.
France is literally protesting better than the USA over our own issues…
It’s because your issues are everyone’s issues.
Yeah - I just wish our leaders (Democrat ones) would call for protests at least. It would help. Instead we twiddle our thumbs as our institutions are destroyed. I haven’t heard of a single protest for the tariffs today that nobody wants but Trump and Putin…
All Tesla dealerships are all directly owned by Tesla, right?
I believe so yes https://www.cato.org/regulation/summer-2014/tesla-car-dealers-lobby
Nice.
No, Toulouse!

Ba dum tss!
Get the nazi traitors and Putin assets out of Europe. Or at least their businesses.
That second sentence isn’t needed. Get Nazis and Putin assets out of Europe.
I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.
I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.
I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.
That’s what I’ve heard.
The insurance premiums of the commercial ones will increase by a lot of this happens too much.
In my country private insurance is way higher on Teslas than other models already, apparently a mix of them being valuable, high risk of accident/theft, and impossible to repair from small fender benders driving cost of replacements up.
Or removing its windshield wiper (its the giant stick on one side of the windshield)
Couldn’t they just put a new one on easily?
Apparently they are only purchasable through Tesla directly, and are severely backordered.
Not surprising, its a stupid and nonstandard design, one giant wiper for the whole damn windshield on a single hinge at the corner.
It’s on the drivers side if you want to make it quicker and spend less time near the camera riddled surveillance-mobiles.
Unrelated note: Covid is still out there and masking is a good way to mitigate spread of disease.
Don’t forget to wear your examination gloves so you don’t touch infected surfaces…
Remember proper washing procedures when changing gloves.

He was a shady fuck many years ago. They got played and now they gotta deal with it.
Up to a point. No cybertruck owner has any excuse.
Cybertrucks for sure
Bitch Musk has been an asshole for longer than a fucking decade, get your head out of your ass

Yes it was. But you weren’t listening.

Yes it was lmao
Yeah they’ve only had like a decade to figure that out
That’s entirely orthogonal to the point of their comment

Yes, and?
Smh you should tell that to the fools in the thread about the lady in Colorado. They seem quite oblivious to this
Why would I tell anyone? I’m not condoning any action of vandalism at all. It’s only what I’ve heard.
Now that you’ve heard it too, you can tell others what you’ve heard without condoning it either.
A dozen? That’s it? They can do better than that.
In before the shit lobs start crying about how you’re only hurting the poor working class Tesla dealership owners, not Elon himself.
It’s already here.
I’ve seen assholes right here on lemmy decrying “I bought one before I knew he was a POS! How dare you imply I should sell it!”
Same fuckers crawl out of the woodwork to defend food delivery apps because “but some people need them!”
The reality is Americans are soft as fuck and are not ready for the hard times that are coming.
Good thing Tesla follows a direct sales model and their dealerships are really just company owned store rooms as opposed to some massive corporate go-between that’s “only there to protect customers” while inflating financing pricing to skim $$, bolting on overpriced accessories, etc. Those massive corporate interests that spent $80.8 million lobying for their existence in 2022 are surely here to help the little guy/gal.
Once again the French demonstrate that they know how to raise hell.
We need to get more like the French.
There was a post here the other day asking if vandalism was OK because someone wrote something with their finger on a muddy swasticar.
Now this is vandalism. Or possibly an accident, batteries like to burn violently and Tesla isn’t known for build quality or safety…
Guess you haven’t seen https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39116529
Well, that’s a start.
Also, describing Molotov cocktails as “explosive devices” seems just a little misleading.
