Oh no. Anyways.
if you know anything about who did it no you don’t
Probably god’s will or something. What’s the pont of investigating.
We know that Teslas sometimes just catch fire on their own.
We also know that sometimes Tesla drivers will set their cars on fire themselves on purpose. Because of that…
We also know that Elon has a backdoor into all Teslas.
Now ask yourself which is more likely, the woke liberal crybabies actually causing violence or a drug addled and politically embattled CEO of a company that lost 50% of its value in the past 3 months creating a false flag to villainize the left and get insurance to cover damage to the vehicles he can’t sell?
/s (kind of)
If unsold teslas catch fire, i’m convinced it’s some insurance scam. A car sold and a car gone that they can’t fix anyway
Given Elons history, it’s definitely possible.
Didnt the Nazi party burn down the Reichstag and blame it on the other party?
They blamed it on the communist party, yes. There were 8 parties represented in the Reichstag at the time though.
Insurance fraud due to slow sales
perfect. let’s see if all tesla dealerships do it
Don’t destroy Tesla cars, destroy the brand. Destroying Teslas means there’s fewer Teslas and that makes them more valuable/reduces the flooding of the market caused by people selling their cars. The goal is to annihilate Elon’s purchasing power to stop him from using it to implementing fascist governments around the world.
In fairness, I think the possibility that someone might light your car on fire is a stronger incentive to not buy a brand than internet posts making fun of the brand. It also means now they have to beef up security at all of the dealerships. Car sales are surprisingly impulse driven, hence the famous high pressure sales tactics, so it’ll be harder to get people in the door if they’re strip searching everyone and if they can’t have as much inventory on the lot, customers can’t drive home with the options they want so less impulse buying. Also full coverage insurance, required for financing, will get more expensive or even impossible to obtain which possibly means a massively decreased customer pool.
I think a better counter argument is the environmental damage caused by lighting all the cancer boxes on fire.
Do teslas even have options? Isn’t it just the battery pack and awd/rwd and then performance
I looked a few years ago when a friend of my partner got a Tesla a few years ago. Picking a color cost like €2000 or so.
Man, if I had the poor luck/foresight to have purchased a Tesla earlier, I would be driving like the politest mofo in existence these days.
I’d set it on fire and make an insurance claim.
Those damn leftists!
In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”
OK buddy.
It’s not terrorism. They were just peacefully touring the dealerships. Just like January 6. Peacefully touring.
The cars suck, but he’s right that the company hasn’t done anything to deserve this. He’s the one who chose to make himself the face of Tesla, though, so however people feel about him, they’ll feel about any business he owns.
Terrorism, though? Hardly. It’s protest. He’s the one doing terrorism by dismantling the government.
This is terrorism. Storming the capitol is clearly not.
The cars are poorly designed to the point of being dangerous. They deserve it a little.
The board needs to remove Elon today.
the board are his handpicked toadies that have him a bonus despite tesla losing money
yep. I don’t get why they haven’t. He’s tanking their shit badly.
They just paid fucking 60 billion dollars to him to keep him from quitting. Maybe a smidge of sunk cost fallacy.
Good. Let them drown with their sinking ship. They enabled his power grab in the first place and decided something as perverted and absurd as granting a single man $60 billion. Let this be a lesson in history books.
Sigh. Fuck Elon. I hope the piece of shit goes bankrupt. Probably wont happen though :/
If trump had lost the election, he would be in jail and Elon would have been destroyed. Instead, we got… this.
Did that actually get paid out? Last I heard the judge said no, multiple times.
Yep. There was another shareholder vote and he won it.
the honeymoon from the election is just wearing off.
Even if they do, protests and boycotts need to continue past it. A lot of his wealth is in Tesla stock, and he’s going to benefit from the shadows if the public moves on and TSLA recovers.
Can’t believe the Insurrection Act is gonna be used because of homie’s swasticars
they should amend this Wikipedia article to include teslas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_combustion
I have never, and will never, see anyone vandalize a Tesla. 🙈
Oh no. Anyway…
I have zero evidence Musk ordered the Tesla vandalism. Which, coincidentally, is exactly how surprised I’d be to find out he had.
Great way to get rid of rotting inventory and recoup costs through insurance.
I’d be surprised if he did. He sees Teslas as an extension of himself. Which is why it’s so very effective at upsetting him whenever people do stuff like this.
he almost cried on fox the other day.
I didn’t see nuffin
Tesla just likes building things that spontaneously catch on fire. 🤷♂️
“Resist” is a tired slogan of the paid-to-lose Democrats, and the last time I saw it surface as “angry-Leftist vandalism” in pluto-fash corporate media propaganda, it turned out to be a Republican trying to cover up insurance fraud. They are too incurious to understand the difference between antifa and liberals.
Kool-aid-drinking Tesla dealers are losing their shirts because Glorious Leader locked them into bad contracts and is now poisoning the brand; they have AMPLE incentive to destroy their own property and play victim.
As a reminder, Tesla is “direct to consumer” and the “dealership” is corporate owned!
So when the party of conspiracy theorists claims conspiracy against them, you can rest assured it’s a conspiracy by them.
But that’s what they’d say if the the tables were turned, so fuck 'em and their shit. I hope the insurance adjuster finds a way out and leaves them holding the bag.

Gasoline powered vehicles have to be sold through dealerships, but of course Musk doesn’t like to follow the law and nobody stops him. Just like how ‘ride shares’ pretended to be sharing rides but were just cabs with extra steps.
What…? Lots of vehicles are sold online without dealerships, where’s this an actual rule, let alone a law?
The laws are by state. You cannot buy a Tesla at a dealership in states where the law forbids it. They sell them online only in those states. That’s what happens when states don’t update laws.
I don’t care who burns 'em. So long as they’re burnt.
