    Without justifying this really dumb act, because there’s no justifying it, […]
    How about we just don’t vandalize private property. That’s a good standpoint to build on.

    Wow, how unbased can an article get?

      Don’t worry, for others they say turning it on voids warranty

      the real crime here is this death trap being allowed on the road in the first place.

        Where is the morality in damaging people’s property that they worked to get with their hard earned money?

          Where is the morality in a 56 bil pay package when you have done more damage to the reputation of said company while fucking over the workers of said company.

            Protesting what exactly? Protesting for the sake of protesting is just meaningless. I still fail to see the morality here. What exactly is moral about vandalizing these cars?

            Also this notion that protests are only effective if they’re disruptive is a myth. If that was the case then the George Floyd Riots would’ve led somewhere or the pro Palestinian encampments would’ve led somewhere or all those climate protesters damaging historical monuments and art would’ve led somewhere or all those animal rights activists blocking streets would’ve led somewhere… but they haven’t. All they’ve done is lead people to resent them.

              Protesting what exactly?

              Protesting monster trucks becoming the default go-to vehicle to go run an errand or drive to work. You don’t need a “child-destroyer-3000: now Electric!” taking 3 lanes of width, weighing 20 tonnes, and occupying 4 parking spots, to go to your bakery or pick up the kids from school.

              What exactly is moral about vandalizing these cars?

              If certain vehicles end up costing more to manufacture/protect/repaint than the revenue upon sale, the company will stop manufacturing them. Same idea as deflating SUV wheels which are parked on the street: make lives for SUV drivers inconvenient so people won’t want an SUV.

              Also this notion that protests are only effective if they’re disruptive is a myth. If that was the case then the George Floyd Riots would’ve led somewhere or the pro Palestinian encampments would’ve led somewhere or all those climate protesters damaging historical monuments and art would’ve led somewhere or all those animal rights activists blocking streets would’ve led somewhere… but they haven’t. All they’ve done is lead people to resent them.

              “What did the resistance to Nazi occupation by the Polish people lead to? It didn’t work, genocide happened anyway, and all they did is making Nazis resent them”.

              I’m sure you’re aware that people engage in challenges they don’t know for certain they can achieve, right?

    tesla is not elon

    But they pay him tens on millions as a bonus for being an idiot

    Edit: yeah it’s billions. The amount of money they waste on this cocksucker is incomprehensible.

      Calling him a “cocksucker” is frankly insulting to people who perform the act of sucking cock. Musk is way too selfish to perform the generous and loving act that is fellatio.

      Billions. They paid him the same amount of money (as a bonus!) as Bill Gates had in total when he was the worlds richest person in 2007.

      after paying him tens of millions, they did it again a thousand more times because thousands of tens of millions is billions. tens of thousands of millions of dollars. It’s an insane amount of money.

    They missed a trick by using paint, when a spray of salt water would have done the job at one more subtly and more permanently

    @return2ozma Older Tesla’s one can give the owner the benefit of the doubt that they purchased it before Elon showed his true colours. No Cybertruck owner has that defence.

    They are lucky it’s just paint.

    I’m sure paint comes off ‘stainless’ steel real easy…

    Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.
