I don’t think this has been a local phenomenon either; my impression is that people are doing this nationally.

    It would be terrible for Elon if people started vandalizing all the Tesla showrooms across the country.

      Who knew that applying the ol’ Foxworthy format could help the whole world brainstorm better?

      If, people started vandalizing all the Tesla showrooms across the country, it’d be terrible for Weelon.

      Or just all the Tesla’s, in general.

      I have no sympathy for the owners at this point. It was time to sell years ago. I saw an accident the other day between a cyber truck and a model s… You could hear the laughter and cheering from everyone in traffic.

        I’m currently driving a loaner Tesla….got yelled at charging it today to “sell your stupid fuckin car!!”

        I’m fine with having no sympathy, but the harassment and calls for vandalism I’ve seen on some posts is a little extreme.

        Would it be asking too much to direct the criticism at Tesla themselves? Not everyone can afford to get out of the car they’re driving (or like me, are driving one due to circumstance), and being an asshole to them isn’t productive.

        For the record, I hate this car.

        I bought the absolute cheapest model and had to stretch my budget a little in order to do it

        I looked to sell mine about 2 years ago, but the resale on it was so bad, I just couldn’t afford it.

        I have to settle for just never buying another Elon product, even preferring 3rd party chargers instead of superchargers. And maybe get one of those bumper stickers

        Why? After you’ve bought it, selling doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t really hurt tesla or more importantly musk. That’s just virtue signaling of the highest order

          Sure it does. Someone who might have put nore money in teslas pockets puts it in the resellers instead. Its one less sale for tesla
