I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.
I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.
I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.
But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.
Defacing is vandalism yes.
It’s not defacing to clean someone’s car, even partially.
de·face /dəˈfās/ verb gerund or present participle: defacing spoil the surface or appearance of (something), for example by drawing or writing on it.
I dunno this isn’t really what I wanted the thread to be about.
Do you think that removing the dust spoils the appearance?
I don’t know what you expected the thread to be about when you gave an example of “wiping dust off a car” and treated it the same as “scraping the paint off with a box cutter”. You picked an example that just begs for quibbling over severity.
I intentionally chose an example that would lead to fence sitting. Some people’s vehicles are getting literally destroyed lol
Then you should have chosen a picture where the truck is actually defaced/vandalized with spray paint or the like, not some ambiguous dust tracing, that you have to spend time insisting is defacing.
I should have posted without an image in retrospect.
