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.

    A bit of a scary thought, not predominantly due to finger biting over those cars specifically. I’m just imagining the kind of violence we might inflict on each other in the coming years.

    For instance, pretend tomorrow’s headline is… oh , say:

    One third of 1% of all Teslas have been vandalized each day every day for the past week, and activists promised to maintain the strict schedule.

    How long would it take before we saw some significant White House action? And what might a social response look like in the streets? Would any Priuseses be safe?!

    overall?

    In the grand scheme, yet another darn distraction?

    499 other companies in the S&P 500 to worry about as well, and… other stuff :)
