I read a great comment on here from someone that destruction of Teslas on a lot is not the right tactic or is not as effective because of they simply get replaced (and more get made) and paid for with insurance money.
I read that spray painting personal Teslas is great for spreading the fear in media so that people don't buy one in the first place and they sit unsold on lots.
The orgional person that said it was much better with the points than me. Did anyone else see it / can link it it?
Paint ball guns do some real damage to a cars finish. Happened to my car before Tesla existed and the paint sunk into the finish and was impossible to cover up.
In high-school some people froze their paintballs and it made dents. I would never suggest it.
Insurance isn't free.
It also becomes more expensive if some damaging event just keeps happening.
And then you take down the people insuring the Nazis and the Nazis
It gets more expensive regardless
Oh my gosh. It's the same tactic as getting rid of pigeons. You don't destroy the eggs, you make them unusable (plaster eggs). Because destroyed eggs are immediately replaced by the pigeons with functioning eggs.
Yeah but if you burn the whole showroom gonna be awhile before you can even buy more to sell more Teslas anyway. Which would be a huge disincentive to try to sell Teslas again anyway.
Tesla probably pays a lot more for insurance these days. Insurance companies are pretty evil, that works against Tesla in this case.
Id describe them more as accountants of life and death. They're the bad guys, but evil implies a moral concept that is foreign to those people. They just don't care about you or anyone else.
Yep, that's evil. Good thing I don't have to care what it thinks words mean.
