multiple is not enough.

Tesla will simply give the people new vehicles. If one wants to really hurt Tesla, don't buy them.

Oh no! they should be dismantled instead of burned. Some of those electric motors could be put into better use.

Stick to the showrooms and dealers. The victims in Las Vegas was just owners who brought their cars in to be fixed.

Oh no!

Anyway...

Been thinking about this a lot. They can say it’s terrorism. History is written by the winners.

But…

Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal. If you rebel, you die a terrorist or live a hero. Not much middle ground.

Jan 6ers were pardoned, so by this logic all the car vandalisms are legal too.

Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal.

Sure, "we the people" control the government, so technically we can destroy it when we want. However, "we the people" also want a stable government that prevents the minority from ruining things for the majority.

So if you're going to rebel, you need be very careful that you're on right side, otherwise I think the rest are justified in calling you a terrorist.

"Trump administration looking to categorize Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism" Because Republicans are cowards without principles who can never even think of opposing him.

Problem with setting Teslas on fire is we can't know if it's an act of protest or if they just did that on their own.

The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.

In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

Could be insurance fraud too.
