Ohhhhhh nooooooooooo! Let me grab my very tiny violin.
Spontaneous combustion
Oh no. Anyways.
Stock gone, carry on
In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”
OK buddy.
It’s not terrorism. They were just peacefully touring the dealerships. Just like January 6. Peacefully touring.
The cars suck, but he's right that the company hasn't done anything to deserve this. He's the one who chose to make himself the face of Tesla, though, so however people feel about him, they'll feel about any business he owns.
Terrorism, though? Hardly. It's protest. He's the one doing terrorism by dismantling the government.

"Evil attacks", like we're killing puppies, or something.
It's vandalism against machines, and the only victim here is the insurance companies.

if you know anything about who did it no you don't
It's obviously the MAGA crowd. They've spent years complaining about electric vehicles. They've just escalated that to burning them out. The police need to go have a nice chat with the rolling coal types.
Probably god's will or something. What's the pont of investigating.

We know that Teslas sometimes just catch fire on their own.
We also know that sometimes Tesla drivers will set their cars on fire themselves on purpose. Because of that...
We also know that Elon has a backdoor into all Teslas.
Now ask yourself which is more likely, the woke liberal crybabies actually causing violence or a drug addled and politically embattled CEO of a company that lost 50% of its value in the past 3 months creating a false flag to villainize the left and get insurance to cover damage to the vehicles he can't sell?
/s (kind of)
Didnt the Nazi party burn down the Reichstag and blame it on the other party?
They blamed it on the communist party, yes. There were 8 parties represented in the Reichstag at the time though.

If unsold teslas catch fire, i'm convinced it's some insurance scam. A car sold and a car gone that they can't fix anyway

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