Electric car buyers don’t like right-wing politics. This means Elon Musk’s position at Tesla is very vulnerable and susceptible to economic pressure.

I’m legitimately happy that they’re offering such good financing deals. Now I could actually buy one. That means that every day I get to wake up and actively choose not to buy a Tesla. Thanks Elon!

How satisfying it would be to see a boulder slowly running over that lot, propelled by the explosions of crushed cars behind it

"No, do not destroy cars and Tesla dealerships! A protest becomes popular when it has the clear moral high ground."

I'm glad the author calls that out. The average Lemmy user should take it to heart cuz there are some threads here that are all about vandalizing and taking pride in that.
