I own a tesla model y and am already looking at replacing it. Vandalizing my car won’t help me replace it. I am also never going to buy another tesla again. I would have loved a Rivian but their suv was 15k more without the super charging network.

The Elon Nazi salute didn’t happen until January 20th so 99% of tesla owners didn’t know he was a nazi when purchasing their cars.

Considering almost all car companies were caught up in the emissions scandals, I am pretty sure most people vandalizing other people’s cars, own a car from a car company that destroyed the environment for profits. It isn’t that easy to avoid companies that do shitty things.

Not advocating vandalism but tesla dealerships and showrooms make more sense as a target than individual owners.

I think vandalizing cyber trucks is funny, the cars not so much. You have to be so far up your own ass to buy the Cyber Truck you deserve anything coming to ya. The cars despite how much it annoys me most people missed the obvious Nazi for what he was up until the Sieg Hail

What is the point of doxing people for owning a Tesla? A lot of people bought their tesla way before Musk went full nazi.

Maybe we should focus on the person doing something wrong, which is Elon Musk.

Because too many people are frothing at the mouth for violence and don't have enough sense to realize that very obvious/important point.

Edit: In before "well they should just sell it then!!!1!"

  1. I'd imagine trade-in values for those right now are going to be pretty low.
  2. Not everyone can afford to do that, especially with car prices likely to rise due to tariffs.
  3. Interest rates aren't great if they have to finance the replacement car
  4. Everyone's life situation is different. An oversimplified "just do [blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you're a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized" isn't practical.
  5. Don't fuck with people's property.
[–] quack@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Also, who the fuck is going to buy a car that has a much higher than average chance of being vandalised or burnt out?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think we have a lot of external state actors trying to stir the pot even more than it already is.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 9 points 2 days ago

Guarantee it. Thought my block/ban button would get a break after the election was over, but looks like election season was just getting it warmed up.

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

An oversimplified "just do [blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you're a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized" isn't practical.

This right here. I agree that such people advocating these positions must be bad actors, but in case there are real people who think they alone hold the moral bar that everyone must clear: “Go fuck yourself.” Everyone has to start somewhere, and alienating those that are still learning is not helping.

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah, this shit isn't cool.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know two people who own Teslas and neither of their places is on the map. I suspect (and it is only a suspicion) that the map may only list cyber truck owners? Anyone know any Tesla/cyber truck owners they can check?

[–] MrGabr@ttrpg.network 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

None of the people I know who own Teslas (mix of pre-owned and bought new) are on here, but by poking around I did find a random person with a normal Tesla parked out front on Google street view, so it's not just cybertrucks.

I also sought out my partner's neighbor who has a cybertruck in the driveway every time I'm there, and that wasn't on there, so I have no idea where dogequest might be sourcing this info.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Thank you for the additional info!

[–] leauxhigh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So, only the newest one's?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, let's focus on that instead of the guy pillaging our government right now.

[–] leauxhigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you said, "before he went Nazi" so, I asked. I never condoned any behavior, you just made that assumption. How do you propose to go after Musk?

[–] quack@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

My answer to that question would probably have me put on a list somewhere so instead I'll just say that I hope he has the life he deserves.

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Maybe we should focus on Republicans. Not EV owners.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Why not let people know where the billionaires are at any given time?

Shit, that would make a good subscription service.

Clarification: That way people could hold up protest signs at them. This is all it would be used for.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's amazing how the 1% can get the working class to turn on each other. We have more in common with our racist neighbors than we do with billionaires who appear to be philanthropists (bill gates for example)

[–] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Vandalize regular people's cars, I'm sure that will cause Elon and Donald to change their ways.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I don't think that's the intention. Maybe people will think twice about buying a car that might get vandalized because the CEO is a literal Nazi.

Maybe shareholders will take action to remove the Nazi CEO if they know their sales are shit because of him and at least partially because people are reticent to buy their product because it might get vandalized.

[–] Death__BySnuSnu@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Let the common people turn against each other. Surely that'll teach those in power a great lesson.

I kinda wish it would only list recent new buyers. But let's be clear, all Tesla current owners are directly financing America's descent into fascism with every service dollar they send to Tesla or supercharger fees.

I hope people don’t target allies. Brand loyalty and brand avoidance are just ways of convincing people that ethical consumption is the way to affect change. If that was true, America would be the number one recycler in the world, with the cleanest air and cleanest rivers. Letting people decide what is best with their wallets is a joke. Force these corporations to heel, we do not need to make good choices with our money, we need to use government agencies to remove all the terrible options.

The site seems to be down/ gone and didn't look like it had every bit of data from what I have read

[–] skip0110@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

I’m not sure why no one is direct linking it.

(the data looks incredibly incomplete)

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That is quite powerful. Wow.
