It's believed to be the largest vandalism in Canada against vehicles from the U.S.-based car company.

This strikes me as an odd qualifier.

Have there been larger vandalism incidents in Canada against vehicles from companies based in countries outsides the states?

Keep up the good work, brothers!

When Trump said he'd prosecute tesla vandals "with the full force of the law" it really highlights the unequal enforcement in our system. Its like saying "I'm going to turn on law enforcement right now just for this issue". He clearly does not believe in laws or law enforcement, or else he'd see how absurd a statement it was.

This and their dismantling of the EPA, IRS, FBI, and justice system shows that republicans are soft on crime, soft on the legal system in general, and disrespectful of law enforcement, except insomuch as they can be used as personal storm troopers for issues they care about-- usually to promote racism and class stomping of the poors.

Republicans are soft on America, but rock hard for Russia. I hope republican voters are proud.

You damn right they're proud! As long as the powerful white man is hurting the right people to keep them in their place they'll vote republican forever.

I read something earlier in the week about a tesla dealership being vandalised here in N Ireland. Might be a worldwide thing.

Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn't he say Canada isn't a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did...

[–] AizawaC47@lemm.ee 5 points 2 hours ago

Of course he would have deleted it, so nice capture! And thanks for sharing. What a loser manchild -Elon

We need anonymous to dismantle Twitter and plummet it all so it can be amongst all the other apps that went to the grave.

Remember a guy telling it is more efficient to paint over sold Tesla to discourage buyers. But we have to admit news of burning Tesla is pretty discouraging too.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like the thought is: if you paint a Tesla you prevent the sale of that one Tesla, but if you burn one, the entire populace has second thoughts about buying any Tesla.

In the words of Duke Nukem, "Hail to the king baby"

The king being us, the people, who outnumber the billionaires, the billionaires who can still bleed.

And if it bleeds we can kill it.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I guess he should have said "Hail to the proletariat"?
