People who bought Tesla cars before Elon bought an election should not be harassed.
A vehicle is for the decade, at minimum. Affording a switch is not something that can be assumed. This isn’t the 90s, when regular people turned over a lease, or a purchase, every 3 years, ish.
There’s also a commitment to electric once a charging station is installed at your home.
So in practical terms, for anyone interested, anyone driving a Cyber Truck, or a Model Y or Model 3 refresh are fair game. Put simply, if the headlight goes all the way across the front, let 'er rip. If it has regular looking headlights, hold your tongue.
You think Elon gives a fuck about Tesla owners? He is swimming tax payer dollars for his other ventures. Military and space $$ dwarf car sales. He doesn’t give two shits about Tesla and knows other companies are going to take away most of his market share.
That’s why all the new shit promised is not happening. It’s not being funded.
Resale $$ do not impact Musk. He has already picking the bones oft Tesla. Harassing people who are stuck with one doesn’t affect Musk at all. In fact it helps him because he can play the martyr and get people who are harassed hating on “the lefties”.
Crazy take. You dont have agency to address real issues (money in politics, correctly taxing gains, lack of good leadership and social infrastructure) so lets lash out at other wage earners who have more in common with you.
Does that apply to strikes too?
'Crazy take. You don’t have agency to address real issues (setting wages) so let’s lash out at other wage earners (customers) who have more in common with you.
Interesting point. I thought about this a little and I suppose what separates a strike from this would be what is an organized opposition to a system vs. a targeted attack on individuals.
I have a MY and no you are wrong. I have a good paying job too and it was 47k not 80k. I don’t like what Elon is doing, but I can’t just replace my car bcz Elon is a fucking twat.
Just because someone has a higher paycheck and a slightly nicer car doesn’t mean they have made it beyond living a paycheck to paycheck grind. Most of these people are living in a slightly more expensive neighborhood that eats up a lot of those slightly higher wages and they still have to budget for major purchases like a new car. Tesla owners aren’t a bunch of hedge fund managers living in mansions behind gates, separate from the rest of us. I don’t have a Tesla myself, but I live in a boring suburban neighborhood full of Teslas.

My last vehicle lasted almost 15yrs.

Nope. Protesting is meant to be disruptive. Making tesla owners uncomfortable is the only way to take elon down.

He borrows against Tesla all the time, it would at least inconvenience him to not have convenient collateral for huge loans.
If resale value tanks because nobody wants to drive the car, musk gets deposed

Resale is irrelevant. First sale, new, is Al that affects Elon.
Do the public art, like the 0 to 1939 ads in London. It’s part of the landscape, vandalizes nothing, and is highly visible messaging.
Ads work or they wouldn’t be on display. Use the same type of playbook with public art in this vein

Nah people who can afford a 80,000 usd car can afford to get rid of it too. It’s a high end luxury item not some critical tool you can’t live without.

47k is still a luxury car my dude.
