Government reports on Tesla attacks say nothing yet suggest a lot

When searching for any community with Tesla in its name, all listed communities look like they're about brand enthusiasts. This one seems to have become an unofficial Tesla Takedown hub, but I think it could catalyze the movement if there would be a community that makes the intention clear by its name.

I've thought about creating one by myself, but am tentative whether I should do it on my home instance, because I don't want to put them into legal jeopardy with the kind of comments that might show up, so... if anyone around here knows of a (non-tankie) instance where he/she thinks one could venture creating a c/TeslaTakedown, I'd be happy if you want to go ahead and just do that.

Tesla's sales in key European markets fell again in March, data showed on Tuesday, adding to signs that drivers are shunning Elon Musk's electric car brand as competition from China stiffens and some protest against his political views.

The incident is the latest in a series of suspected arson attacks targeting Elon Musk's company.

Tens of thousands worldwide held “Tesla Takedown” protests at over 200 locations on Saturday.

From Australia to Europe and the US, demonstrators rallied against carmaker’s dismantling of US federal government

Britain is working intensely with Washington to secure an exemption from U.S. auto tariffs and could review subsidies enjoyed by Elon Musk's Tesla to better support its industry, finance minister Rachel Reeves said on Thursday.

“Demand is off the charts!” Elon Musk crowed at the end of 2023, citing more than a million reservations for Tesla's polarizing polygonic pickup—so why has it still sold less than 50,000?

Tesla’s European sales almost halved in January-February compared with the same period a year earlier – despite a jump in electric car registrations on the continent, data showed on Tuesday.

Nova Scotia has joined other Canadian provinces in excluding Tesla from EV rebate programs due to Musk's association with Trump.

The vandalism is part of a wider global phenomenon of vandalising Tesla vehicles.

Tesla shares fell early Thursday after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick used a TV appearance to urge Americans to buy stock in Elon Musk's car company.

Tesla (TSLA.O) is recalling nearly all Cybertrucks in the United States to fix an exterior panel that could detach while driving, the company said on Thursday, the latest in a series of call-backs for the pickup truck.

The FT has done an investigation into Tesla’s balance sheet and found out that when comparing Tesla’s capital expenditure—reported at about $6.3 billion for the last six months of 2024—to the corresponding rise in the gross value of its property, plant, and equipment (which increased by roughly $4.9 billion), there appears to be a discrepancy of about $1.4 billion. The FT also notes that while differences between cash outlays and recorded asset increases can sometimes be explained by factors such as depreciation, asset disposals, or foreign currency effects, no clear accounting adjustment was provided by Tesla that would justify this gap. Not only is this anomaly a red flag but also keep in mind Tesla has already been caught red-handed trying to commit fraud in Canada recently by falsifying buying reports (ALL Toronto Tesla Dealers have moved on avg 1200 Teslas per day in the past 4 weeks according to Tesla’s tax credit filing with Canada) in order to cash out on a large lump sum of EV credits from the Canadian Gov.

In other words Tesla is looking more and more like Enron every day now

YouTuber Mark Rober, known for his quirky science experiments and viral videos, is facing major backlash after releasing a video titled “Can You Fool a Self-Driving Car?”—a piece many are calling misleading and deceptive.

Rober never discloses that the video seemingly doubles as a promotion for Luminar, a company struggling with a 96% stock drop over the past five years. Also, Full Self-Driving (FSD) was never used in the video.

Right off the bat, the video’s title misleads viewers. It suggests that Tesla’s FSD is under scrutiny, when in fact, Rober only tested Tesla’s basic Autopilot—a simpler feature designed as advanced cruise control, not as full autonomous driving. While Rober briefly mentions this distinction nine minutes into the video, the damage is done by then.

Elon, the government doesn't need DOGE. But Tesla does need DOGE because it's spending money inefficiently.
