See, now this would affect Elon Musk. Vandalizing people's cars that may have been purchased 10 years ago doesn't do anything.

If you burn down 10 cars at a tesla factory, doesn't that just mean that they just sold 10 cars because i assume they are insured?

Insurance can (and probably will) increase prices if they're more likely to be vandalized.

Nah I’d say vandalising existing teslas definitely does something. It drives the narrative that this vehicle is a fucking liability and makes it difficult to ignore. I’m not condoning damaging peoples cars mind you, if it’s an older one they might just be caught in the crossfire. Nevertheless, it’s only a car.

Cybertrucks sure, fair game. Brand new Teslas, same. But I'm sure there's decent folk that can't sell their older Teslas today without taking a big loss...

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 9 months ago

Most people i "know" who drive teslas are not car guys at all, they don't know anything about the whole musk ordeal, they just bought a tesla because these were the only ev's to buy, other than the bolt and the bmw i3 or the nissan leaf or the little honda. And the tesla, just looking at them was the only one that looked like a "real" car.

I'm against wasting, even if it's a Tesla, but maybe in this case it helps avoid wasting a lot in the future..

It still does actually, tanking the resale value will dramatically cut into new car sales. Encouraging current owners to sell absolutely does have an affect.

(It also raises insurance premiums for Tesla's, also hurting their market)

This is my favorite issue of Superman in years.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

I love on how it can work as Superman knowing what a piece of shit tesla is and doing nothing... but it can also be implied that it was superman who started the fire.

Do unto others as they do to you.

Facts. He’s lighting my country on fire someone should light his property on fire

Sure, but only because he's not readily available.

A gender changing gun wouldnt only help trans people, it could show transphobes what gender dysphoria feels like

Better advice would be do it unto others before they do it unto you.
