Bruh break up the protests all you want, Tesla is absolutely fucked. They have virtually no path to success beyond Tesla replacing Ford for all federal work vehicles, and that just ain't happening for logistics reasons (recalls, Charging infrastructure, etc)
The brand is on fire, and Elon is kerosene.
They can oust him and the flame may burn slower but ultimately... They're cooked. I would be surprised to see Tesla not getting absorbed by ExxonMobile or something in the next 5 to 10 years.

Yeah, I was watching an interview with an analyst who was kind of bearish on Tesla. He made the point that while the damaged Tesla cars don't help, they really aren't a significant factor driving this. Even if they stop that, it's not going to fix much. Tesla is not well positioned to appeal to conservatives. You can't take a brand which you've spent years building and then make the thing highly unappealing to your core market without losing a lot.
He also pointed out that Tesla's physical locations are not located to serve conservatives. Some of that is due to legal restrictions in some states that dealerships got put in place prohbiting Tesla-style direct sales. But regardless of the reason, if you're in rural State X in the Great Plains, the nearest Tesla location may be a state-and-a-half away.
If Tesla wanted to do some huge realignment, they probably should have had those physical locations up and running ahead of time.
Yeah, no one wants to buy a swasticar or a deploreon anymore.
Ketamin. Elon is on Ketamin and I wish I was joking. Most of the administration is, and Thiel is their supplier.
I wonder how long Krasnov would burn if we set him on fire?
Aren’t we as a species already releasing enough toxic materials into the air?
The smell of burning Krasnov in the air would be therapeutic.
Sure but it'd be funny, we should build a wickerman! We can get the BEES!!!
With all that lard, quite a long time.
What Tesla sabatours?
Sorry, I was there, they all spontaneously caught fire out of being poorly built junkers. All of them. Everywhere they caught fire.
especially the ones that caught fire after a Tesla humanoid Robot clearly must have graffitid "Musk is a Nazi" on them.
Because Presidents determine the sentence not the judge. Cannot roll my eyes hard enough.
Yeah… for now.
(not so) fun fact: Tesla also provides insurance for their cars.
And you know what even comprehensive car insurance doesn't have to cover?
Damage from terrorist acts.
So by declaring all attacks on Tesla cars terrorism, Tesla can deny coverage.
So its totally a inside job to stop insurance.
Yes, and people who smashed a car mirror will go to prison for 20 years as collatoral damage.
Vandalism goes from misdemeanor to 20 years in prison means people will do something worth 20 years of prison. Maybe take up plumbing.
"No, the car didn't just catch fire from a defective battery. You've been hit by. You've been struck by. A smooth criminal."
I thought they were just being dramatic. It makes much more sense that they're just cheap af.
Well, that clearly shows how shit-scared Trump is at any gesture of defiance.
And the more excessive the sentence, the more likely jury nullification will occur.
I would be proud to serve on a jury about Tesla vandalism.
Can vandalism be proven? Yes. Do I consider it an act of terrorism? No.
Therefore, I’d vote not guilty.
The guy running over protesters better get terrorism charge if not then no way vandalism gets a charge.
But Capitol insurrectionists go free?
They were on the "right" side
These people getting caught... Do you all know masks exist?
Probably used a car with real plates on
Peeps need an escooter, a mask, and a backpack
Maybe a 1-Up mushroom, too
King Kombover being tough on matters that affect all Americans!!!
Fascists only leave office in body bags
"Tesla Saboteurs".... you mean Elon Musk?
Hmmmmm....Nissla, maybe?
