Raffle them off if they are just sitting there

Set them on fire and catapult them over the border

Seems like a waste of perfectly good batteries

Ya anyone that destroys them instead of stealing them and selling them for parts has no work ethic

No need to set them on fire. That’s actually the worst thing to do for many different reasons.

  1. Tesla gets insurance payouts and / or tax write offs
  2. Harmful toxins released into the air
  3. Wastes expensive chemicals and rare metals
  4. Endangers firefighters and locals

Destruction can be satisfying on an emotional level, but we gotta fight back appropriately by hitting them where it really hurts: their bottom line.
