    Imagine you buy a car and it gets burned down because the owner of the car company turns out to be a Nazi.

    I would like Tesla to go bankrupt too but cheering on regular peoples property being destroyed is wrong.

      Sure, I have some sympathy for those who bought them years ago.

      But let’s not mince words. If you buy a Tesla today, you are literally a Nazi collaborator.

      Those who bought a Tesla much earlier were more like one of those few people who bought one of Hitler’s paintings during his starving artist phase.

      So many people on social media cheering for vandalizing other people’s private property just because they disagree with the politics of the maker of their cars. Wild.

      Read this thread man. People have become fucking deranged, cheering on destroying the property of people who likely had no reason to believe they’d be making car payments to a Nazi.

      Frankly if you’re not out canvassing for politicians you support or helping organize a union or something but you can find the time to cheer on the destruction of what is likely a worker’s property, you need to get a grip.

        If you own a Telsa, sell it. It sucks but Muskrat is actually dismantling decades of institutional organization. He’s an threat to our country and when it collapses he’ll just fly to the next country while we burn.

        Flood the market with used Swasticars that nobody wants to be associated with and nobody will buy the new ones. Money is the only thing they understand.

        He’s got the president of the u.s. on the front lawn hucking his cars, it’s hilarious and sad.

    Funny house suddenly Teslas have become more valuable as an insurance payout then they are as a car.

      What are you talking about? Those could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.

      Now it’s just a waste.

          Yeah, no.

          All of you people said the same flawed argument and it’s sad that you thought you had a point.

          Really puts things into perspective why things are the way they are.

        Yeah I’m sure these people really would have willingly sold their Teslas and then gone on to donate that money to poor people.

          Who said anything about willingly?

          Did they willingly have these teslas burned?

          Sad this needs to be spelled out for you.

    Oh dear ! Must be those batteries spontaneously combusting. I remember when that used to happen to Samsung phones a while back.

    Were they really set on fire, or did their batteries just explode? This could very well be another case of the new and improved Pinto spontaneously going off.

    What do you call it when half the Teslas in a showroom are on fire?

    A good start.

      A waste of resources.

      They all could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.

      Now there’s nothing. Yay.

        Nice fantasy. But no, that was never going to happen in real life.

        Now there’s nothing.

        Now there’s a clear message in international headlines, and one heard by those trying to profit using Tesla.

            The point wasn’t to make the showroom work though. It was to make the showroom not work, and fire does that job wonderfully.

        If that’s what the money was being used for Teslas wouldn’t be getting torched.

          I’m saying these cars could’ve been reclaimed, sold, and then the money used to help poor people.
