I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.

I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

    Me selling would not hurt Elon.

    This is not true.

    Think bigger: if everybody sells their Teslas their sales would drop dramatically.

      Think bigger. Instead of bullying customers, vandalizing property of people like you, discourage future sales. Tank the stock. His ridiculous wealth is mostly stock, mostly Tesla. If you vandalize a car, you’re mostly hurting another person. If the market can no longer expect rapid growth, that overpriced bubble stock pops.

      He lost like $30B in value destroying Twitter, but one of the reasons he didn’t care is Tesla stock more than made up for it. But imagine suddenly losing $100B or $200B. Even Msk will notice that. Even his hand picked board of directors would have to recognize his extremism is destroying Tesla and have to do something about it

      Gonna hurt OP more though. I say do it if you can afford it but it’s not worth it to shoot yourself in a foot just to make a statement.
