Been thinking about this a lot. They can say it’s terrorism. History is written by the winners.

But…

Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal. If you rebel, you die a terrorist or live a hero. Not much middle ground.

How americans see themselves after cowardly vandalising some idiot's car

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 9 points 1 hour ago

On face value sure but if they as a vehicle become uninsurable Thats all the better for the world. Those cars are deathtraps anyway.

Hahaha 😂 10/10 meme

I’m not a big fan of that but I did notice there’s a new 2025 model y. At this point if you buy a Tesla you have it coming. If I saw someone destroying that I would look the other way.

Stock gone, carry on

"Trump administration looking to categorize Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism" Because Republicans are cowards without principles who can never even think of opposing him.

Spontaneous combustion

[–] clot27@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

how does this benefit anyone? I would rather disassemble it/sell it.

Driving up insurance rates is certainly a possibility.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 9 points 1 hour ago

Reduce sales because it will put people off buying one, in theory…

[–] SeriousMite@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

These things happen sometimes…

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 hours ago

Good. Do more.

[–] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Looks like false flag.

Ohhhhhh nooooooooooo! Let me grab my very tiny violin.

Problem with setting Teslas on fire is we can't know if it's an act of protest or if they just did that on their own.

[–] parmesan@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.

In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

Could be insurance fraud too.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 hours ago

Probably a lot of the time it is. Nows a great time to do it if you're gonna.

Saw a post earlier where a guy was 42,000$ underwater on his and wanted to offload it at that big of a loss before his insurance dropped it entirely.

They've become sentient, and are committing suicide.

[–] roguesignal@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago

This made me laugh out loud at my desk. Thank you

I was JUST about to say; how do we know they didn't just do that? or that this wasn't a buggy firmware update that just did that? or a malicious firmware update that did this?

[–] alecbowles@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago

Exactly 🤣🔥
