Elon Musk is insane and deeply wrong.
This!
You know what we need to call this? A good start.
The French started this particular Tesla protest strategy. Vive la révolution.
They have some other historical strategies we should look into as well. 😁
The French burn cars everytime they're angry, it's not really a Tesla thing. And they get angry a lot.
Look i love the french, i love how they pull out the guillotinens and seeing french firemen beating up class traitor police officers gives me great joy. But a big reason cars burn in france is also because they hate Moroccan immigrants. So it's not all roses
Love the French.
How do we know they didn't just burst into flames spontaneously?
right? they're not well made
Maybe now he knows why most CEO's and billionaires are content to pull the stings and fuck us over from the shadows. You can't start dismantling our democracy while throwing up sieg heils and not expect people to fight back. Dumbass.
This.
Thiel is the shadows type, the Nazi type are pretty dumb and will do it openly
Wouldn't be surprised if this ones just old school fraud. People are desperate to get rid of Teslas these days.
I was thinking the same thing. Pass the buck to the impoverished insurance companies. Maybe one less yacht this year.
So is being a nazi
In all seriousness: I am fighting against neonazis here in Germany since >20 years. Physically and rhetorically.
Do not, I repeat do not set teslas on fire!
But new point could be a good idea. I mean, those big canvases scream for some spray paint.
Salt and vinegar (or sodium chloride, if you want to buy it ready made) is an easy to prepare solution that is excellent for etching metal.
Mhm, would be an interesting scientific experiment
For every person fired by DOGE a Tesla must burn
We know they are insane and deeply wrong. That's why we set them on fire, you idiot.
I thought it was an engineering design 🤷🏻♂️
Aww crap someone forgot to turn off his projection settings again
I feel bad for the minority of owners who may have bought before Musk was so obviously shitty. I didn't really think of him as anything more than the usual tech ceo until the "calling a rescue diver a pedo" thing.
And I mean it's likely a very small minority, but I think a more focused protest would be artistically altering cars on sales lots, or on factory lots. Obviously a lot harder to do, so like, any tesla over no tesla? But I'd prioritize the newer models, and ones that tesla still owns or will likely have to pay to reimburse, gets you the bonus of costing them more money outside stocks/sales.
It's absolutely not a "small" minority at all, a large batch of buyers were progressives who wanted to step in a direction for a more environmentally responsible means of travel where there isn't sufficient public transport. I know quite a few personally and they hate owning it but financially, they can't just get rid of it. They've also completely stop using the self-driving after some scary swerves
A reminder here since people get the two confused all the time, and don't understand just how little Autopilot does. Full Self Driving and Autopilot are and always have been different things. They do not use the same software stack. Autopilot hasnt really been updated since FSD started being tested outside Tesla employees, so 5+ years now. 95%+ of Tesla vehicles do not have FSD, but nearly all of them have Autopilot.
Autopilot is just Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Automatic Lane Keeping. AP is not smart, and never has been, it does not make driving decisions, it just tries to keep you in the lines and a minimum distance from cars in front of you at a set speed. There are a shit ton of vehicles on the road that do this now, spanning all the way from luxury brands down to a plain old Honda, and they have for years.
Not to take away from your clarification, but the Tesla lane assist (not fsd) is WAY different from standard lane assist. It really does try to self drive. I have a 2024 Honda with LKAS and it makes minor corrections that keep you in the lane. Teslas will do strong corrections that can be dangerous, I've been in plenty and experienced it
Musk has been a twat for years guys and insufferable moron and always has been
The general populace was blinded by the media for a long time though.
If you never bought products from a company run by an insufferable moron, you would be forced to buy directly from your neighbors for everything in your life. And even then there's always an insufferable moron nearby.
He sure someone didn't spill a drink on it?
Can fire fighters even put out the flames? The water would void the warranty of all the near by cars so it would honestly be better to just let the few burn.
Unfortunately, Cyber Trucks tries to identify as a truck instead of a dumpster fire. Per Elon's DEI program, we have to respect them.
"Blake bortles!!!" 🔥🍾
Keep them torching!
Not conspiracy nut but I have an idea that he is causing these fires. I don't think anyone actually going out there doing this. To easy for him to remotely make it happen then he can get support making criticism of himself a crime. Hell already working Trump announced that this is terrorist activity which is bullshit in itself. Just like the illegal boycott.
Fuck nazis especially Elon burn it all down.
Awww 😢
I'll bet the owner of that dealership sure is sorry for jumping on last month's bandwagon! Idiot!
The result of this, if anything, will be higher insurance on Tesla floor plans, which is a small good thing.
Maybe they were just overenthusiastic prospective owners like trying to test the fire safety of the cars before buying. 🤔
Maybe they wanted to be ghost riders?
How do we know Elon didn’t give a “verbal” order to have them torched?
