I can't afford to have my car destroyed or vandalized. I like my car and have owned it for years.

Please don't destroy my car because of something somebody else did.

you should make a bumper sticker that says that

u/1OO1OO1S0S 23d ago

would be nice if people could just not fuck with a persons vehicle.

I don't know what the vandals are thinking. It just makes tesla more money when they have to take them into to a tesla repair shop.

Now if they vandalized the cars on the lot/in the show room that no one owns yet, that might actually hurt the people they're trying to hurt

maybe we should organize tesla oweners to protest the vandalism. We'll have a tesla pride march, chanting "tesla power" while doing the "my heart goes out to you" gesture to show our support for president elon

They do not work. The only way to make yourself not a target is to get rid of the Tesla and drive something else.

Errr. Yeah. But some people didn't get the memo...

Edit: besides... They like showing off their inner fascism.

That’s says I’m sorry

u/Susanna-Saunders 22d ago

Yeah... Good luck with that...

There's a few teslas running around with this bumper sticker

u/Darthlocke13 23d ago

Good luck telling Reddit that. They get off on thinking they are morally superior for destroying the property of someone they know nothing about.

Thanks for proving my point

u/Comfortable_One_5417 23d ago

Honestly a bumper sticker might help.

u/cracked3131 20d ago

or just dont vandalize peoples stuff?

u/Comfortable_One_5417 20d ago

Or just don’t support the man trying to dismantle our government?

u/pm_me_ur_ephemerides 23d ago

The SF police reported about a dozen cars with threatening fliers on them. The chances of actually getting vandalized are still pretty low considering how many teslas are out there

u/redditor_here 23d ago

This is just another one of the left’s plans to isolate itself from everyone else. Imagine you have a 5 year old Tesla that you bought because you believe in EVs and bought the liberal propaganda. Now 5 years later, the same liberal propaganda is telling dumb asses to vandalise your car.

It’s almost like they’re trying to lose supporters at this point

u/pm_me_ur_ephemerides 23d ago

Don’t be ridiculous. 75 million people voted for kamala and about 100 people are keying cars. Nothing about this represents “the left”.

It’s almost as if you MAGA people don’t know how to think.

u/Unban_Phoenix_Prime 23d ago edited 23d ago

Lo It's like you cannot understand that the vocal (and acting) minority destroys the reputation of the whole movement

...and btw, you guys are supporting vandalism by saying that people who own teslas deserve it...

...so you know, leftist are really digging a hole for themselves

u/redditor_here 23d ago

The only thing pushing leftists to the right are other leftists.

Yall have a serious problem with being inclusive.

u/pm_me_ur_ephemerides 23d ago

Im not a leftist, and in fact I don’t know any of them. Im a liberal. I believe in civil liberty and rule of law. This is why I oppose lawless MAGA like you, and also oppose anyone committing vandalism.

These people aren’t changing anyones opinion on politics. That’s a wet dream you imagine is happening. A million MAGA bot accounts are pretending that is the case.

There is some vandalism, sure, but none of that vandalism represents liberals.

Liberalism is advocating for civil liberties and rule of law. The moment you vandalize something, you cease to be a liberal.

Conservatives just like want to spin a bullshit narrative to their own advantage while they embrace fascism.

Bro is Reddit touch grass or something upvotes don't mean shit

u/Soft_Asparagus_9187 23d ago

It’s how to take Elon out. If people won’t buy his cars because they’re being vandalized, that’s what elon gets. Sell your Tesla. Hide it. Park it in safer areas. Your teslas aren’t safe because of Elon. Not because of liberals.

u/cracked3131 20d ago

and you try to call other people a fascist?😂

u/redditor_here 22d ago

And this is the kind of mindset that allows the republicans to take over the entire government. Congrats.

u/COmarmot 23d ago

Totally agree unless it's a cybertruck. I know the cyberstuck's first retail production was in late 2023. 2024 Q1 2,800 units, Q2 8,755 units, then Elon comes out favor of trump and drops hundreds of millions buying the election in Q3, Q3 16,692 units, Q4 12,991 units, and so far in 2025 estimates are 30,000 to 100,000 units. So if you happen to be in the 2024. Q1 & Q2 buyers, I'm sorry that you make up around 15% of total sales. But if you're a Q3 owner or beyond, I'm kinda ok with shame being spray painted on your car.

whipping out the ole deflect and reflect strategy. Nice!

u/MonkeyCartridge 23d ago

Naw I criticize liberals for this, but Republican voters are kinda legendary for caring less about improving their lives and more about fucking up someone else's.

The whole "I would shoot my own foot if I knew it would annoy a lib".

u/Legends_Literature 23d ago

As if half of America didn’t vote Republican just because 10 men played in women’s sports. Republicans are notorious for voting against their own best interests just to fuck the other side over.

You must not be familiar with the liberal playbook. They don’t care if you did it or not, they just want a target

...Comet Pizza has entered the chat.

...several transgendered individuals have entered the chat.

...a group of Haitian immigrants has entered the chat.

While it's true that the driver of a random car is probably innocent, Nazis are a pretty damn good target. Or do you dispute that too?

u/FrederickDerGrossen 23d ago

Time for a rebranding then. If it isn't the dumpster on tires you already have two suggestions in the post on how to rebrand. If it is the dumpster on tires, nothing can ever rebrand it because no other car manufacturer is stupid enough to come up with such an ugly design. In that case better sell it and buy something else

-25

u/dotablitzpickerapp 23d ago

No one is destroying your car.

"People are Destroying Teslas" are from the same factory as:

"Hillary is going to win by the widest margin in history" and "Kamala is going definitely beat Trump".

The reality is most people love Teslas. They are great solid cars at a decent price. Joy to drive, way better that petrol cars.

And same with Elon; Most people love the guy. The hate is manufactured.

In the end itl'l come out just like: "Oh Trump won the popular vote"; Don't let Reddit influence your thinking. It's a bought and paid for astroturfed site. You come here like you go to the zoo. To see the animals.

I don't. Clearly whatever it is, it's the type that puts holes in your brain. I love me some psychedelics don't get me wrong but whatever that guy's on is fucking him up bad.

u/chashaoballs 23d ago

One of the dumbest takes I’ve ever read. Teslas drive like electric go-karts. Electric is better for the environment compared to gas but other EVs come without the Nazi endorsement.

It's a perfect encapsulation of Reddit that I had to scroll so far to find somebody saying this

u/citizensyn 23d ago

Sorry it's for a good cause bro. Knowing it will be vandalized is what is causing sales to drop off entirely and stock to collapse. If we keep going we can bankrupt Hitler. Your sacrifice is noted.

u/Trucidar 23d ago

Nazi's benefit when the people are targeting each other instead of the real villains. They love this.

The Nazi is on the verge of bankruptcy nothing is unacceptable in the pursuit of saving the nation.

That’s a little extreme. You know it’s probably teenagers who dad just lost their government jobs or something. People don’t know where to take out their anger, should it be your car? No. Should you be excited to “make people bleed” also no. Everyone in this scenario needs therapy.
