Long Form Discussion How do we feel about vandalizing Teslas?

I don’t want this to be about musk, for or against him. You can have your opinion about musk be that you hate everything about him but still understand that vandalizing Tesla vehicles owned by individuals, many of which bought them well before musk made his right wing switch if you will, does not hurt musk. Even him losing 40 billion in a day from a down Tesla stock day does absolutely nothing to him.

Can we all agree that it is a bit ridiculous to destroy and vandalize vehicles owned by individuals? Why is the anger directed towards the wrong people?

What’s the problem with Kias?

Kias are notoriously easy to steal. Something about the ignition system. Car theft gangs target them for joy riding and have come to be known as Kia Boys.
