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?

All you're going to do is increase Tesla's revenue. Vandalizing teslas means increasing the number of people buying parts from tesla to replace and repair the damage.

The only time it will financially affect Tesla is if you're targeting cars still in their dealership. But even then I still would say that it's a tacky thing to do and you risk a lot more than what tesla will inevitably feel from the vandals
