    I’m not too concerned about the dealerships. They have insurance. But can these people stop doing it to privately owned vehicles? And also, stop harassing the telsers on the road. I’ve seen a few videos now of drivers being harassed. That’s not Canadian.

      I’ll use my fucking free speech to flip off teslas while I still fucking can. Until you physically stop me you will deal with it.

        Flip them off all you’d like. That’s fine.

        When you start brake checking people just cause? I don’t think yer doing the cause any favours.

      No. We need to make fascists afraid again. If you don’t want to be bothered for owning a Klankar, then stop owning a Klankar.

        1. By that logic we should be attacking Fords because Henry Ford was a Nazi. Maybe we should be burning 3M and Bayer products in the store?

        2. Most existing Tesla owners are left-leaning and purchased the car in good faith before Elon was a public Nazi figure.

        3. It’s not always easy to just sell your car. People are locked into financing contracts and have perhaps shelled out money for charging solutions at their home.

        Your worldview is childish and reductive. Grow up and come back later.

          Is Henry Ford, right now, at this moment, a Nazi?

          Maybe we should be burning 3M and Bayer products in the store?

          Is 3M and Bayer today, at this moment, supporting Nazis?

          Most existing Tesla owners are left-leaning and purchased the car in good faith before Elon was a public Nazi figure.

          Ok, we’re not talking about the past right now. We’re talking about the current situation. If they are left-leaning, as you imply, they understand the need to NOT display actively in use Nazi symbols and paraphernalia.

          It’s not always easy to just sell your car. People are locked into financing contracts and have perhaps shelled out money for charging solutions at their home.

          Then they can park it, cover it with a tarp, and use public transportation. Or, ride bike. Or, use rideshare.

          Your worldview is childish and reductive. Grow up and come back later.

          No, it’s principled: You NEVER show support for nazis, regardless of how inconvenient it is for you.

            So in other words, you’ll remain childish and reductive. That would have been much shorter than reading your drivel.

              It’s far more childish to be unable to stick to principles. Children will punch another child for a cookie… adults know not to, and ones that punch people for cookies are held in contempt by society.

              Your stance would be the former: do whatever is easy.

                The other commentator is right. Its easy to tell someone “just sell your car and walk” or whatever when you are not directly affected by the change you are asking someone else to make. Take a second and think of all the injustices in the world YOU are indirectly, involuntarily complicit in and what it might mean to be targeted for that reason. It is for this we offer charity to others, and therein is a clear line between wearing a nazi pin as a symbol and driving a Tesla, literally an appliance.

                  The right thing to do is often not easy.

                  Let me guess, you’d be OK with turning in a person hiding migrants, because it’s easier to do that?

        So you do realize that a lot of people bought these well intentioned vehicles before Musk became a total fuckstick, right?

        Not everyone has the luxury of being able to just go sell their vehicle that they are more than likely underwater on with the loan and can’t just pivot.

        Nuance my friend.

          I bought mine 6 years ago. I’m going to get rid of it but had to change plans because my son’s car just died. I wouldn’t blame anyone that vandalized my car. It should be expected.

          Mine has been debadged for years but I just put BYD badges on it. I doubt too many people will know what that is but I hope someone gets a chuckle.

            This mentality is frighteningly close to one that justifies vandalism on businesses because they use temporary foreign workers. I don’t condone the destruction of private property owned by the rank and file of life. It should be directed at those who are doing actual harm
