Isn't this exactly what negotiating with labor unions so workers have good quality of life was made to prevent?

More Americans will become terrorists, and it's no surprise. They have nothing to loose.

Are you saying that she is/was a Tesla employee?

More Americans will become ~~terrorists~~ freedom fighters

At first glance, from the thumbnail... I thought it was Christine Weston Chandler.

What a twist that would have been.

Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don't blow up or damage Tesla's at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can't sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can't sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can't sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.

Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That's the real way to fuck em.

People don’t want to fly planes because they’re falling out of the sky. A Tesla dealership explosion would’ve done some significant PR damage, and may keep people from visiting them.

But, you’re right, it seems like Tesla is collapsing on its own without the need of terrorist attacks. But, the nonviolent Tesla graffiti is funny though.

If you get rid of the building only though and not the cars, that's double damage.

TBF insurers could start denying coverage if it becomes an obvious concern: and it very clearly is.

Tesla only does direct sales, no dealerships. Otherwise, point taken. Carry on.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why does the title literally say "Tesla dealership"?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Because that’s what the author is used to calling a place that sells cars.

She obviously could have just used a handheld sphere of steel

Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.

Bless her heart

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

It must be just me, but I can't see who they are claiming did it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

That "reporter" should be fired for using such inflammatory language. Word play absolutely intended.

To all the pearl clutchers, it was Molotov cocktails and graffiti, not IEDs. She was vandalizing the dealership.

Oh those mischievous 40 year old kids. I say let her go with a warning.

In the eyes of the law a Molotov cocktail carries the same penalties as a pipe bomb, both "unregistered Destructive Devices". It's the ATF's bailiwick so it's not unusual that the feds are involved, strictly speaking.

And upgraded to federal charges. Kash Patel is spending government resources on this for his partisan buddy instead of rightwing extremists and insurrectionists.

A potential 20 year sentence! For $5,000 in damages to luxury vehicles.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She used molotov cocktails and only did $5,000 in damage? I was really expecting to hear a few hundred Gs based on tesla's prices and the cars I've seen go up in flames in the past.
