It was't explosives

Nelson returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism

Nelson was immediately arrested and booked into the Larimer County Jail after being charged with explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony, authorities said.

Perhaps the law lumps them together as the same thing?

What a fucking idiot. Possibly killing a bunch of employees who are likely just trying to get by ain’t the way to do this…

Edit: wow, some of these comments are unhinged

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

Yup the people working at the dealership are almost certainly just people showing up to a job. They aren't inherently bad people and they ahpuldnt be murdered for needing to work for a living.

I understand the desire for protest against Musk. However, explosives by themselves are dangerous and can hurt you and others.

Further, while the lower end models of Tesla cars use a safe battery chemistry, you should know that high end models of Tesla cars and cybertruck use a chemistry of battery known as NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt). Puncturing of a fully charged NMC battery cell will result in a violent chemical reaction which can also hurt you or others as seen here. Please do not use explosives in your protests. Protest without the chance of harm to you or others.

I don't have anything against sticking it to the man, but there are better ways to go about this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

There's much better targets for the explosives

This woman is obviously mentally ill. No one in their right mind would repeatedly return to sabotage the same location again and again.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is it fair that this woman is locked up somewhere while Elon Musk roams free?

Great idea, let's kill innocent workers

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dealerships aren't open 24/7. Who said she was planning to kill people?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (4 children)

This one has been involved in multiple incidents seemingly involving her. They also apparently have a security guard so non zero chance someone was working graveyard shift.

Those protecting the owner class don't count.

I'm with you on this one. Elon's a piece of shit but I feel like the Tesla hate is a bit misplaced. Not that I would drive one.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

I own a Tesla (2018). Elon is the brand. CT is very much his napkin design made real. He's fired everyone that pushes back on him and runs the company as a vanity project.

The hate is not misplaced, until Elon is removed as the CEO I'll not own another one. Even though I think they are some of the better evs on the market.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

why? tesla still represents the core of his wealth and once you've driven one, it's also a ketamine trip into musky's mind.

“…caught trying to plant additional explosive devices”

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

heh, I immediately thought: "what, was she putting keys in the ignitions?"

[–] [email protected] 306 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So she was returning her cybertruck

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago

Heyyyy ohhh!

[–] [email protected] 188 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god! That's horrible!

That she got caught.

[–] [email protected] 105 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They've got the wrong person, this woman was with me at the time in question

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

I am also Spartacus. We are all Spartacus. It couldn't have been her, I saw her somewhere else. I think with you.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

that can't be right, I swear I saw this exact person at the grocery near me, thousands of miles away from Loveland
