I read a great comment on here from someone that destruction of Teslas on a lot is not the right tactic or is not as effective because of they simply get replaced (and more get made) and paid for with insurance money.
I read that spray painting personal Teslas is great for spreading the fear in media so that people don't buy one in the first place and they sit unsold on lots.
The orgional person that said it was much better with the points than me. Did anyone else see it / can link it it?
Tesla probably pays a lot more for insurance these days. Insurance companies are pretty evil, that works against Tesla in this case.

Wait was it set on fire or did the Teslas "Just Do That" as they are known to
In France and with Musk's actions it's "Teslas just do that" either way.

The fact I gotta wonder if people lit them on fire in they lit themselves on fire due to shitty design is telling of what kind of company it is.
I know what they meant, but I like the implication that it's only the first of many to be burned to the ground
They need to talk with the quality control department.
I've made fun of the French all my life for being smelly cowards, but perhaps we Americans are the smelly cowards.
Sorry France. Clearly you know how to get shit done.
I've never personally burnt a Tesla to the ground, afraid my citizenship may get revoked ๐ซ๐ท
There's still time ๐
We Americans have been propagandized all our lives to look down on the French, even before they whole "freedom fries" dumbfuckery.
We need to show them more respect.
It's the same with other EU countries, NATO article 5 has been triggered once, after 911. We came to help and lost many soldiers in Afghanistan etc. Now Russia is a major thread to Europe and the US is actively helping Russia.
I used to get into arguments about the "cowards" thing. Like yeah, they forfeit a time or two and lost a few fights. So have most countries, whether they let you know about it or not.
They have also been a global super power for at least as long as America has existed, or longer, depending on what you consider to be a super power. So yeah, they brushed up against a couple of rough patches in that time lol
I can tell you that the attitude in Poland is along the lines of "we had a defensive pact, but when we actually got attacked, France just refused to come and help, then promptly surrendered".

They're also a big part of the reason America won the Revolutionary War in the first place.
A big part
I would argue America wouldn't exist without Frances aid, at least not in the form that it does now. Whether that was different founding fathers because of lives lost or still being an English colony one can only guess
I think France has won more wars than any other nation in history.
The man speaks truth, perhaps we were lied to so we wouldn't look too closely at the united powerhouse of their working class
On the other hand, in my admittedly short visit there, it seemed like the public sector was broken there. You have to summon a magical spirit to find out what day of the month the post office pretends to be open. You have to be currently on fire for the fire department to consider showing up to an emergency... Beautiful country, excellent food, but, I've never seen such a dysfunctional "developed" country. If I was a citizen I'd be pretty pissed all the time as well.

Sometime im proud of my country
In these crazy times we need to stick together and make sure they can't break us. ๐ณ๐ฑ
I think we're running out the possibility that all the cars caught fire at the same time too early!
Between the unrelenting protests and De Gaulle I'm very glad Germany gets to call France its ally these days
a qoute from marge simpsons, the french can be unpredictable" one minute thier kissing your hand, the next they are chopping your head off"
Wow, that was an oversight of the Quality Department. Very likely that they allowed non-conforming batteries be installed in those vehicles. Oh well.
They overheat when you look at them too intensely.
Based
France,
Once upon a time you came to America and helped us defeat a king.
Any chance you can come teach us how to protest? You folks seem to have perfected your technique.
Step 1) Be entitled
Step 2) Have politicians whine that you're entitled
Step 3) Remind them physically that you're entitled to be entitled or they'll be sorry
Step 4) Profit

Yes!
Hitting the bastards in the pocket is one of the most effective ways of sending a message.
At this point burning cars is just as much part of french culture as the baguette
