If those guys are supposed to be in uniform - no two are dressed the same. One guy didn't tie his shoes, another's jacket doesn't fit. It is very sloppy and unprofessional looking.

and a Boston man was arrested for slapping stickers of Musk making a Nazi-like salute on Tesla vehicles

Better have him taken out back and shot, right? 🙄

We shouldn't make people scared for owning a Tesla, just embarrassed.

Yeah just like thousands of civil servants are "embarrased" of losing their jobs. Just like judges are "embarrased" that the executive branch is ignoring their rulings. Just like millions of Ukrainians are "embarrased" of losing their home. Get over your fucking self... we are at war.

i'm gonna lean on the side of "fuck that shit" on this one. buying a tesla is a choice. maga are terrorizing people for things they didn't choose like skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc, and that list will only get longer

fuck tesla, and fuck tesla buyers. unlike their holy godman idol musk, i value empathy. but not for people who pridefully show none of it themselves

There's tesla buyers who dont even know who musk is or what he does/owns. I dont know who owns BMW, Ford, Volkswagen etc. People could easily decide to buy a tesla and not know.

And using hate to fight hate isn't always the best, these maga fucks will just use it as fuel for their regime, embarassing them is a much better way, stickers etc sure, but you shouldnt be physically violent to the person.

Citation??

Or, you just guessing based on the sentence that follows... 🤔

I'd bet significant money that 99.999% of rational car-buying adults know the relationship Musk/Tesla. 🤷‍♂️

A lot of regular Tesla owners genuinely didn't know a ton about the company and until the last few years Musk wasn't quite so openly a Nazi.

I have zero sympathy for Cybertruck owners but I am going to wait to reserve judgement on average Tesla owners until I have proof it was bought recently and that they are okay with Musk as he is.

The reality is some people can't just up and trade in the car as easily as they might want to, even if they hate Musk and all he stands for now.

People with ordinary Teslas might have bought them before Musk was a total ass. And apart from some dumb ideas like steering yokes and poor emergency releases and build quality they’re not that bad.

The Cybertruck is objectively bad and deserves ridicule regardless of what Lengthy Nutria does.
