Tesla had to create the own insurance because many companies and states won't insure the cyber truck.

Guarantee the payouts dive as well, given falling market values.

Makes sense. They should make cars that don't spontaneously combust.

I assume people wear masks when doing it because of the monitoring cameras on Teslas

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

The same cameras that drove one into a painting of a road? Only the best imaging.

Now this kind of thing could actually be the downfall of Tesla. Good job people!

I'm proud of my fellow Americans

Some higher being observing Earth from a far distance must be intrigued by the pattern recognition of us destroying one specific car while completely ignoring the thousands of others.

Like, imagine when we look at single-cell organisms and see them swarm something. We’d never apply any kind of nuanced interpersonal/sociopolitical reasons to be the cause.

If it works out it could be the template for a lot more action

I think it goes Luigi > Tesla Removal > and some time down the road, we’ll be in what would later be historically considered a revolution— what’s crazy is with how interconnected we are today, it could be a global revolution of some kind.

Yea, colonialism/imperialism share a lot of characteristics with parasites.

Same pattern of white blood cells recognizing a pathogen. Search and destroy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Precisely. Makes you wonder what sociopolitical shit some amoeba are dealing with at the moment lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

And we’ve looped into osmosis jones territory.

Ironically, even without the vandalism these cars were ridiculously expensive to insure. When I bought my EV I checked insurance premiums, and it would’ve cost $100/mo more to insure a model 3 similarly priced EV from another maker.

this is what the fanbois never bragged about when the brand used to carry some level of prestige

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Hahahahahahahaha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is fucking hilarious.

It turns out, property damage can solve a problem

When it is targeted, not just smashing every window on some small business you happen to see.

Could the Americans be figuring out how to protest properly?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say this is properly, but at least they're finally starting to protest. This is teething while they figure it out.

I won’t be the one to indulge in vandalism but i do want the company to fold… higher price of ownership is part of the decision process for prospective buyers… let’s just say i won’t judge those that do choose the dark side!
