Okay so what you do, see, is you get that punkin' chunkin' trebuchet out from storage, right? Okay, then . . .

You misspelled "Swastikars", it's okay though I still understood what you meant.

I think 80 is the high score so far! You definitely don't want to fuck around and find out in Hamilton.

I bet the dealership damaged them to get a insurance instead of trying selling them πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is why I'm opposed to that vandalism happening. If cars are vandalized, they get insurance payouts. If they are left alone, they rot on the lot, not selling, and hurting the bottom line. Protest the dealerships, that will be enough deterrent. No need for the vandalism imo.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not if we keep burning them and the insurance drops their policy. So let's keep burning them and get the insurance to drop their coverage.

What's nice about the fediverse is that you can say this and I can agree and upvote without our accounts getting banned. That, and people over on the other site are clutching pearls about this.

Doesn't get headlines or move momentum forward though. The fire is more visceral. Who cares about money right now. The world is burning might as well burn theirs.

True, but those things are surveillance machines. Covered in cameras, and there's about a thousand or so unique angles that they'll have of you committing the act. I just don't think the juice is worth the squeeze esp when Trump is trying to put terrorism charges on these people. It's not worth rotting in Guantanamo over.

Your lack of participation in the growing fight against oligarchs has been noted

Ok guy. Check my post history.

1000% insurance fraud.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a strategy that wouldn't surprise anyone, considering that Tesla is being investigated for EV rebate fraud in Canada.

Fuckin' shitpumps robbing us taxpayers

Rookie numbers. 80 cars is nothing to a billionaire.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It causes the insurance companies to crank up the fees for insuring Teslas, which makes people think twice about buying a Tesla, which results in way more than 80 lost sales.

Tesla's valuation is already overinflated based on expectations of future growth rather than current market, so those lost sales end up translating into way more of a loss in value for the stock price than those lost sales' literal dollar value.

Billionaires often leverage their stocks as collateral for loans, so those stocks losing value can end up costing the billionaire more than the dollar value loss alone.

There are some advantageous feedback loops here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

they already are, i believe insurance for the truck is double or triple of similar vehicles. or the owners are probably uninsured themselves, which is probably not the case.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

These dealerships should probably pivot away from selling cars from a Nazi-owned company, eh?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tesla doesn’t sell through independent dealerships. This only affects Tesla owned dealerships. Which is nice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

LOL. Time to close shop, then. πŸ˜†

Good job... but could we work on getting those numbers up?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Except the lack of dealerships in MI and only have showrooms that have limited amounts to burn. Would have to torch the whole building.

Hey - you got this

Wear gloves though. Safety first!
