I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.
I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.
I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.
But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

I’m just gonna be blunt. And I mean exactly what this sounds like.
There is NOTHING negative you can do to a Nazi lover that could possibly be construed as immoral.
Illegal, sure (in this current farce of government). But every dead Nazi is good for the world. Bar none, no exclusions. I wanna see Nazi corpses everywhere. I wanna see clips of them suffering before their deaths. Comeuppance is such a delicious beverage. The tears of the wicked can wash anything down.
They can’t be reformed, and everything they do would be suspect for the rest of their lives. You can’t negotiate with them, either.
I’m just gonna stop here. I probably got on at least 3 watch lists for this comment.
Personally, I don’t consider it moral at all. They spent a lot of money on that thing. And what if people on the other side decide to vandalize back?
This looks like relatively harmless vandalism. What if it escalates?
What if car vandalism isn’t enough, what if they burn your house down? Or you to them?
I just think it’s an ugly way to live & nothing good comes from messing with shit that isn’t yours. In this case, the fitting punishment is already applied & by their own hand. Rapid depreciation, vehicles that rust in car washes, virtually no product support, expensive to maintain, ridicule from others…idk. I think that’s enough on its own.
Should people turn against each other while the rich continue to get richer? You’re not going to seriously fix anything by vandalizing people’s cars. Even if you had some irrefutable proof that they’re a Nazi, what good will it do? Are they going to say, “damn, I guess I’ll stop being a Nazi now?” They’ll double down, and you open up doors to others doing the same to you.
Even the UHC CEO killing only raised the awareness and amount of discussion of our healthcare system temporarily, and that was a highly visible move against someone who was actually part of the system exploiting people.
I have a Tesla model 3 with my partner. It was simply the most cost effective EV for us at the time and let us do road trips easily with the super charger network, also he really likes the software updates and self driving features and stuff.
We bought it a while ago when Elon was just an idiot billionaire dick, perhaps not so different from other car makers executive boards just a bit more visibly and annoying, or at least that’s what we thought at the time. It’s worked well for us. We wouldn’t buy it again today given Elons actions in the past year especially.
Certainly I would hope our car wouldn’t be vandalized. Sometimes cars are compromises between family members with different viewpoints, sometimes they’re bought second hand, or more cheaply from older family members when they want a new car. It’s almost impossible to know the story of a car on the street.
Yet I think social pressure to stigmatize people buying teslas is a good thing at this point. Maybe leave a note, or do something non destructive. I get that may not have the same financial repercussions for teslas sales, but it should still help, while not having the detraction of potentially alienating and so listing the viewpoints of the victim of vandalism.
Not in any way that would require repairs to fix. Otherwise, go for it.
I’ll just pose a question: What has being moral done for us lately?
the hypersuck swasticar is a death machine that should not be allowed on the road to begin with (and isn’t in relatively sane countries). vandalism is getting off too easy imo. the appropriate response is to total the car but that’s not practical. or maybe you can just spray some water on it and it explodes or something idk
Older Teslas- no, Cybertrucks - absolutely yes.
Everyone who bought a Cybertruck knew exactly the kind of person they were buying from and made that concious choice
This is stupid. If you are going to vandalize a car for ideological reasons at least pick one you know what the person is thinking. Not every Tesla driver agrees with Musk. Most actually do not. There are plenty of jacked up MAGA trucks with hate stickers that can be vandalized if you insist on vandalizing a vehicle.
IOS 18.3 has starlink connectivity so don’t forget to destroy all the iphones you see. Clearly all those iphone users support Musk.
Absolutely moral. Convincing owners to not drive them may save a life as well
No.
Can’t they just decorate them with fridge magnets?
I’d say no, it’s not moral, but at the same time, I wouldn’t be upset to see it happening more often. Get photos.
Personally, no. Most people probably brought their cars before Musk went totally nuts, or they simply didn’t know. Plus, not everyone can just get rid of their car because of the CEO of the company that made it.
TBH, you’re only really hurting the owner, and you don’t know their situation necessarily unless you’re in close contact with them all the time.
Plus Teslas have security cameras.
It’s generally a bad idea.
