Would you like to explain to the dealership that gave me a shitty old loaner Tesla why you decided to vandalize their property and make me have to deal with it through my insurance?
Don’t vandalize other people’s shit. You don’t know what their situation is. Golden rule, motherfucker.

I think the reason most people vandalize secretly is so that they wont have to explain themselves at all. Generally speaking, they hope the vandalism speaks for them and don’t particularly give a fuck if it dings some jerk’s insurance. As for the golden rule, I think you’ve got that confused too: Most people who vandalize in this way are hoping to inspire others to do the same, so golden rule very much in play.
The golden rule is to treat others the way you would want to be treated. So if you’re vandalizing someone else’s property, wouldn’t that mean you would also expect/want someone to vandalize your property?
I doubt someone getting their vehicle vandalized will want to then go out and do the same to someone else’s, and I doubt anyone vandalizing someone else’s vehicle wants someone to do the same to theirs.
Why are we directing our anger toward the drivers rather than the company/shareholders/dealerships themselves?
You’re not going to get people on your side by damaging their shit. You’re just going to make them more pissed off at you and whatever message you’re trying to send with your actions.

Surely you realize that analogy is flawed? That’s not an old loaner—even if it is shitty—it’s an eighty-thousand dollar and higher, highly controversial, highly marketed, nearly experimental vehicle. No reasonable person is chasing after poor sods with old loaners to vandalize.
Don’t vandalize other people’s shit. You don’t know what their situation is. Golden rule, motherfucker.
Since we’re being nice about it, how about don’t support nazis. Golden rule, dipshit.
…I don’t think you’re a dipshit, but I do think “vandalism or not” is irrelevant, here. Property isn’t sacred, and even if it were, vandalizing nazi symbols would be far from the worst sin to commit.
$80k? My loaner is not worth that much, even brand new. It’s not a special model or anything.
No reasonable person is chasing after poor sods with old loaners to vandalize.
I got harassed today for my loaner, the same day I got it. How are people supposed to separate those with loaners from those with their own vehicle and vandalize accordingly?
How about don’t support nazis.
I wholeheartedly agree. You still shouldn’t vandalize other people’s shit.
Property isn’t sacred, but how about we just don’t vandalize property because we don’t know everyone’s situation?
If my loaner gets vandalized I’m not going to hate Elon any more. I’m going to be pissed off that now I have to deal with that bullshit because some asshole decided to make a statement I never needed.
Are we talking about the same thing, here? The post says cybertruck. I reference the cybertruck. You bring up an old loaner, again. Is your old loaner an eighty-thousand dollar shitbox or not?

I got harassed today for my loaner
I’m sorry you got harassed, but I must ask: did your car get vandalized?
No, I did not get a cybertruck loaner and it did not get vandalized. While I understand the post, the top-level comment I responded to is a sentiment encouraging harassment and vandalism toward teslas I’ve seen growing more popular on social media, which I have now had some exposure to IRL.
Also Tesla or not, I’m a believer in leaving people and their shit alone and using healthier methods of expressing dissatisfaction if the goal is to actually change their mindset.
While today I was simply harassed, tomorrow the loaner could be vandalized by someone not differentiating Tesla models and just being pissed some guy is driving a Tesla.
Legit Tesla owners getting their vehicles harassed/vandalized are not going to get the message. They’ll simply get pissed that some angry asshole made their day less convenient and if anything, I fear that will just give them even more of an underdog complex than they already have.
Plus, vandalism repair costs = more money to Tesla.
Vandalism.

If I would buy nazi shit I would love if someone shows my wrongdoing by devaluing it
I hope your message gets across, but I don’t think they’ll get it.
