    Damn. I saw the title, and was going to say “Fuck cars, but ESPECIALLY fuck teslas”.

    But I see the body of the message covered that quite well before I even got here.

    Welp…guess I’ll just go walk off a cliff or whatever.

    If vandalism continues, then this will easily be the death of Tesla.

    Nobody will want to buy a Tesla when an equivalent Mercedes has half the insurance rate.

    Boycotts also hurt Tesla, but vandalism will be their death.

    I’m happy to see this happen. For the last couple months, I’ve been telling internet people that rational insurers will do this instead of spreading the cost to all drivers. Economics still works!

    Everybody who was vandalizing should now redouble their efforts, because the cost is internalized to Tesla owners.

    Teslas are notoriously expensive to repair after a collision, and insurance companies often salvage them because of this.

    Also partly due to their own price gouging lol.
