What are your thoughts on these people destroying and vandalizing random teslas?

As the title says.

I’ve seen a spike in people not just putting stickers or something on teslas but straight up shattering windows, smashing them, spray painting them etc. and these are privately owned vehicles, not the dealership ones…

And that brings up the violence we are seeing with people straight up fire bombing Tesla dealerships…

So what are your thoughts on this?

Me personally, I think it is completely and utterly stupid and wrong.

1) I do not condone violence. “The ends justifies the means” is the road to reactionary authoritarianism (like we saw during the French Revolution, the Soviet revolution, the Cuban revolution, etc). So using violence like this to push your political message is wrong.

2) as an environmentalist I oppose it because many people bought teslas before Musk went full MAGA because they were simply one of the better electric vehicles available at the price points. And it is ecologically irresponsible to go and sell a vehicle that still runs to buy another one. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, you want to get as much use out of the vehicle as you can before buying a new one. And if you get people to sell a vehicle for political reasons and they turn around and buy a gas vehicle, well now you have added more carbon into the system.

3) it is politically stupid because average people just see “far left extremists are destroying people’s property and firebombing car dealerships.” They are not “down with the resistance” and actively cheering for violence. Most people oppose violence destruction. So when they see the left doing this, this creates a strong knee jerk reaction toward the right as they don’t want to support violence. Furthermore this is just ammunition for Trump to push more authoritarianism to combat these idiots to “protect the people.” And this ESPECIALLY pushes the gov to crack down on social media sites where these idiots tend to congregate and plot like Discord and here on Reddit. Like, this is NOT how you win an election…
