    Interesting. Whether you as a potential buyer would avoid tesla or not based on your dislike of the CEO’s politics, would you buy a car that has an increased chance of being vandalised due to the CEO’s politics?

      Yeah there was another thread where OP was pretending to ask about the ethical considerations of “vandalising” teslas. Thing is, I presume OP was a tesla owner because their definition of “vandalism” included drawing things in the dust on the rear window.

      In my opinion it’s a great way to harm Musk financially. Honestly if you’re driving a Tesla you’re carrying water for Musk. Everyone has known he’s a shit head for a long time now. It’s certainly possible for someone’s well meaning grandma to be collateral damage but so be it. Not knowing is not a defense.

      I wouldn’t have the nuts to spray a swatstica on someone’s car, so not necessarily advocating for it and saying that’s what people ought to do, but shit if you feel like it and are aware of the potential consequences then have at it IMO.

      Cyber truck wasn’t going to last long anyway. It should have been apparent from the get go. Rivian was going to market and Elon panicked. They rushed it out and it’s a relatively low volume vehicle. Tesla is notorious for lack of after sale support. I’ll be surprised if there are any left on the road by the end of the year.

      People still buy Hyundai despite increased risk of being stolen with a USB cable … so yeah.
