The Cybertruck weighs almost three tons, so its enormous weight means it consumes an absurdly high amount of energy. Senseless waste that we as a society cannot afford. Add to that the sharp-edged construction: a safety disaster. The truck perfectly illustrates where the anti-social policies of the last few decades have led us: a few rich people drive well-armored into the disaster – and take everyone with them.

-Hendrik Fauer, one of the activists

At least it is electric. Throw the paint on a Dodge Ram 3500 that dwarfs the Cyber truck AND burns oil.

This is like protesting at a small free range chicken farm when there’s an industrial chicken farm right next door.

This is an odd argument to make for a vegan. Because both of those farms need dismantling. Just like electric AND gas cars need to be phased out. While I can agree all these things do inequal damage, it’s STILL damage. Electric cars are a step but absolutely NOT a solution to climate change. Removing gas from the situation is well enough, we need mass transit and rebuilt infrastructure.

It’s wise to protest the placebo so people start seeking the cure.

Have you lived anywhere other than a dense city? Mass transit doesn’t work everywhere.
Mass transit works just fine in rural areas when it’s properly constructed. Busses are about the single worst option for mass transit, and options like high speed rail excel in connecting rural areas to urban and exurban areas with better job opportunities and connecting urbanites to rural areas, both of which bring money to the rural areas.
Switzerland has one of the best rail systems in Europe yet it has more cars per capita than the UK at 604. The US is at 850. So creating a mass transit system in the US equal to the best in Europe would only reduce car usage by 30%. That’s the best possible.
