More Tesla owners need to follow suit. Get rid of those Swasticars.

So i should sell mine with a loss (still have a loan on it), and if I want a car with the same distance, I’ll have to take out another loan? No, thank you. I’ll stick with my FUCK ELON MUSK sticker I got made.

I’ve been seeing people advocating ruining random Teslas and it’s pissing me off. Do people think rightoids make up the majority of EV early adopters? Fucking think about it before you go off spray painting swastikas onto innocent people’s cars holy shit.

Don’t be a dick and ruin a stranger’s things just because.

Still, those early adopters weren’t the people making $45,000 a year. It’s not like they can/could afford a new $60,000 car. Anybody buying a Tesla is solidly upper middle class. And often are DINO’s politically. And they can live comfortably if they aren’t too busy trying to maintain an image.

You’re making way too many exceptions. Most of us care more about the technology than the image, most of us can’t live comfortably if we lost our most expensive non-house purchase. And I soundly reject your Dino assumption. This kind of hatred of people based solely on a vehicle should be beneath you. Making up characteristics so you can hate someone is not ok. We can see this same logic used on the right to hate people because of their race or preferences, etc. it’s not ok
