Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor’s office said Monday.
In before the shit lobs start crying about how you’re only hurting the poor working class Tesla dealership owners, not Elon himself.
The French get shit done, unlike weak Americans.
Nice.
No, Toulouse!
/s
Ba dum tss!
That’s how you boycott something
They must really hate that dealerships insurance company. I don’t think that even registeres with Elon.
To hurt them you have to strike closer to home.
Get the nazi traitors and Putin assets out of Europe. Or at least their businesses.
That second sentence isn’t needed. Get Nazis and Putin assets out of Europe.
France is literally protesting better than the USA over our own issues…
It’s because your issues are everyone’s issues.
Yeah - I just wish our leaders (Democrat ones) would call for protests at least. It would help. Instead we twiddle our thumbs as our institutions are destroyed. I haven’t heard of a single protest for the tariffs today that nobody wants but Trump and Putin…
Oh no. Anyways
I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.
I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.
I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.
That’s what I’ve heard.
The insurance premiums of the commercial ones will increase by a lot of this happens too much.
Or removing its windshield wiper (its the giant stick on one side of the windshield)
Or consider that people may have bought them well before Musk came out of the gate as a full scumbag. I know people who bought them when evs were still a new thing and they were just being green and cutting edge.
Bitch Musk has been an asshole for longer than a fucking decade, get your head out of your ass
It wasn’t widely publicized. Learn how to communicate btw.
Yeah they’ve only had like a decade to figure that out
That’s entirely orthogonal to the point of their comment
I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas.
Yes, and?
Smh you should tell that to the fools in the thread about the lady in Colorado. They seem quite oblivious to this
Why would I tell anyone? I’m not condoning any action of vandalism at all. It’s only what I’ve heard.
Now that you’ve heard it too, you can tell others what you’ve heard without condoning it either.
I don’t support contributions to environmental damage caused by fires. I love the idea that Tesla cars are destroyed. It’s a conundrum.
That said, I like this more than I dislike it.
People can hold contradictory beliefs at the same time
Ooooh, lithium fires
Antifa colors.
Only 12? C’mon France we know you can do much better. Try again.
Call that a “breaker’s dozen”.
Hey let’s be real.
Ain’t no protest like a French protest.
They’ll do better. Patience.
I’ll believe it when they chop teslas in half with a giant blade.
What have you done lately?
Made comments on the internet, obviously.
I’m doing my part!
Nah, we put things on fire only when some random dealer get shot by a cop.
Once again the French demonstrate that they know how to raise hell.
We need to get more like the French.
Guess you haven’t seen https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39116529
Well, that’s a start.
Also, describing Molotov cocktails as “explosive devices” seems just a little misleading.
There was a post here the other day asking if vandalism was OK because someone wrote something with their finger on a muddy swasticar.
Now this is vandalism. Or possibly an accident, batteries like to burn violently and Tesla isn’t known for build quality or safety…
I’m surprised this hasn’t been happening in the US
They just catch fire sometimes, so it’s hard to tell.
I think there’s a better way to link Lemmy posts, but I don’t know how to fix it.
Setting EVs on fire is really bad for the environment. Can’t people just mess up these cars by cutting cables?
People? No. Weasles? Yes.
Which cables are readily accessible? Which cables are readily accessible but not easily replaceable?
Based on repair costs just damaging one motor should be even to scrap it.
/me starts handing out “/s” shaped molotov cocktails
I think these bottles would be more appropriate. Odd how Musk’s tequila brand looks like an s from the SS logo. Im sure that’s unintentional.

Edit: For those unaware this is real and as someone with a multi-decade history of collecting and selling agave spirits at retail it is fucking awful for the money.
I imagine they don’t want to stick around too long
And have them be easily repairable?
