    If they are still driving a luxury car made by Nazis, to promote Nazism, even when it becomes very obvious a nazi symbol… Yes, they are.

      First, Teslas are not luxury cars, haha. You could buy one for $35,000 USD right now, and their build quality is significantly subpar of luxury.

      To the main point - look, I get it, the CEO is a Nazi and fuck anyone who buys or bought a Tesla recently, but punishing a working class citizen with a 5 year old car and telling them they need to take a loss and cough up for a new vehicle is extremely stupid and naive.

      I sure hope you dont own a Volkswagen, as it’s a symbol of Nazism.

        Luxury doesn’t imply quality. Plenty of luxury items are worthless trash, and it’s pretty clear that a main reason for their price dive is to do with context more than the product.

        but punishing a working class citizen with a 5 year old car

        Is this something that is actually happening? Or is this a hypothetical edge case that assumes anti-Tesla activists are ignorant?

          The post you are literally in is discussing a dark-web site that is publishing the names and addresses of all of the people currently own Teslas. This is not hypothetical.

            There’s a big leap between a website publishing Tesla owners’ information and assuming that people with older cars are included (in fact, I only found Tesla dealerships and DOGE employees from a quick look around), and from there assuming any activists using that information are being uncritical and just attacking any car they see. Even in this post there are people explaining how to identify older models.

            I’ve seen plenty of articles and social media footage of Tesla cars being sprayed, burned and smashed and all of them I’ve seen were cybertrucks and dealership lot cars.

        Is the current execs of Volkswagem supporting a neonazi, right now?

        No.

        I still don’t own one, however.

        And yes, I get it. Sometimes it is an inconvenience to oppose fascism. Wah.

        And 5 years ago, Musk was still a shitstain, so even that excuse is flimsy as fuck.
