    The problem with selling a Tesla is the greatly reduced sell value.

    That’s not the problem. That’s the objective. Reduce the attractiveness of new Teslas. Reduce Tesla revenue, reduce Tesla share price, reduce Musk’s power.

    nothing musk does is justification for risking anyone’s life with burning cars.

    Are there incidents of Tesla owners being physically harmed (Ignoring autopilot problems and manufacturing faults)?

      Its an objective that is causing a major fucking problem for the people who want to sell their tesla but can’t without going bankrupt. You’re hurting thousands (hundred of thousands?) of people to stick it to one man.

      People setting fire to a car forces fire fighters to have to put that out. That’s a waste of resources, possibly delaying other calls, and its a fucking fire. It doesn’t take much for the situation to become dangerous

      Not hard to imagine the risk of something exploding or “sorry we couldn’t get to your hose 5 minutes earlier to save your baby because were scrambling around town dealing with arson”.

      It’s not worth the risk.

        That one man is now hurting tens of thousands of people with his (unelected) government actions.

        I’m not hurting anyone. However this online chatter is hurting the Tesla share price so I’ll keep it up.

        Yeah. I think burning is too extreme, but the French are experts in this form of protest

        I’m more an advocate of non permanent damage (notes on windshields) and writing on the Internet. IMHO slashing tyres achieves the same extreme impact with less environmental damage or possibility of injury.
