    With such a number, there is a non zero probability that the owner did it for insurance since sales of Tesla are expected to drop significantly in Canada.

    Plus that whole fraudulent sales claim to drain up the federal EV rebate program, as reported by NYT.

      Tesla doesn’t have traditional “dealerships”, but “stores” because they are owed by Tesla and there isn’t a franchise agreement. If there’s insurance fraud, it would have to be from the top.

        Unless maybe it’s not about the insurance, it’s about not being punished for failing to meet sales metrics

      It’s not safe to assume insurance plans will cover acts of “”“terrorism”“” or vandalism by default. Not to mention that insurance companies will pull any trick they can to get out of paying, so they actually have incentive to make the argument that Elon Musk provoked the protests (reckless or intentional misconduct).

      Efficient Proximate Cause Doctrine - Insurance often covers direct vandalism, but if the insurer argues the root cause was the CEO’s illegal actions, they could deny the claim.

      Elon Musk’s actions that caused the protests are technically crimes, the insurance companies may claim that they are not responsible for forseeable consequences that occur while Elon Musk is committing a crime.

      The insurance company could claim that the dealership should have hired additional security in response to the actions of the CEO.

      If Trump classifies the damages as “”“terrorism”“”, some insurance plans will deny claims if you did not pay extra for terrorism coverage.

      Fraud - can the insurer prove that the CEO intentionally provoked protests to destroy inventory and claim insurance money? Or merely suggest the possibility of an investigation as a threat?

    To be consistent they should also hit cars of other fascist producers, like Ford, Volkswagen, Opel, Porsche, Honda and so on.

        i really enjoy the people who spike suv tires for environmental concerns. that angle’s a little silly in light of the existence of exxon mobil and british petroleum and the united states military, but i really don’t care as long as they’re out there disabling their local Chevy Kidkiller

          PA still has the best model for direct action by a huge margin. Going for the source of the issue, causing direct problems and measurable impact. More groups need to adapt their tactics.

              Palestine Action. They are doing actions like breaking into places that are associated with Israel and vandalizing them, including some manufacturers of arms related technology. They are directly hindering the companies enabling the genocide

        Good catch, i think i confused it with some other company, Honda Soichiro did manufactured military aircraft parts during the WW2, but Honda as a company was founded after.

          Well that’s a nice little bit of solace. Fun fact, Honda means original rice paddy. And their luxury brand Acura is just meant to invoke the idea of ‘fine tuned accuracy’ and the “A” logo is actually machining calipers.

            There was also Honda samurai clan who were hereditary guardians and among closest vassals to Tokugawa clan, and knowing how the Meiji reform worked i bet they are still around there sitting at some zaibatsu.

      All cops are fascists, but this is Canada. At least our cops are educated in college. It’s not much, but it’s something.
