While I get that people try to hurt Tesla's sales, please don't set random people's property on fire. You might destroy the live of someone who bought a car before Edolf Musk rose to power and displayed the extent of his insanity.
Couldn't care less for Tesla's fresh out the factory tho
Yeah, I recently saw a Tesla here with a sticker on its back reading:
"I bought this before Elon went crazy"
Those will probably get wildly popular to secure their cars
And I'm all with you, that destroying people's property is just a shit move...
Edit: and forgot to add:
There are still quite some anti-EV people around, that just seem to hate on EVs in general
If such a fucker destroys my Renault EV, I'd be more than just pissed
national "buy comprehensive" day would be a pretty strong signal to send
Sorry, English isn't my first language, so I'm not sure what you mean with "buy comprehensive"
It's a bit hard to describe for me, how I understand it, without just translating it directly ;-)
(Would be "umfassend" if that helps)
So, I understood it like extensive, exhaustive
But I'm not sure how that would translate to my shopping.
Would I just buy everything I need all at once?
But what signal would that send?
I guess, I just don't understand it correctly.
Thanks for helping me out here, I'm a bit stuck here...
They are referring to the insurance policy covering the vehicle. Comprehensive insurance covers vandalism and fire.
Most car insurance covers fire, so i hope the owners can collect and buy a different car.
That's true. In an unrelated note there's a tesla gigafactory near Berlin. Also, there's a brand new train track to it. Also unrelated, I heard fires are really bad for train tracks.
Have a buddy whose dad pre-ordered a cybertruck as celebration for his retirement ~4 years ago.
He's trying to sell it now but he can't even drive it because of the harassment lol, a lot of angry people
I'm not excusing burning down innocent people's property, but Teslas are not cheap.
I doubt anyone who'd lose one would have their life destroyed.
So what are we saying? Destruction of people's property is cool if it passes some arbitrary threshold that seems like they must be "well off" to own that property?
Does that also mean it's cool to rob anyone who owns a macbook, on the assumption they'd have a cheaper laptop if they weren't loaded?
Where I live, the taxi drivers primarily are driving Teslas and other electric cars because they do crazy mileage for their job and so over time the Tesla is actually the most economical choice for them. And that's just a regular working class job.
I'm saying it's cool if the property belongs to a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer.
I’m not excusing burning down innocent people’s property
Well you said those words, but then followed on by saying what seems to be an excuse for exactly that - effectively they are rich so they can afford it
The original commenter said that burning down Teslas might destroy the owners life. This is a car that costs somewhere between 40000 (?) and 150000 dollars. Someone who can afford that is highly likely to recover. That's what this commenter pointed out.
Stating that isn't saying that it's cool to burn down a random person's car.
Fair :)
People regularly buy vehicles significantly above their means for whatever reason.
Many people save up for such a major expense, like a car
So they save up for years, because they really would like to have that one specific car and then some idiot comes around and destroys it, because he doesn't like the owner of the manufacturer
And many people bought it while Tesla was pretty much the only decent EV
and even if the driver could buy the car without selling his kidney, it doesn't mean, that he has a bunch of cars in his home
I'm waiting for the same happening to the other famous nazi carmakers, like Ford or Volkswagen.
Germany has the right idea about Nazis. Never again
Germany is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Neonazis and genocidal fascists.
Yeah, sure. Just don't look at the last election results.
Don't these climate pigs know how shitty it is for the environment when an electric car burns? They must have been right-wing radicals!
This is so stupid, burn other people cars because of some stupid Millionaire. People are just dumb
If you have a car that valuable without comprehensive insurance, you were going to learn a hard lesson one way or the other imo. Something as simply as a bad rain storm can really expensive damage. Also, from an impartial perspective, used cars that attract crime seriously harm sales of other used and even new examples; Hyundai/Kia is an excellent example of this. Tesla has already lost virtually all of its reputation yes, but knowing it might be burned to the ground at any second will have even Elon supporters second guessing a purchase.
