Imagine you buy a car and it gets burned down because the owner of the car company turns out to be a Nazi.

I would like Tesla to go bankrupt too but cheering on regular peoples property being destroyed is wrong.

Hopefully they had bubble insurance and now they're freed of their magamobile and can buy something better.

[–] AidsKitty@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah because insurance companies are run by great people who are known for helping others.

Sure, I have some sympathy for those who bought them years ago.

But let's not mince words. If you buy a Tesla today, you are literally a Nazi collaborator.

Those who bought a Tesla much earlier were more like one of those few people who bought one of Hitler's paintings during his starving artist phase.

I think Tesla owners should put anti elon stickers on theirbcars

Imagine parking next to a Tesla and your car becomes collateral damage.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

it could've caught fire on its own, it's a tesla.

you should've known that when you bought the car too, before you knew about the nazism.

[–] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yeah ICE cars catch fire 61x more often than EVs.

Facts are important. We want people to switch to EVs. Spreading falsehoods because it helps your own side short term is wrong.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

no we don't. we want people to switch to public transit

What do you call it when half the Teslas in a showroom are on fire?

A good start.

Germans know the evil and danger of nazis and fascism better then anyone else. Fuck Trump and fuck Elon

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Funny house suddenly Teslas have become more valuable as an insurance payout then they are as a car.

Oh dear ! Must be those batteries spontaneously combusting. I remember when that used to happen to Samsung phones a while back.

Today i am not ashamed to be german for once :)

At what point do the board members and shareholders fire Herr Musk?

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Well, one of the board members is his brother and the rest are loyalists so probably not until a shareholder revolt.

Were they really set on fire, or did their batteries just explode? This could very well be another case of the new and improved Pinto spontaneously going off.

[–] punkisundead@slrpnk.net 20 points 3 days ago

There should be a contest which region / country / city lights up the most.

Well that’s terrible. You naughty, naughty Germans.
