I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.

I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

    lol … years ago, I went out to an event with a friend of mine in the city in the late spring. We’re in Canada and at the end of the winter season, there is a ton of road salt everywhere. We were in his truck, a beautiful F150 fully loaded and it was covered in this road dust. I was having a good time and felt stupid and decided to draw ‘racing flames’ with my finger on the side of his truck as joke. He literally screamed and jumped at me and said that I shouldn’t do that because it would ruin the paint. I had never owned a brand new expensive vehicle in my life so I never really cared about things like this but he was right, scratching up an expensive truck like that can really mess up the owner’s property.

      You mean a pavement princess?

      I have a bike that gets scratched up every time I lock it to a bike rack and meanwhile people buying expensive work trucks are melting down if there is a scratch on their WORK truck.
