Publicly shaming anyone that drives a Tesla and outright publicly laughing at Cybertrucks is a lot more effective than you might think. Tesla value is a huge source of Elon’s wealth and the more toxic the brand becomes, the less room he has to maneuver.
Everyone I know has already dumped their swasticars.
Everybody leave Tesla owners the fuck alone. Normal, non-freak people bought Teslas in droves a long time ago. They didn’t do anything wrong, and I expect anybody who considers themselves to be on the right side of this to fucking act like it.
Cybertruck? Lol open season.
It’s been mentioned in the thread that the styling has or is about to be updated on most models. I think that differentiator should be good enough to single out the dipshits that purposely bought a swasticar.
While I hate Tesla as much as the next person and definitely don’t think anyone should be buying new ones, it’s a little unfair to ask people to just dump their car and buy a new one. That’s a very privileged perspective of like “oh ya I can just sell this and get a new one” especially if (I assume) the value for them has dropped.
Besides, buying a new one will just put more money into other capitalist pockets because even though other car manufacturers aren’t outright Nazis, they’re still capitalists.
Many people that bought Tesla in the earlier days thought they were doing a good thing, so I think it’s unfair to punish them now if they can’t afford/don’t want to buy a new one. Put a fuck Elon sticker on it something, sure.
We’re talking about tesla owners though. you could sell a tesla and buy a low mileage used car and still come out with money from it all
Be aware the model 3 had a facelift in the 2024 model year, the model Y is getting it this year. The S and X are rumored to be next.
Though public shame is powerful, be aware that those driving an older styled tesla likely bought before musk went so publicly off the deep end. Cars are expensive and cannot be changed without significant expense. So have some compassion.
But anyone driving a particularly angy model 3 with dagger shaped taillights, a model Y with front and rear light bars, or a cybertruck should be mocked and shamed without remorse.
Who elon really is was very public when those owners chose to buy their car.
…the model 3 had a facelift in the 2024 model year, the model Y is getting it this year. The S and X are rumored to be next.
Good to know.
…anyone driving a particularly angy model 3 with dagger shaped taillights, a model Y with front and rear light bars, or a cybertruck should be mocked and shamed without remorse.
The best path.
The only thing they really want is belonging. It’s literally what Musk and Trump desire as well. They want to be accepted. Trump hates New York because New York high society rejected him fot being a crass boorish buffoon. Musk wanted the accolades of 4chan and has worked hard to build a cult like following.
Rejection of them and their ideas is one of the few things that stings them. It’s why they hate liberals and leftists and want to hurt them. Because their ideas have been soundly rejected by the educated, and they resent the fuck out of that.
But the second they feel in the minority, the second they don’t feel in charge, they will make superficial changes like selling their Cybertruck just so people will stop laughing at them. They change nothing inside because only appearance matters.
They want to be

Just bought a fuck Elon bumper sticker for my 2018 Model 3.
Why not sell the car?
Because that is an incredible financial burden.
I just got done paying ours off. As much as I covet replacing it with something else, I’d rather spend the money on other things. Plus part of the reason we bought it was to be more eco-friendly (yes, yes, I know all of the arguments) and buying a brand-new car just cause I want to virtue signal is not eco-friendly.
I hear that.
The other thing about the “why not sell it?” argument is…what exactly does that accomplish? There are still just as many Teslas on the road. I guess someone who would buy new and give Tesla money could buy your used one? But what if that person is an Elon simp? Would cheaper used cars on the market change their mind?
Yes they are in very high demand right now
I’m not going to tell you not to shame us (yes, I still own a model 3) but be careful about who you take a shit on. We want to shame the rich first, not force people into worse situations.
I’m glad that everyone you know had the financial flexibility and independence to freely change vehicles. However, for many people (myself included) switching from an 18k USD Tesla to something else will involve loans, increased insurance, and other costs that are not financially feasible.
My eventual goal is to get out of my Tesla (edit - and I strongly encourage others to do the same), but it’s not going to happen overnight and that doesn’t make me less valid as a progressive. In fact, if I’m keeping this 6-year-old rolling bucket of bolts out of a scrapyard, I say that’s the best possible action.
May I recommend investing in a “I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy” bumper sticker?
If every Tesla on the road called Elon crazy or a fascist that would also be very effective.
I only point and laugh specifically at Cybertruck owners.
Most other Tesla owners were likely already owners before Musk really started showing how much of an asshole he truly was.
I can’t really fault early adopters for that.
Cybertruck is like the hummer. Point and laugh is really the kind thing to do, because it deserves so much worse 😆
Was driving my old beat up car earlier and saw a Tesla. My old beat up car with no legal ties to my name. My old beat up car that isn’t worth the repair it needs. My old beat up car that could have destroyed that Tesla.
I made it home safe and sound
I literally just stopped in a parking lot to point and laugh at a cyber truck. I tried to get my son to join me but he just thinks I’m old man angry at cloud.
Personally I recommend Indivisible and finding a local branch of it.
Here’s a good place to start looking: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/
Thanks for sharing this, it helped me find a local group I just reached out to. I’m sure the site owners are aware, but having a .us TLD is dangerous, as it’s fully controlled by the US government. Just as the taliban now controls .af (https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/12/24071036/queer-af-mastodon-taliban-shut-down-afghanistan), it’s within the power of the government to shut down .us domains.
Nothing near me sadly.
then try:
- https://events.pol-rev.com/ (includes 50501)
- https://www.mobilize.us/ (includes other organizations)
Aha, mobilize.us has 3 things in the closest city but it’s nothing I have time or interest to actually attend. Maybe reroll and there’ll be something available near me later.
Yeah, keep an eye on it, it’s constantly updating. Also look for “virtual” events that are nation- or state-wide. A lot of times those involve making phone calls to demand that politicians to do something. I’ve heard about this one from various people:
- https://5calls.org/ (haven’t tried it myself)
Speak now or hold your peace, as they say.
In the US, join us on March 4 in your state capitol.
I want to donate, but it seems everytime I donate with ActBlue things go sideways lol
