    At this point it is most likely that it’s the dealerships themselves trying to burn these for the insurance.

          It does. A dealership is an independent entity. If cars were purposely being damaged, it would be Tesla doing that and not another company that sells Tesla vehicles.

            The corporate structure is not what the grandparent is referring to, it’s committing arson to defraud insurance that he’s really referring to. Any other “aKsHuALlY” details you added are distinctions without difference.

              There is a huge difference between an independently owned franchise committing arson vs the manufacturer.

        I mean if they are the ones setting them on fire they don’t need to claim it is arson since it is. They just need to claim they weren’t the arsonists.

        Probably. Unfortunately side effect is it constantly reinforce in people, “wow people really hate teslas” and further damaging the brand. I find it hard to believe Canadians would due this kind of a thing. Not that they couldn’t, i just have a hard time believing it.

        I don’t hear Alex Jones screaming about inside jobs.

        Probably because he’s way too far up EMu’s ass.

          He’s still around? Whatever happened to people knowing when to call it quits and leave everyone’s lives… I swear, ever since the 2000’s and onward people just kind of stick around forever now. Guess that’s another awful side effect of the internet.

            He sure is and I hear you! It’s unbelievable how cringy his show is now.

            One of my favorite podcasts where they spend an ungodly amount of time dissecting his horseshit and laughing at him.

              Such a great podcast! Absolute Talmudic in its thoroughness.

              ‘Know Rogan’ is a pretty good new addition if you haven’t checked it out yet.

                I’ll check it out!
