      Not having the phone with you is critical. But I assume planning is done on a laptop or desktop that is obviously not taken with?

        Yep, anonymous browsers, burner accounts, and a VPN if you can. Privacy.sexy is your friend too.

        You just want to set yourself up as best you can for the defense of “you can’t prove that was me.”

    Problem with setting Teslas on fire is we can’t know if it’s an act of protest or if they just did that on their own.

      The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.

      In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

        Probably a lot of the time it is. Nows a great time to do it if you’re gonna.

        Saw a post earlier where a guy was 42,000$ underwater on his and wanted to offload it at that big of a loss before his insurance dropped it entirely.

    “Trump administration looking to categorize Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism” Because Republicans are cowards without principles who can never even think of opposing him.

    In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”

    OK buddy.

    Wow. Having not read the article (just the headline)… I seriously don’t understand why people torch/destroy other peoples stuff! Yes Elon bad, but why attack innocent civilians?! 10-ish years ago, you were considered a leftist nutjob with a hardon for climate change when you bought a Tesla (note: I do firmly believe in climate change), these days you’re a nazi driving the exact same car?… Debate, discussion, even disagreement between parties is all fine and dandy, but actually destroying other peoples property is - in my honest opinion - against the very thing people ‘are fighting for’.

      because true love is only possible in the next world, for new people. it is too late for us. so they wreak havoc on the middle class. tesla owners aren’t exactly in the same working class that the arsonist is likely radicalized by being a part of. burning the cars send a message to nazis, to elon directly, and to a lesser but still real extent, the petty bourgeois class that acts as the operating oppressive arm of the oligarchy. not saying its right or moral or good or bad for any cause, just likely the mindset of someone who is setting fire to nazi cars in 2025.

        A tesla is well within the range of affordable for a working class person. Someone with a decent job will be making 100k, and it’s not hard to get a Tesla on that budget.

          100k would put you right in the middle class. a working class person is going to be making less than like 65k a year and supporting a family on that.

            Working class does not mean poor. It means people who work for their living. You have frontline manual labor workers who make over 100k and you dare suggest that just because they put in the work to unionize, that they aren’t working class?

    It’s only ok to be violent if you’re a Republican. I’m not supporting this, but since Jan 6’ers were pardoned then these car vandalisms are totally legal too. I think they’re equally immoral.

    Stick to the showrooms and dealers. The victims in Las Vegas was just owners who brought their cars in to be fixed.

    Been thinking about this a lot. They can say it’s terrorism. History is written by the winners.

    But…

    Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal. If you rebel, you die a terrorist or live a hero. Not much middle ground.

    Imagine having to resort to violence against a private company just because you lost an election LMAO 🤣

    You guys do realize that by promoting this, you are doing JD Vance’s campaign for him, right?

    The stunlock continues at pace.

      If the major stakeholder and CEO is actively being an unelected politician addressing policy changes onto the public, then repercussions need to happen.

      It would not be wise to show people that they can achieve plutocracy. Plutocrats only lose their power by losing their wealth, so if that’s what has to happen, then that is the plan.
