Just pay your deductible and you get those
dmarksfat Euros without the hassle of trying to sell a car nobody wants! Genius!dmarks?
Deutsche mark I guess but they are not used anymore
Deutsche marks. Money.
You are aware they’re using the euro?
Duhr, maybe if I thought about it yea. Lol
This is so stupid, burn other people cars because of some stupid Millionaire. People are just dumb
If you have a car that valuable without comprehensive insurance, you were going to learn a hard lesson one way or the other imo. Something as simply as a bad rain storm can really expensive damage. Also, from an impartial perspective, used cars that attract crime seriously harm sales of other used and even new examples; Hyundai/Kia is an excellent example of this. Tesla has already lost virtually all of its reputation yes, but knowing it might be burned to the ground at any second will have even Elon supporters second guessing a purchase.
So it’s fine to destroy insured private property? It’s not like that’s zero cost for the owner of the car
I never claimed it to be fine, to be clear, but again from a purely objective standpoint it seems like a pretty small cost to pay to contribute to the erosion of power a fascist, racist, hateful, and truly dangerous borderline hegemon wields. Perhaps I’m limited in perspective, but at first glance I see 2 main outcomes assuming you’re siding with the vandals: -The Tesla owner disagrees with Elon and was able to claim insurance on the car they’d likely otherwise take a bath on if they tried to sell (especially in Germany) and presumably wanted to get rid of: win-win. -The Tesla owner agrees with Elon and is an enemy of the vandal, which I’m sure they’d consider a win-win (damaging the market image of Tesla, harming an enemy)
To clarify once more, I am not saying I agree with or support the efforts of arsonists targeting regular people, but it seems like there’s asymmetric cost on the side of Tesla assuming properly insured/financially positioned owners so what they’re doing makes sense overall, and is likely effective. Let’s be real, Teslas are positioned as luxury vehicles; these aren’t people scraping buy that are being harmed.
While I get that people try to hurt Tesla’s sales, please don’t set random people’s property on fire. You might destroy the live of someone who bought a car before Edolf Musk rose to power and displayed the extent of his insanity.
Couldn’t care less for Tesla’s fresh out the factory tho
Yeah, I recently saw a Tesla here with a sticker on its back reading:
“I bought this before Elon went crazy”Those will probably get wildly popular to secure their cars
And I’m all with you, that destroying people’s property is just a shit move…
Edit: and forgot to add:
There are still quite some anti-EV people around, that just seem to hate on EVs in general
If such a fucker destroys my Renault EV, I’d be more than just pissednational “buy comprehensive” day would be a pretty strong signal to send
Sorry, English isn’t my first language, so I’m not sure what you mean with “buy comprehensive”
It’s a bit hard to describe for me, how I understand it, without just translating it directly ;-)
(Would be “umfassend” if that helps)So, I understood it like extensive, exhaustive
But I’m not sure how that would translate to my shopping.
Would I just buy everything I need all at once?
But what signal would that send?I guess, I just don’t understand it correctly.
Thanks for helping me out here, I’m a bit stuck here…
They are referring to the insurance policy covering the vehicle. Comprehensive insurance covers vandalism and fire.
Ah, comprehensive insurance!
Ok, thanks!
I’m not excusing burning down innocent people’s property, but Teslas are not cheap.
I doubt anyone who’d lose one would have their life destroyed.
So what are we saying? Destruction of people’s property is cool if it passes some arbitrary threshold that seems like they must be “well off” to own that property?
Does that also mean it’s cool to rob anyone who owns a macbook, on the assumption they’d have a cheaper laptop if they weren’t loaded?
Where I live, the taxi drivers primarily are driving Teslas and other electric cars because they do crazy mileage for their job and so over time the Tesla is actually the most economical choice for them. And that’s just a regular working class job.
I’m saying it’s cool if the property belongs to a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer.
I’m not excusing burning down innocent people’s property
Well you said those words, but then followed on by saying what seems to be an excuse for exactly that - effectively they are rich so they can afford it
The original commenter said that burning down Teslas might destroy the owners life. This is a car that costs somewhere between 40000 (?) and 150000 dollars. Someone who can afford that is highly likely to recover. That’s what this commenter pointed out.
Stating that isn’t saying that it’s cool to burn down a random person’s car.
Fair :)
People regularly buy vehicles significantly above their means for whatever reason.
Many people save up for such a major expense, like a car
So they save up for years, because they really would like to have that one specific car and then some idiot comes around and destroys it, because he doesn’t like the owner of the manufacturerAnd many people bought it while Tesla was pretty much the only decent EV
and even if the driver could buy the car without selling his kidney, it doesn’t mean, that he has a bunch of cars in his home
I’m half joking here, but are we really sure the source of the fire was external?
Teslas aren’t prone to spontaneous combustion
(For the half that wasn’t joke)
That’s true. In an unrelated note there’s a tesla gigafactory near Berlin. Also, there’s a brand new train track to it. Also unrelated, I heard fires are really bad for train tracks.
Most car insurance covers fire, so i hope the owners can collect and buy a different car.
Have a buddy whose dad pre-ordered a cybertruck as celebration for his retirement ~4 years ago.
He’s trying to sell it now but he can’t even drive it because of the harassment lol, a lot of angry people
Elon musk has been a known grifter for almost a decade now, also doing material damage is the only thing that actually works.
If they want to hurt Tesla, attacking their customers’ cars won’t help
deleted by creator
But it will prevent new customers!
but it contains potassium benzoate
So it will help?
Whatever you may think of Tesla or Muskrat, vandalising a persons vehicle is a pathetic move.
Exactly the opposite of Luigi, not even a Tesla dealership but gravely punishing the lowest in the food chain. Not to mention the environmental harm it causes.
Whoever does this is a coward.Germany has the right idea about Nazis. Never again
Yeah, sure. Just don’t look at the last election results.
Fight Nazis by random arson against random citizens property
Sure they’re on the right side /s
Are you purposely malicious or just stupid? AfD, extreme violence against protesters supporting Gaza, currently being tried in the ICC alongside Israel and britian. Germany and clearly most of western Europe and America ike Nazis and have for a long time because the they were the inspiration for the Nazis
Germany is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Neonazis and genocidal fascists.
Lemmygrad moment
I’m waiting for the same happening to the other famous nazi carmakers, like Ford or Volkswagen.
On several occasions there was no need of setting them on fire, happening by itself. Lithium is a metal that is very reactive, it is sufficient oveloading, or puncture a battery to cause an explosion.
