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.

    TBH, you’re only really hurting the owner, and you don’t know their situation necessarily unless you’re in close contact with them all the time.

    Plus Teslas have security cameras.

    It’s generally a bad idea.

      You’re hurting both the owner and Tesla. Car buyers will avoid their products if they have a reputation for being vandalized.

      Is it a good idea? I don’t know. Maybe targeting the dealerships is a better use of efforts.
