Multiple Teslas set on fire in Germany
Multiple Teslas set on fire in Germany
German police said that four vehicles were set on fire in Berlin on Friday morning, and that political motives could not be ruled out.

What do you call it when half the Teslas in a showroom are on fire?
A good start.
A waste of resources.
They all could've been sold and the money used to help poor people.
Now there's nothing. Yay.
Kids in Africa could eat those cars!
No, but they could buy food and farming equipment with the proceeds from selling these cars. It was an opportunity to redistribute wealth.
Now it's just a waste.
They all could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.
Nice fantasy. But no, that was never going to happen in real life.
Now there’s nothing.
Now there's a clear message in international headlines, and one heard by those trying to profit using Tesla.
Nice fantasy. But no, that was never going to happen in real life.
I know, it's because you people value the wrong things. Doesn't mean it's not the proper solution.
It’s not because we value the wrong thing. It’s because of basic laws that protect us all.
How could they be reclaimed? They are owned by somebody who legally owns them. Unless the owner is found guilty of something that entitles the government to take possession then there’s no legal way to do that.
If someone is going to reclaim it illegally they’re also not going to use that money to help people. You don’t get many Robin Hoods so the criminals that do it are most likely to keep the proceeds for themselves.

The fuck? It's illegal to burn these cars too, smart person.
Taken from other comment debunking you people:
You can steal the vehicle too. You can discuss and support policies that take the assets of the ruling class by force.
Sad this needs to be spelled out for you people, but I don’t expect more at this point.

Keep in mind this article is about Teslas in Germany, where expropriation is legal if a judge deems it to be for the greater good. But that's only really possible in theory and thus far doesn't happen in practice
If that's what the money was being used for Teslas wouldn't be getting torched.
I'm saying these cars could've been reclaimed, sold, and then the money used to help poor people.
How do you just "reclaim" a vehicle, especially one with all these software and hardware dependencies. I don't know if a stolen Tesla is worth anything at the moment besides scrap.
Sure, it's a waste of resources, but those resources were never going to help anyone so it's not really wasted.

How do you just burn a vehicle, especially with all those law enforcement officers ready to persecute you?
With a smile on my face.
So... you can steal the vehicle too. You can discuss and support policies that take the assets of the ruling class by force.

I don't think that's how most car showrooms work, let alone Tesla showrooms.
Do they work by setting the cars on fire?
They work by giving all the money to Elon Musk, who needs it less than anyone on the planet except Jeff Besos.
The point wasn't to make the showroom work though. It was to make the showroom not work, and fire does that job wonderfully.
Right. Instead of destroying these cars, we should've taken them, sold them, and used the money to help those in need.
Sorry this needs to be spelled out so many times for so many of you, but it really puts into perspective how "smart" the average internet user has gotten.
What do you mean "taken them" Do you think Elon just sells the cars and gives the money away? Or are you talking about stealing the cars? What do you think can be achieved with that? The car will be found eventually and returned. The person who bought the stolen car lost their money and politically you achieved nothing.
You're correct, this course of action wouldn't harm Elon Musk at all.
But I think you're mistaking the user you're talking to for something other than a right wing troll trying to sound like they care about poor people.
That’s a great idea… if that was ever done in the history of the world… ever
Hey, it's why things are the way they are.
We don't care to reduce the disparity in wealth.
I like your how nonsensical trying to connect unrelated things together, did you forget your meds. How do you propose to acquire something owned by some else that doesn't belong to you
There's nothing unrelated about this.
You people just succumbed to your herd mentality and there is no force in the universe that can overcome it.
Really puts things into perspective for anyone with a brain. I can tell the next generation is taking hold, and it isn't pretty.
