80 Teslas damaged at Hamilton dealership, largest car vandalism reported in Canada against the U.S. company | CBC News

Tesla could solve most of their problems by firing Musk. Any other public company whose CEO makes a very public Nazi salute would fire that CEO.

Yes, he'd still be a large shareholder, but I think simply getting him out of the company would give a lot of people the sense that he faced some personal consequences for his actions, and that any companies who deal with Musk will also face consequences.

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

It's very sad that people care more about the feelings of cars than the feelings of people. Cars fucking suck. Cars are tools of oppression.

In the words of Duke Nukem, "Hail to the king baby"

The king being us, the people, who outnumber the billionaires, the billionaires who can still bleed.

And if it bleeds we can kill it.

Burn it all down! Every thing that fascist fuck has!

Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn't he say Canada isn't a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did...

I wonder what the insurance premium on a Tesla is these days?

Oh no... Any way...

oh no.

When Trump said he'd prosecute tesla vandals "with the full force of the law" it really highlights the unequal enforcement in our system. Its like saying "I'm going to turn on law enforcement right now just for this issue". He clearly does not believe in laws or law enforcement, or else he'd see how absurd a statement it was.

This and their dismantling of the EPA, IRS, FBI, and justice system shows that republicans are soft on crime, soft on wealthy tax evaders, soft on the legal system in general, and disrespectful of law enforcement, except insomuch as they can be used as personal storm troopers for issues they care about-- usually to promote racism and class stomping of the poors.

Republicans are soft on America, but rock hard for Russia. I hope republican voters are proud.

The dealership has insurance and destroyed cars are like sold cars for Te... that company. Or am I missing something?

those are rookie numbers, we can do better!

I’m not too concerned about the dealerships. They have insurance. But can these people stop doing it to privately owned vehicles? And also, stop harassing the telsers on the road. I’ve seen a few videos now of drivers being harassed. That’s not Canadian.

Make their insurance super high.

Largest case of insurance fraud from an automaker**

It's believed to be the largest vandalism in Canada against vehicles from the U.S.-based car company.

This strikes me as an odd qualifier.

Have there been larger vandalism incidents in Canada against vehicles from companies based in countries outsides the states?

Is Tesla sabotaging their own cars in order to commit insurance fraud?

Keep up the good work, brothers!

What??? A Venezuelan who hasn't been rounded up, deported and slung into in a third world concentration camp without even the pretense of due process?!?

Come on Canadia, is that really the kind of country you want to live in???

/s

The damage included "deep scratches and punctured tires."

That's it? Y'all Canadians are so polite.

American here, careful Canadians you're walking on thin ice. We're about to beg for your eggs while kneeling rather than grovelling on the floor. I'm fucking serious, we won't pay a dime more than $1 per egg. Pretty please. This is your last warning.

I read something earlier in the week about a tesla dealership being vandalised here in N Ireland. Might be a worldwide thing.

Remember a guy telling it is more efficient to paint over sold Tesla to discourage buyers. But we have to admit news of burning Tesla is pretty discouraging too.

yet

Dumb ass American here. Does Canada's prime minister or some other official have the same kind of pardon power our president does? Because they could do something pretty cool right now.

Didn't trump say he would concider the vandalism towards teslas a form of terrorism? And hasn't the usa used terrorism as a way to forcefully enter countries in order to "fight terrorism "? What if these acts have been performed by agents from the US to give the government an excuse to invade?...I'm also very stoned right now.

Oh noes

Anyway

Doing God's work

vandalism

Surely you mean "terrorism"!

hell yeah

I am of the opinion that no one should be vandalizing property that they don't own themselves. Protest, sure (following whatever laws Canada has in place for that), don't buy a Tesla, sure, encourage everyone you've ever met not to buy one, fine, but please respect the right of people who don't want their stuff vandalized.

Also, while dealerships have insurance, doing this just makes the insurance go up for everyone. But that's not my point. People shouldn't vandalize the property of others because they really, really, really x5, don't like Elon.

I'm not an Elon or Trump apologist, I'm just someone fighting on the side of civilized behavior.

Awe shucks. I could not stoop to vandalism and destruction of the shitty neo-Nazi BEVs. I would prefer the vehicles to be unsold and collect dust until Tesla enters bankruptcy. Tesla, himself, must have flipped in his grave several times.
