Elon sucks, but vandalizing someone else’s property because of him isn’t cool.

Elon Musk haters have vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks being held ahead of delivery at a parking lot in Florida.

Literally the first sentence of the article. The owner isn’t going to take this loss. Tesla will.

Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!

No shit the owner isn’t taking a loss, the owner now has to wait even longer because some clown wanted to make a statement that Elon sucks. Want to hurt Elon, talk shit about him, he doesn’t give a shit about vandalizing shit.

Causing financial harm to corporations that are harming society is a valid form of protest that had been used as a tactic for over a century.

Vandalizing cybertrucks before delivery is cool. Laws are not the arbitor of coolness.

It’s really not, they’ve all been pre ordered so far. Someone has been waiting on delivery of the ones that have been vandalized.

My heart goes to all the poor souls waiting for their Cybertrucks. They are the real heroes.

I don’t know. Vandalizing luxury cars finds me morally indifferent. I’m not going to argue for vandalizing them but I simply can’t get myself to care enough for the poor souls whose “cybetrucks” need a new paint job.

I don’t care either, but still, it’s arcargitz to fuck with someones shit. If you’re trying to make a statement, damaging property isn’t the way.

Edit: Fixed a phrase that offended someone.

Don’t care. Also, please don’t use “low class” as a slur.

Anybody who buys one of those vehicles is someone who sucks also. Fuck em all.

I’m not going to judge a human by the vehicle he drives. BUT, if I was to, it does seem the BMW drivers traded in their cars and bought Tesla’s.

There’s a difference between buying something because you need it, and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult - and let’s be honest, no one buys a cybertruck because it’s a good vehicle for any purpose.

I’m not sure why people seem to think that sentence says “purchases are beyond reproach,” but it doesn’t. Two things can be unethical with one being much more obviously worse.

Leave other people’s personal property alone, even if they suck.

The problem is having a clown as a CEO for a brand that keeps making people hate him in a very PR visible way. Other car brands don’t get graffiti’d.

Vandalizing the environment isn’t either.

Yet here you are posting on the internet using all those vandalizing products right?

True. Although the value likely went up, so maybe not actual vandalization…

They’re worth a lot at the moment, but very soon the value will tank and all these founders editions are going to be worth at least 30k less.

A substantial number are turning into paperweights within hours of delivery so their value has already tanked

Fuck Cars

!fuck_cars@lemmy.ml

Create post

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
