People need perspective. The right is literally killing people with policy and detaining /disappearing citizens and destroying this country.

The left is burning cars in protest as it actually hurts the bottom line of a right leader. The other leftists are more apauled at the burning cars than at the stuff the right is doing that is much worse.

I've got news for you. This is going to get a lot worse than burnt cars if you ever want it to get better.

I'm indifferent on unsold Teslas being targeted, not like law exists in this country anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am absolutely 100% fucking appalled that people would be ok with doxing Tesla owners. These are real people with families who now have to fear for their safety because they thought it was cool technology when they bought the car. They also may not be able to easily afford to sell the car and buy a new or used one right away.

This does nothing good for anyone and hurts any resistance movement and sadly makes any resistance look like it lacks empathy for fellow human beings just like how what the right is doing shows they lack empathy.

This is gonna be the thing that splits the left into “fuck yeah burn them” and “this is going too far” and then nothing will get done because we’ll focus too much on infighting. Can’t we all come together for something not stupid like destroying random people’s cars? If you’re going to take drastic measures, at least do something more productive. Throw a Molotov at your representatives’ cars instead. I have no tears for a burnt Tesla, but I wish people were using this energy to punish more deserving people in more meaningful ways. I’m still waiting on all those “Luigi copycats” people keep thinking are gonna appear

Billionaire Media just learned not to sensationalize them.

My friend told me about this show he was working at. It was a pharmaceutical meeting with lots of c suite execs.

They told him to not mention to anyone that the execs would be there on account of "recent news".

I fundamentally disagree with doxing regular people. It's one thing if it's a public figure who is actively antagonizing people and using anonymity as a layer of protection against repercussions for their awful acts. But publishing the names and addresses of people who simply bought a car is not something we should be doing.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Normally I'd agree.

But, I don't really care anymore.

One side has crossed all sorts of lines and now pushback is happening. Innocents always get caught up in situations like that.

They can sell their Teslas.

Isn't this just class infighting though, something completely against the benefit of the workers so the owners can continue to pick our pockets while we aren't looking?

I went there and there are 5 people listed on it, like Elon and Kash Patel. If they have regular innocent people on the site it isn't showing them to me.

The vast majority of icons are just dealerships and superchargers.

I feel like unless you bought an Incel Camino or a brand new Tesla like in the last year, you really shouldn't be on the receiving end of quite so much hate, TBH. They were the car that finally got EVs off the ground as an acceptable alternative, so it's a shame early adopters are possibly being lumped in with MAGA truck owners.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 3 days ago (9 children)

The only reason EV's never got off the ground in the US is because the auto industry was shutting that shit down every step of the way. Iirc a few people even got disappeared. There are numerous documentaries out there.

I agree though, going after regular folks just because they bought a car isn't cool. People should stay focused on the actual fascis7s.

Leaf was the first "off the ground". Tesla were the first to show that production EVs weren't limited to boring econoboxes.

Anyway, you can filter out early adopters because they didn't have factory anti-chrome, so if you see a shiny trim around the windows - it's probably got a pre-public meltdown era owner.

The energy is good, the aim is shit.

This manhunt for Tesla owners is wild. The overwhelming majority of these cars will have been bought way before everything went to shit.

You really need to get your head out of your own ass if you think this is the route to get people to join your cause. Not everybody is in a position to arbitrairily sell their car and donate proceeds to charity like these Hollywood stars.

If the car is even yours to begin with and not a lease or company car.
