They’re very portable, so you can carry them around with you in case you come up with an idea of something to write on your Tesla while you’re out and about. They stick to the surface quite well and don’t wash off in the rain.
(Please try not to succumb to the temptation to write “F**k off Nazi Scum” or similar on somebody else’s though like other people are suggesting. That might encourage people not to buy Teslas, which is a shame, because they’re great American cars.)
If you carry a piece of grit 120 and a dual barrel tube of clear epoxy, you can make your Tesla really stand out for a long time.
If you have epoxy left over you can fix your squeaky doors by applying as much glue as you have along the door. That way the door will stop squeaking on account of it not being used as much.
You people are lost. It’s only a matter of time before one of you gets hurt or killed because you’re defacing private property.
You have absolutely no clue what their political beliefs are simply from the car they own. Half the Tesla’s I see every day during my commute have “anti Elon Tesla club” stickers on them. Some have stickers that say “I bought this before he lost his mind” or some other variation.
I can guarantee you there are Tesla drivers out there right now that have no love for Elon but don’t have any identifiable stuff plastered all over their car. By vandalizing their car you’re just more likely to turn those people against you.
I don’t drive a Tesla and I think Elon is a huge twat, but I think your plans on vandalizing random peoples stuff who you have no idea about is ludicrously insane behavior.
You seem fun. Perhaps you missed this in the title:
CYBER TRUCK
Not random Teslas.
Jeez, what did you harass innocent Russian US citizens when Ukraine was invaded too?
Small mind, small dick energy. I’m not even a Tesla owner, if you do this you’re a straight up loser. If you really care, get a gun and find your real target
Absurd comparison
small dick
does negative count as small or is it like temperature, where negative is hotter than any positive temperature?
American legislature and culture might give off this notion, but cars aren’t actually citizens.
While I get where you are coming from, the flawed logic is that cybertruck owners chose to support elon with their purchase well after he had shown his true colours (though tbf it has only gotten worse since then)
So comparing that to people whose only support of Russia is the fact they were born there (which is out of their control obviously) is not exactly fair
Wait so suddenly the cybertruck owners all made their purchase after elon started doing shit? When did that happen? Either I missed that memo Or there’s no “logic” there you just made a giant assumption.
The comparison is people who do this are automatically lumping giant diverse groups of people together over a thing that’s outside of their control. Noone who bought a Tesla made Elon act like a jackass, and if you’ve dumped multiple years of income into a purchase on something huge and important in your life like, oh I don’t know, a car? You can’t expect everyone to just sprint to the dealership, take thousands less than they paid and swap it out for a different car.
So yeah, this is small minded kyles getting emotional at their parents and punching a hole through their wall.
Wait so suddenly the cybertruck owners all made their purchase after elon started doing shit? When
Literally, yes.
So every Tesla that was bought before twitter (when all this really started ramping up) those just didn’t exist huh?
??? The logic is pretty clear, cybertruck was first entered production in November 2023, and Elon has been doing his shit well before then. This is exactly why I talk about cybertruck owners specifically, because other Tesla models have been out much longer, so people may well have bought them before Elon started doing shit
I’m doubtful people are buying cybertrucks if they aren’t very wealthy to begin with. Changing it out for a different car isn’t going to be a huge loss for them. Plus, yeah, cybertrucks only came out very recently after Elon showed his true colours.
I don’t doubt it, I have financed a phone, saved up to buy fancy tech.
Tech nerds are known for going DEEP into their passions. And I think people forget that not too many years ago the public opinion of musk was very different
You know most people take out a loan to buy a car right?
You know most people don’t take out a loan to buy a 6 figure vanity vehicle. If you purchased a Nazi truck, you had this coming
Base model is 80k I kinda wish I knew someone in real life who was bragging about vandalizing cybertrucks so I could go vandalize their car and listen to the fallout, jk I don’t vandalize people’s cars because I disagree with a ceo…
Also keep in mind I think elon is a very stupid idiot face, have a good one!
because I disagree with a ceo…
Is that what’s happening in the US right now? Just a ceo hanging out in the White House? No big deal… Call me when he does an overtly Nazi action on stage. Wait.
Oh, I’m so glad that you only disagree with Elon and haven’t been personally affected by fascist takeover. Let me know once you wake the fuck up so we can have a real discussion on if it’s okay to vandalize vehicles owned by Nazi supporters.
Look at you, commenting. Doing your part.
Back at ya
What happened to “See a Nazi punch a Nazi”? Why are we playing coy?
See a Tesla, vandalize a Tesla.
Anyone driving one is at best Nazi adjacent and need to learn a lesson on why they shouldn’t be.
Edit:
It is actually disturbing how many people here are okay with supporting a Nazi. Every one of you needs to get your head right.
Fucking disgraceful.

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. You’re just masturbating in public here.
Pathetic.
Hypocrite.
Cry louder.
Nazi supporter.
Explain your logic here
It’s bait. The mental gymnastics needed to call someone who owns a decade old Tesla a Nazi-supporter certainly apply to some number of good/services Arkouda pays for.
While I think this is a fair opinion for all recent swastikars, I know several people who bought a Tesla a decade ago when it still seemed like a positive. They all abhor Musk but are not in a financial position to trade in their paid-off cars for anything else.
Telling random people to “just buy another car” is such an elitist, out of touch take. Also, who’s supposed to buy those used Teslas? If nobody wants to buy them, nobody can sell them.
I hadn’t considered that one before
Someone who bought a Tesla before, who is trying to sell it now, may have to sell it to someone who supports Musk. At a loss at that
Sell their houses to who Ben? FUCKING AQUAMAN!?
Oh he’s going further. He’s saying no one even needs a car.
Pure, privileged delusion.
They made a stupid mistake ten years ago when they bought a car from a conman sex pest pedo-guy.
Edit: I assume every downvote is some poor fool who fell for Elon, and I’m sorry for you :'(
Yes because Lemmy is so full of people praising Elon. Couldn’t be because you’re acting like an ass.
(a) There were far fewer detractors of Musk 10 years ago. I thought he was pretty cool for trying to make spaceships and electric cars. Yes of course there were plenty of signs, and I should have noticed them. Besides that, one could also be forgiven for not thinking he was literally a fascist back then.
(b) What major company isn’t headed by someone on the asshole spectrum somewhere? There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but we still need cars since we ripped up all our train tracks.
No, Musk was a leftist 10 years ago. I saw posts on Twitter of him defending LGBT. He completely went crazy maybe 5-6 years back and went full MAGA. I suspect it was his girlfriend of 4 years dumping him.
Mush was never a fucking “leftist.” He was born extremely wealthy to a family that owned an emerald mine. He’s done nothing but exploit people his entire life.
Which might be the case, but not entirely grounds for punching someone.
Who is punching someone?
@easily3667 @BeardedGingerWonder
See a Nazi punch a Nazi is what they were reffering to.
While woning a Tesla is problematic it isnt grounds for outright violance.
I have only verified that the paint markers work on Cybertrucks, not older models of Tesla.
Cybertrucks are very plain. They need decoration.
I think I read somewhere that brake fluid is a fairly reliable means of stripping paint. A design or message of some type might emerge from a judicious application of such liquid.
While I think this is a fair opinion for all recent swastikars, I know several people who bought a Tesla a decade ago when it still seemed like a positive. They all abhor Musk but are not in a financial position to trade in their paid-off cars for anything else.
Why are you saying that it is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise?
Don’t be weird
If they’ve already bought the car Elon already has their money. Buying another car because we now know what a piece of shit Elon is, doesn’t change that.
If they bought a cyber truck they are pretty much guaranteed to be a dickhead.
Parts and repairs cost money. Then there are subscription fees. Not to mention all of the free data you give the fucker simply driving one that get transmitted to the company.
Parts and repairs cost money
So then why are you advocating for more of them?
It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work
It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work
Or in other, more precise words:
“It is okay to support Nazis as long as you believe you require their products or services”
What a terrible thing to say.
How are you even accessing Lemmy from your completely sustainable hut in the wilderness?
Or are you saying it’s okay to support the destruction of the planet as long as you require infrastructure?

It is laughable that you thought this was an argument.
Go read a book.
So you agree, your line of reasoning is a joke.
Fuck off dude
If it’s bought and paid for, how does it support Nazis?
How does trashing a working vehicle fight Nazis?

Who do you think provides those parts and repairs? Teslas generally don’t get repaired at 3rd party shops… You’re advocating for creating business and generating revenue for Tesla
Don’t be a prick. People have to take care of themselves.
That said if your tesla is vandalized- but not damaged - then oh fucking well, get over it.
Are you going to donate a reliably daily to those who can’t afford a reliable daily to get by after they get rid of this Tesla?
In a car centric society, a reliable car is needed to get to work so you can have income to pay your bills and put food on the table.
If you’re willing to lose your job and income to feed yourself over a car, especially one bought before Musk stopped hiding his shittiness, go ahead.
It’s easy to ask others to sacrifice for your cause, it’s another to ask others when you don’t know anything about their life.
Don’t put words in my mouth

No one needs a car, there are other options. The majority of people get to work without a personal vehicle.

It is easy, and more cost effective, to not own a car. I don’t own a car. My partner doesn’t own a car. Almost everyone I know doesn’t own a car. Every single one of us get to where we are going without a problem.
Musk was always shitty. Supporting him was always a shitty thing to do.
Don’t put words in my mouth
I didn’t. You said what you said, and what you said is “It is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise”.
Your excuses are almost 100 years old at this point, and falling on deaf ears.
I live in suburbs and I have never been able to get by without a personal vehicle. You are lucky to be able to get by without a car.
I never said to support Nazis. Ever.
Someone who doesn’t follow the news as much may not have been aware of Musks philosophy until a few years ago. They might have bought it previously.
I’m saying you should not have to sacrifice your life in the short term. Rather, you can take more time to find alternatives that wouldn’t lead to loss of main income.
So yes, you put words in my mouth.
Are you telling me you’d rather support nazis than help a family in need? 😮
A car that was bought and paid for years ago is not supporting someone who had only really gone off the rails in recent years. Drive it or not, Tesla has already been paid. I guess you could argue parts or charging might continue to support Tesla, but that’s marginal. Most people charge at home, and parts often come from wrecked cars as well.

I’m not sure that would work on the cybertrucks “”“bullet proof”“” windows, they are laminated, and this trick typically only works on tempered glass.
Man I don’t understand what I read but everything in that makes no sense.
How do you crush a commercial spark plug to get something you can throw
Not saying you do, but i imagine a hammer would probably be sufficient. You’ll probably end up with a few good rocks.
Here is a video of someone demonstrating it on a car headed for the scrap yard.
Put it in a bag or wrap it in a towel first so a random chip doesn’t go flying off into your window or eye.
Good point! I’m going to go tweet about it!
I know people who have sold their Tesla(proud of you) but not everyone can afford a new car. Especially if the resale value plummets. People buying NEW Tesla though…
…wait
We toot ‘round these parts, buddy.
Just don’t buy it from Amazon. But it’s really funny lol
If you’re going to buy an angle grinder, and you value your eyes and hands, at the very least choose a brand that isn’t six random capital letters.
Even with QLF disks???
Honestly just a sheet of coarse grit sandpaper would do the trick. Would take all of about three seconds to scratch a big ol swastika on the back of a swasticar.
…it’s like the automotive version of carving a swastika onto the foreheads of the Nazis in Inglorious Basterds, lol.
I would advise against putting a swastika into the world. Nazis see swastika, nazi thinks friends are around.
Well, if you’re going to make a permanent mod to your Tesla, make sure to avoid cutting any of the numerous cameras that record what you’re doing all the time.
