    Funny house suddenly Teslas have become more valuable as an insurance payout then they are as a car.

    Imagine you buy a car and it gets burned down because the owner of the car company turns out to be a Nazi.

    I would like Tesla to go bankrupt too but cheering on regular peoples property being destroyed is wrong.

      So many people on social media cheering for vandalizing other people’s private property just because they disagree with the politics of the maker of their cars. Wild.

      Sure, I have some sympathy for those who bought them years ago.

      But let’s not mince words. If you buy a Tesla today, you are literally a Nazi collaborator.

      Those who bought a Tesla much earlier were more like one of those few people who bought one of Hitler’s paintings during his starving artist phase.

      Read this thread man. People have become fucking deranged, cheering on destroying the property of people who likely had no reason to believe they’d be making car payments to a Nazi.

      Frankly if you’re not out canvassing for politicians you support or helping organize a union or something but you can find the time to cheer on the destruction of what is likely a worker’s property, you need to get a grip.

      What are you talking about? Those could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.

      Now it’s just a waste.

          Yeah, no.

          All of you people said the same flawed argument and it’s sad that you thought you had a point.

          Really puts things into perspective why things are the way they are.

        Yeah I’m sure these people really would have willingly sold their Teslas and then gone on to donate that money to poor people.

          Who said anything about willingly?

          Did they willingly have these teslas burned?

          Sad this needs to be spelled out for you.

    This is not the solution.

    Those could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.

    Really puts into perspective how smart you people are for cheering for this. Bunch of knuckle-dragging neanderthals.

      If the car owners sold the car, they’d have cash but no car. And apparently they need a car, else why have it in the first place. So no, the money was never going to feed the poor.

      Now the owners will get compensated by their insurance and can make a smarter choice for the replacement vehicle. Tesla owners get a message, and they only one hurt is the insurer.

        My god, every single one of you are repeating the same thing.

        It’s insane how low average intelligence has gotten, but here we are.

        This is why the disparity in wealth is what it is.

      So did you already sold all your possessions to help the poor? That question is just as absurd as your comment.

      There is no “solution” here, vehicles are not meant to be “solutions” by using their diminishing value to get money to help the poor. If they were, you would be saying this to EVERYONE that owns one, not even public transportation should be safe from your rhetoric.

      This is the exact same mindset that makes fElon think that he can just give money to the UN and magically world hunger would be gone. No, simply no.

        No… but if we’re going to burn these vehicles why not reclaim and sell them instead?

        All of you “smart” people are making the same argument that the owners of these vehicles would have to choose to sell them. Did they choose to have them set on fire? No. So we can sell the vehicles instead of setting them on fire and use the money to help those in need.

        Wow. It’s so sad this needs to be spelled out for you people, but it’s to be expected at this point.

    Oh dear ! Must be those batteries spontaneously combusting. I remember when that used to happen to Samsung phones a while back.

    Were they really set on fire, or did their batteries just explode? This could very well be another case of the new and improved Pinto spontaneously going off.
