I don't understand the support for this. How is it that someone who's bought what was - for years! - the best EV available, is getting in the crossfire of musk hate?
Destroying private property in protest is just stupid. Take on the cooperations, but not the other 99% trying to get by.
Tesla owners might/might not be 99%, most tesla owners I know are if not in top 1% definitely in top 5%, edge of top 5% isn't crazy rich compared to the other 95%.
That being said most developed places like Germany, these cars must be insured there is a good chance that other than some trouble of going without a car for a short while, Most of the damage is stock of tesla as mor e people would be afraid of buying them.
Since they're expensive, I'd expect most of those to be leased or bought with a loan
I don't get the "fuck those regular people for buying a car made by a pretty damn good company that happens to be owned by a Nazi"
People bought cars like that on 5 year loans
