They're there for a model change. We don't need more cars, we need less cars (and less of several other things). So the agenda is very simple: just don't build. And yes, maybe Tesla will go somewhere else but other activists will fight there.
And yes, activists will loose that fight, but they'll go on and ultimately, things will change. Paid holidays came like this. The end of slavery too. And a few other things.
There's no "realistic solution" because there is simply no choice to make. It's just "no means no".
Now, hopefully, those activists won't buy cars or buy the least possible. And that will have an effect too. But then you'll say: "if we stop selling cars then what's the solution? what about the workforce". Then again: they'll do something else. Because the governments don't want to see unemployment. And maybe there will be too much unemployment. But then again, maybe it's time to adapt to a new world where 50% of population is unemployed. But believe me, when that number will be big enough, politics will adapt.

So the agenda is very simple: just don't build Then motion for capping car sales, or adding a massive tax to them. This protest just shifts supply to imports and ICE vehicles. More pointedly: to cars not made in their backyard. It has zero effect on Germany’s car cult743 because they’re not targeting cars broadly, they’re not even targeting cars near them; they’re targeting this (and only this) factory. > when that number will be big enough, politics will adapt If protests cause 50% unemployment (or a 50% drop in living standards), the historic political adaptation is a government that ends the right to protest.
