> Kristallnacht-like environments for Tesla owners. C'mon, Kristallnacht? I'm not seeing any moves towards rounding up Tesla owners and sending them to camps. There's no political party carrying out organized pogroms against Tesla owners. No comparison whatsoever. I've seen quite the opposite in liberal areas: a lot of empathy for neighbors who bought Teslas a while ago because many - Tesla owners or not - feel deceived by Elon. That's how I feel about my neighbors with Teslas. None of them bought them with the intention of promoting techno-feudalism, and because it's an expensive product, they are stuck with it for a while. Far less of a pass for cybertrucks. Even absent Elon's politics that thing is rolling fuck you to everyone else on the road.

In that analogy, it’d be the government burning down Tesla dealerships as part of a false flag operation, rounding up liberals, and sending them to camps. I haven’t heard of that happening either. Anyway people stuck with an old Tesla can just get an anti-musk bumpersticker.

> Far less of a pass for cybertrucks. Why not? I got one because I liked the look and it's a fantastic family car (and house power backup). I'm not "promoting techno-feudalism" or anything so sophisticated. For many of us, it's just a car. I simply like it and it does what my family needs in a car. But because of all of the "ok fine, give the Tesla owners a pass but fuck the cybertrucks" people like you, I now get to worry about being assaulted for driving it or coming back to a vandalized, damaged car with my kids in tow. Hence the Kristallnacht-like comment.
