Who is vandalizing the cars? Why doesn't police arrest them?
- mocana 9mo agoThey have arrested some. Have heard of Teslas getting keyed too. My sense is that Elon being less in the spotlight recently has allowed some of the anger he provoked to cool off. But the brand damage, I am afraid, is permanent. https://www.wcvb.com/article/tesla-vandalism-incidents-continue-across-massachusetts/64421314 https://www.wcvb.com/article/tesla-vandalism-incidents-conti... https://youtu.be/NpFpfOemGR0?si=eMK0rMeRrv-gIKCT https://youtu.be/NpFpfOemGR0?si=eMK0rMeRrv-gIKCT
- beardyw 9mo ago> But the brand damage, I am afraid, is permanent Afraid? Are you somehow invested in Tesla?
- triceratops 9mo agoYes they said they own a Tesla. They may want to sell it one day. Bad publicity hurts its value.
- mocana 9mo agoI am unhappy about Tesla's slide. My car is indeed worth less as there uncertainty about the company's ability to provide parts and services long term. More importantly, Tesla was an American company making cars in the U.S. and leading the world in production and technology of EVs. Musk has stupidly pissed away Tesla's position and ceded it to Chinese companies. Perhaps this sounds overly nationalistic, but leading in one of the key industries of the coming decades in the U.S. would have been good for the country.
- iwontberude 9mo agoThe police are underfunded and understaffed since Covid here in Silicon Valley. They won’t pursue your vandalism cases if they are just the value of a car.
- cmxch 9mo agoYet they probably would jump on the person that dared to defend themselves from the vandal.
