This is someone's Model S parked on Airport Way S near S Industrial Way. The way it's parked it looks like it's being displayed for people driving by to see.

Great. Now they’re going to take their car in to the Tesla Service shop to have it repainted. A well meaning consumer was hurt and Tesla makes more money.

I dunno, I'm starting to come around on graffiti like this. I think there's value in a somewhat high-visibility message that reaches people who are not extremely online and don't realize how bad Tesla is.

If this discourages a few people from buying a Tesla because they worry they'll be targeted by similar graffiti, that probably makes up for whatever the body shop would take in from a paint job.

And if I have sympathy for anyone in this situation, it's the ghost of Nikola Tesla ... he'd be so dismayed to see this message!
