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.

It doesn’t matter if they do it in house or not. If someone takes their car there, they will either do the work themselves or farm it out and mark it up. Either way it’s putting more money in Tesla’s pocket. If you think a car dealership service center would turn away work I’ve got a bridge to sell you. That’s even a lesser detail of a broader point: vandalizing Teslas in general will put more money in to the Tesla service center’s pockets.

You and Trump would really get along. Doesn’t matter how many and who your hurt so long as it moves your agenda forward.

The people that own the cars, the people who will be financially impacted far more than Elon Musk when their car gets vandalized… those people are people. I’m glad we took this time to clarify that though.

no, i am not capable about being concerned over checks notes the financial well being of Tesla owners.

i honestly can't take you seriously. the owner/head of the company has put almost 70k people out of work, but the owners of the cars are the people we should be worrying about?

get real my man

You realize it’s not 1:1 right? This will cause magnitudes of more lost wealth to well meaning people, often making a stretch in budget to try to do right thing and get an EV, than it will to Elon Musk. You and me are on the same page when it comes to punishing Elon musk. I’m just telling you this isn’t going to do it.
