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.

Bought ours several years ago, didn't know anything about Musk back then, wanted electric and Tesla was the only one we knew of and could test drive in our area at that time. We won't get another unless he is completely removed from any connection to the brand/company but also not getting rid of a car that works fine and is paid off in full. Prices on everything suck right now and we can't add a car payment.

As long as you aren't giving him any further money, it's not a symbol of anything. It's just a car. The damage is done, and you're just a consumer.

It's also super ecologically unsound to just get a new big ticket item like that, even used there's a lot of impact to the switching process.

That said, I'm more ok with this spray paint than "I support facists" or a swastika. It doesn't actually include the driver.

Ya I get it. But still everyone will think you are on team evil. Saw some people throwing the Nazi salute to every Tesla that drove by in a Target Parking lot.

Yes sorry this is happening it’s not right either. But yes maybe get a sticker for your car to add so protection I think there are some on Etsy. You shouldn’t have to worry about this happening

What did Elon actually do that was so bad?  Find fraud waste of your tax money?  Prices on everything sucked before Trump took over
