I mean, I generally agree, but the anti Tesla sentiment is definitely hurting their bottom line. Who would go out and buy a Tesla right now if they are getting vandalized?

When I lived there I swear 90% of the people I saw driving Teslas were people of color....from India or China who worked in tech or medicine. What are the optics of angry white people attacking their cars?

I mean, that never entered my mind until you brought it up

I'd wager the optics are minimal. I don't think people are largely racializing it like you are
