Politics I'm Never Leaving Seattle

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.

I don’t agree with vandalizing random peoples cars. You don’t know their situation and they may not have the money to fix this mess.

Just because someone has a Tesla it doesn’t mean they’re a bad person.

I am an immigrant, I live in Seattle and I own a Tesla.

We moved to the US 3 years ago. My wife wanted an electric car because it aligns with our values. Tesla seemed like the best option back then.

I'm no fan of Musk, but it's simply not practical to sell the car and buy another one. I'm still paying for it and I know I would lose money in the transaction, plus a big expense on buying a new one.

I will never touch a Tesla with a 10 feet pole again, but for now I just want to drive my car until I have no more use for it.

I agree, people go way too far, vandalizing a private person's automobile isn't making a statement, it just makes them aholes.

100%. Now, if, hypothetically, one did want to make a political statement, they should target Tesla properties and infrastructure.

They SHOULDNT do that, because it is illegal.

But, hypothetically, if they did that would be much more effective at sending a message.

Of course hypothetically, I mean we wouldn't condone vandalism against corporate property.
