I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.
I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.
I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.
But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.
That’s not vandalism, it’s just dust someone wiped off. Come on.
I mean technically, if we are talking a painted vehicle, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that could cause minor scratching.
It’s defacing which is under the definition of vandalism.
Bullshit, it’s dust. Nothing has been defaced. That is absolutely ridiculous! Are you seriously arguing that the dust is part of the fucking car? Don’t be silly.
I’m not defending the action but just explaining to you that it literally falls under the definition of vandalism.
If someone wrote on your car with their finger you would probably feel upset and a little violated.
Also this doesn’t exactly apply to this vehicle as it’s made out of steel but if you press dirt into your car’s paint with your finger you will scratch the clearcoat. I feel like I shouldn’t need to explain this even but dirt is in fact, very small rocks.
Writing in dirt is just not vandalism.
You insisting otherwise makes it seem like you might not be asking this question in good faith.
If you define “vandalism” to include “writing in dust” then yes, some types of “vandalism” are ok on any type of vehicle what so ever.
Sometimes people write “wash me” in the dust on someone’s window. Who cares.
You shouldn’t write wash me on people’s cars, that’s such a dick move
