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.

    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.
