      I was thinking the same thing. Pass the buck to the impoverished insurance companies. Maybe one less yacht this year.

    Maybe they were just overenthusiastic prospective owners like trying to test the fire safety of the cars before buying. 🤔

    I feel bad for the minority of owners who may have bought before Musk was so obviously shitty. I didn’t really think of him as anything more than the usual tech ceo until the “calling a rescue diver a pedo” thing.

    And I mean it’s likely a very small minority, but I think a more focused protest would be artistically altering cars on sales lots, or on factory lots. Obviously a lot harder to do, so like, any tesla over no tesla? But I’d prioritize the newer models, and ones that tesla still owns or will likely have to pay to reimburse, gets you the bonus of costing them more money outside stocks/sales.

      It’s absolutely not a “small” minority at all, a large batch of buyers were progressives who wanted to step in a direction for a more environmentally responsible means of travel where there isn’t sufficient public transport. I know quite a few personally and they hate owning it but financially, they can’t just get rid of it. They’ve also completely stop using the self-driving after some scary swerves

    Maybe now he knows why most CEO’s and billionaires are content to pull the stings and fuck us over from the shadows. You can’t start dismantling our democracy while throwing up sieg heils and not expect people to fight back. Dumbass.
