    Is it just me who wonders if this is a fabricated excuse to add armed guards to every Tesla dealer, just itching to use flamethrowers on “insurgents”?

      In the US, do they outfit the Tesla armed guards with flamethrowers? I know they’re legal and I’ve seen clips of the CEO firing a flamethrower a lot.

        I was making exactly that reference to the flamethrower wielding CEO.

        I have no idea what security policy looks like for armed guards in the USA or elsewhere for that matter, but I figured that they’d be wearing guns and walkie-talkies by default. I figured that the flamethrower would be a valued accessory.

          Haha aw I was hoping you were American so I could get that unique and bizarre perspective. Good that you’re not, though 🙂

            I live in the US and have contracted security for events before. Most of them are just an unarmed visual deterrent wearing a uniform and a big walkie talkie (you called it!). Around here armed security is often off-duty police officers making a little extra money off the clock.
