People disguising their Teslas

[Anonymous]

While you can cancel a Cybertruck pre-order and get a full refund before delivery, after delivery, Tesla is reportedly refusing to take Cybertrucks back as trade-ins or allow owners to resell them within the first year.

I don't feel bad for the idiots that bought these. First they signed away their own consumer rights the idiots and they paid $82,000 and up for garbage.

I don't they did not do their homework.

Reviews are horrible. Most are unsafe.

Another review came out yesterday.

Plus, it was clear that Elon was a terrible person well before the 2024 campaign! He’s been demonstratively awful for a LONG time so these folks that are only having regrets about their Teslas now can F off.

This is funny and I'm sure it would anger Elon. Seeing as Grimes went to the Met Gala with that giant T logo around her neck a few years back.

I approve.

Anger Elon? You know it’s still a Tesla, right? You’re hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!

He loves everything about his cars. I'm sure he wouldn't like it if people starter removing the logo. He put it on his baby mama!

I get being embarrassed to have one, and realize a reluctance or difficulty to trade it in. But, this seems kind of tacky and a stretch too far.

Thoughts?

Probably worried they’re going to be attacked or their car vandalized.

This. Don't overthink. I don't even have a Tesla, but I have thought about putting a sign at night on the window 'car is empty, door is open, no need to break the window, it won't start, has tracker', so that the window would be there in the morning. This is in a nice neighborhood.

Our Tesla was keyed in a grocery store parking lot two weeks ago. We've ordered an anti-Elon bumper sticker.

I saw two cyber trucks on Saturday. I was not happy to see them.

I had a colleague whose car window was broken at Dupont Circle so the thief could get the umbrella on the seat.

I have despised Elon since the Thai boy's soccer team incident years ago, but I do not condone, nor am I happy with people destroying property. Wasn't happy when J6 insurrectionists invaded our Capitol; wasn't happy with some of the BLM protestors who vandalized/stole from businesses (though I do believe most were not actual BLM protestors but opportunists who are ok with stealing); not happy about people doing this to Teslas.

Yep he’s been a complete nut for a loooong time. People just weren’t paying attention and wanted a trendy car.

We purchased ours years ago to reduce our carbon emissions. We also got solar panels, rain barrels and plant native plants in our yard. At the time it was by far the best option for an EV.

But looking at the car, most people can see it’s clearly a Tesla. I saw one with an Audi symbol on it; a simple search would show that Audi does not have z model that looks like that.

I think the peaceful protests outside Tesla Dealerships are a good thing. But the property destruction just plays into the conservative trope about dems having TDR and being destructive (e.g. the BLM protests that turned into some looting). They worship Kyle Rittenhouse and think dems are violent and they need to protect themselves.

No one is going to come around or be persuaded through property destruction.
