Anyone else worried about their Tesla getting vandalized?

What’s funny about Teslas is the AI will take over driving if it thinks something is about to happen. You can drive at the edge of your lane and the car will let you bully it by driving away from you. I’ve seen videos of people taking advantage of these features by aggressively cutting them off, knowing the autopilot would just get out of the way.

Yes, and this is why it's a very safe car to drive. The insurance is actually cheaper because of these features. You should stop being a bully when driving. Driving is not a junior high school game.

I’d worry about the cyber truck getting vandalized. Most people know teslas were bought by liberals before all this DOGE stuff. Ironically magas hate Evs, except cyber truck I guess.

Am I wrong to worry about it getting vandalized? I'm thinking about getting the anti-Elon bumper sticker, but will vandalizers actually check for the sticker, especially after dark?[

No lol u
But yep they will paint it glorious Nazi symbols

More likely they will take the air out of your tires at the valve stem

Hope so

Nobody seems to be angry about DOGE, moreso the Nazi stuff. I would get the sticker just to make a statement in general.

Tesla’s are not reliable or save Consumer reports and Motor trend Consumer Reports
In 2022, Consumer Reports gave Tesla a reliability score of 40/100, which is average for domestic automakers.
In 2025, Consumer Reports named Tesla and Rivian among the least reliable auto brands

FFS, you people are sick in the head and want to cause accidents and get hurt and hurt people because of stupid political reasons?

Yeah, I agree here. You know people who drive a CyberTruck bought it after all the crazy came out, but I'm still not going to be a jerk about it. I know a ton of people with model 3s and Ys who are nice, normal folks who just wanted an electric vehicle. They are all Dems and want the same things as the rest of the non-Maga country.

Tesla or not - that is a terrible city to drive and park in for any car.

Rent and have your employer cover the risk.

I would take train to Philly. I’m not particularly worried about my Tesla being vandalized. If someone keys it, I don’t really care. I guess if someone smashes it up with a baseball bat, that would be a PiTA. But that seems unlikely. I hate Musk with an absolutel passion but I’ve had the car since the Obama administration and it seems dumb to junk a perfectly good car.

It is dumb. We've had ours since 2018 and it's still very reliable. It would be foolish to sell it and take on a car payment.

In fact, MAGAs hate EVs, so you'd be hard pressed to fine one in a Tesla.

Not at all.

It doesn't work. A guy in a giant truck with wheels higher than most cars tried that with DH and he ran into us. It was probably because of the stupid giant wheels.

I dont let Teslas merge anymore.
