[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to keep sharing tales of neighbors who feel empowered to be a*sholes because of this “movement.” So far in AU Park, my car has been egged and keyed. This morning while driving my kids to school, some dork sipping out of a camelback, running down the MIDDLE of the street, decided give me a big thumbs down as I politely pulled over to give him the entire block to jog down. Presumably because I was driving a Tesla. I laughed, but you all look like complete jerks.[/quote] I’m starting to believe that this has nothing to do with your car and everything to do with your terrible personality and the way that you drive. I know several people that have Tesla’s (and can’t wait to get rid of them) and they suffer none of this. Or do you just enjoy making these things up? If you need attention you could just buy a fancy hat or something.[/quote] I guess you can believe whatever you want, particularly the things that don't fit your narrative. Nothing in any of my interactions with neighbors would suggest I'm being targeted because of my "terrible personality." I was never hassled pre-January because of my Tesla. I'm an excellent, considerate driver and generally low-key human. The only thing that has changed is the permission structure movements like TeslaTakedown and others have built around elevating what was previously virtue signaling to light vandalism and public rudeness. I don't actually care, because like every other cause du jour, it blows in the wind. I'll keep my car, and watch with curiosity as all the other Teslas in the neighborhood slowly and sheepishly peel off their "Don't hate me, I'm one of you!" decals.[/quote] This. Tesla Takedown is a big L. You lost a whole bunch of voters, and it’s a matter of time when one of your moronic NPCs runs into a wrong Tesla driver and gets injured or shot. If you keep at violent rude behavior what do you think happens? It’s a numbers game. The first FAFO is arrests of obvious perps doing arson or getting caught on camera and confronted by law enforcement vandalizing private vehicles. If you keep it up it’s a numbers game. There are bound to be road rage accidents that may turn deadly not only for Tesla drivers being targeted but for the other cars around. There must exist truly unhinged Tesla drivers that would make it dangerous for the Tesla Takedown NPC crowd to conduct their “business”. Right now they are enjoying terrorizing THEIR OWN constituents and mostly law obedient and mentally balanced people who bought the cars to help the environment. Gun wielding crowd is going to catch up on ownership of these vehicles at some point. And it’s going to be nasty. People will get hurt and it will either be a war or your moronic politicians will have to finally take a stand. You want neighbor against neighbor shakeouts in residential neighborhoods? There are tons of Teslas in my area, every other house has one. What do you expect is going to happen? Where will anger take you? [/quote] Calling folks NPCs and insinuating they deserve to be hate crimed is not making you look like a stable neighborly fellow. [/quote] Deserve? Do Tesla drivers deserve to be hate crimed like they are? You think so, you are a nasty person. Nasty people who do nasty things to others take risks. You are riding an easy wave with this now because vast majority of Tesla drivers tend to be liberals or moderates who are generally well behaved and law obedient people who care about things. Most of us bought our cars because we don’t want to drive gas guzzlers, not because of political reasons. Now we are driven off the road, have to worry about parking our vehicles, etc. The joke is that there are MANY teslas on the road, so you have failed to bully people to sell them. What is your NEXT step? What will you do when there aren’t any fewer of them on the road despite all your effort? Why is this an NPC movement? This behavior is a result of propaganda programming, not independent thinking. Because if you do have a brain to think then you would realize how illogical bullying of Tesla drivers is, and how risky this can become should it continue to happen simple because it then becomes statistically more plausible to have more violent confrontations. A road to nowhere. [/quote]
