The issue is that now your Tesla doesn't read as "I'm a good person" to your peer group. That's a you problem.
But no, I don't think you should commit insurance fraud to recoup the costs in your stupid car.

Their family voted for Trump while they didn't. You can imagine the tension. Nobody is talking to anyone. We are not dealing with regular people though in this case on either side.
Musk has been Musk for a long time.
I'm sorry it came as a surprise to you that he and Tesla go together somehow.

+1. I’m amazed at all the people with Tesla’s who are JUST NOW realizing this. The guy has been a POS for years.

There are so many Tesla owners who loathe Trump that no one is judging you.
Unless you own a Cybertruck, in which case, yes, you're driving around in a pedestrian killer, because the crushable part of the front bumper is smaller than on other trucks, and combined with its massive weight, this ensures pedestrian obliteration, so I judge you for not caring about other people's safety.
Yes, lithium batteries catch fire, and those are harder to put out than most types of fires. If you're parking in a garage that's attached to your house or under your building, just be comforted in the knowledge that battery fires are rare... and make sure your building has smoke/fire alarms.
