A woman in Colorado has been arrested after police caught her with expIosives at a TesIa dealership, police said.
The 40-year-old suspect, Lucy Grace Nelson, was arrested on Monday after the Loveland Police Department launched an “extensive investigation” following a series of vandaIizations at the dealership in Loveland, Colorado.
Wow - great way to help our cause!
All that’s going to do is make some insurance companies more money. If she’s gonna throw her life away she should’ve just gone after Elon lmao
I only agree with the last 7 words, hard disagree with everything before that tho.
Blowing up Teslas at a dealership gives both the dealership and Tesla more money, as well as makes them have to build another one.
That’s a W for the wrong side, unless you just like seeing aimless destruction
Edit: like if you really wanna blow shit up, go after Teslas that have already been bought. Make people hate owning them, insurance rates for them go up, etc. Much more effective
It actually doesn’t give them more money, and it’s actually pretty costly if you look at at the situation past a very basic/immediate view of the situation.
How does Tesla/dealership get money? From insurance claims. Do you think the insurance claim is going to cover 100% of the money the sale would have made, or just inventory value and maybe a bit more for lost revenue? Do you think the insurance company is going to cover list revenue while the inventory is being repurchased and shipped, and any repairs are being made? And if you think they get all of the above, do you really think they’re not going to be paying higher liability premiums?
Which costs them money and time. Both things that can’t be recouped 100%.
The best way to hurt a company is to fuck with their insurance. Inventory comes and goes, but insurance companies can sink a business by refusing to underwrite. Melon may be able to float without for a while, but the investors will have a conniption of that goes on for very long.
I’d totally agree with that if the dude wasn’t an arm of the executive branch. They’ll get what they want as this point. Look at that deal they’re pushing with the Cyber Trucks.
Just make it inconvenient to own them. Vandalize the already bought cars. Far easier to get people to stay away if they know they’re going to get their tires slashed or risk driving around all day with “Nazi” spray-painted all over it
This is silly. There’s no sustainable way to profit from insurance claims. Whatever short term “profit” Tesla may get from a claim will be wiped out when the insurance companies raise prices to cover it. Insurance companies don’t have unlimited money.
Especially if investors are getting wind. Stock holders won’t hold if they think public sentiment is that bad.
