Last week 404 Media reported a website called ‘Dogequest’ was doxing Tesla owners. The site administrators appear to have launched a clone of the interactive map on the dark web too.
Fine by me, vandalizing a car that’s already been bought is where I think it gets pointless and counterproductive. Trashing the dealerships and corporate locations is great because the business is suffering, rather than a random person.
Destroying unsold Teslas at least doesn’t hurt people who may have bought their cars just because at one point Tesla made the best EVs (not even close to the best cars, but definitely the best EVs in terms of powertrain and battery. A while ago, anyway). So there’s way less collateral damage and fewer people to alienate.
There is one caveat though. The dealerships are probably insured and would financially be better off having the cars burn as nobody’s buying them right now. Though maybe if enough Teslas burn, Tesla dealers become uninsurable. Now that would put them out of business real quick.
Additionally, if someone managed to somehow disable a Tesla factory without directly hurting the workers, that would bring tears of joy to many people. The workers themselves are just simple laborers though. It’s not like jobs are easy to come by right now and I’m sure plenty would leave if they could. So I hope nobody shoots up a factory with workers inside or something. Even leaving the moral implications of homicide aside, it would also instantly boost Elon and Tesla in a lot of people’s eyes if something like this happened.
I think the charging stations would be good. It’s not like they’re that useful for anyone not driving a tesla. Even when your non-tesla car can be used in one I’ve heard of people getting harassed by tesla drivers for doing so.
What about destroying unsold teslas, as well as other acts of resistance?

Interesting idea!
Hmm maybe. I’m not sure on the specifics. I thought other cars could use those and that’s why they sell those adapters.
Also it sorta feels wrong to me, ngl. Like one should be hitting oil and gas infrastructure instead.
God gave us two hands for a reason :)
Poetic, I like it 😊 😉
Unfortunately Tesla chargers have been becoming open to other manufacturers to use as well. They no longer serve just Teslas.
Guess who makes the money from the chargers though.
