Swastikcar showing a roman rust pattern in Lower Manhattan

  The problem with vandalising or destroying swastikars is that the cameras continuously monitor the vehicle and surrounds.

  Balaclava, or motorcycle helmet, as much skin covering as possible, and an approach on foot or bicycle would be wise if someone were to attempt such an egregious, obviously illegal, act.

    Eh, they can’t really do anything about it. My brother had a tesla, pre fascists Elon, and someone through a rock at the windshield while it was parked. The camera captured everything and you can clearly see the guy but he couldn’t do anything about it. The cops aren’t going to go on a manhunt through the city for a vandal, this was in Detroit they have better things to do, and the guy looked unhoused anyway so he wasn’t going to get him to pay any way.

    If you already have a can of spray paint in your hands, that sounds like an easy problem to remedy.

      At least if you know where the cameras are

  It’s even money between vandalism and the owner showing his colors.

  • holycrap@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I had a similar thought. How many of these are the owner using vandalism as a cover.

      Now? We’ve been here for a decade. The generally dystopian sci-fi show Black Mirror didn’t make a new season in 2020 because the world was too bleak and fucked up, they put up posters for season 6 which were just mirrors.

  Interesting. Whether you as a potential buyer would avoid tesla or not based on your dislike of the CEO’s politics, would you buy a car that has an increased chance of being vandalised due to the CEO’s politics?

    Cyber truck wasn’t going to last long anyway. It should have been apparent from the get go. Rivian was going to market and Elon panicked. They rushed it out and it’s a relatively low volume vehicle. Tesla is notorious for lack of after sale support. I’ll be surprised if there are any left on the road by the end of the year.

    Yeah there was another thread where OP was pretending to ask about the ethical considerations of “vandalising” teslas. Thing is, I presume OP was a tesla owner because their definition of “vandalism” included drawing things in the dust on the rear window.

    In my opinion it’s a great way to harm Musk financially. Honestly if you’re driving a Tesla you’re carrying water for Musk. Everyone has known he’s a shit head for a long time now. It’s certainly possible for someone’s well meaning grandma to be collateral damage but so be it. Not knowing is not a defense.

    I wouldn’t have the nuts to spray a swatstica on someone’s car, so not necessarily advocating for it and saying that’s what people ought to do, but shit if you feel like it and are aware of the potential consequences then have at it IMO.

    Eh, I would reserve the hate for cybertrucks specifically. A ton of people bought one before he went full Nazi.

      Elmo musk always was a scammer and a liar, way before model 3. That nobody wanted to see that is a different thing that still is ongoing

  A reminder that this is just the working class being convinced to attack each other.

  This is what the rich want.

    Fucking lol. Even if (and that ‘if’ is holding Atlas levels of weight here) it’s someone that’s working class that owns this swasticar, they’re a Nazi supporter. No peace for collaborators.

    Rich does make most of their wealth from the working class being convinced to purchase their products over other alternatives. I don’t think they’d want the working class to consider other brands because of fear of retaliation and rising insurance costs. Ideally brand would be as appealing to as many demographics as possible to increase the potential consumers extract money from than narrow it.
