I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I'm kind of on the fence about it.

I've seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that's worth less than scrap.

Last time I checked, it was not mandatory to work for Toyota, so anyone feeling overworked there could leave. Unlike those feeling threatened under President felon, who can't just up and leave the country. Regarding the "retrofuturistic shape" I wrote above: "put a higher weight on looks".

So the reps were right all this time?

Lemmy conceding to the right. What a time to be alive

Last time I checked, it was not mandatory to work for Toyota, so anyone feeling overworked there could leave.

So it's fine for Musk to abuse Tesla workers and union bust, because they can leave? Is that what's you are saying? I'm not sure the fact someone can leave is any excuse for a CEO's behavior.

Unlike those feeling threatened under President felon, who can’t just up and leave the country.

Unlike those at Toyota, a Japanese company where it's the cultural norm to work at the same corporation your entire life, and it's unthinkable to leave or complain about your employer?

Anyhow, it was just a made up example, I know nothing about Koji Sato, maybe he's amazing. My point is that buying a car is not a political statement and not an expression of support for the CEO of the car company. It certainly can be, but it usually isn't.
