I'm curious how destroying Tesla dealerships hurts them. They have insurance, and are reimbursed after a claim. I get it shows how upset and discontent people are with the company. Am I missing something more?

Several ways, although it’s not enough:

  • insurance rates go up, and eventually will make them uninsurable
  • until the dealership is rebuilt, they can’t really sell cars from there
  • sends a relatively strong message about how hated they are
  • dissuades people from shopping there
  • a point of escalation above a boycott, on the way towards a guillotine for the CEO.
