While I'm hesitant to accept anything posted on social media [Reddit, in this case] as something that translates to real-life sentiment of the average person, there has been quite a bit of celebration and encouragement towards damaging Tesla vehicles on there over the last several weeks.

In addition to the a story I saw here of a note with a brick left on a car owners windshield.

Fascinating tactic when you consider that damaging a Tesla is the only way Musk can get more money out of a used Tesla.

But I guess it's just mindless mob hatred.


I don't think you are including the discouraging effect on buying a new Tesla, and being prone to vandalism might also be considered by insurance companies on their calculations.


Also retired the turn signal and shifter stalks. But can they be hired back?


Another example of why Tesla rage is childish.
