As a one off, sure.

As a concerted effort to remove the wealth and power of the man who is doing an incredible amount of damage to the US and the entire world, I'll allow it.

Attacking a private person who already has paid for the car doesnt really do much to Tesla and merely will have the same effect that those people glueing themselves to the streets have: making their cause known but reflected negatively on by those people they need to convince about it being a good thing instead.

Attacking Tesla charging stations has a certian effect for sure.
Attacking a Tesla trader is a grand show of dislike.

It’s pretty infantile to vandalise some someone’s Tesla because you don’t like Elon Musk.

I don't know any infants that would risk their liberty to make a political statement against fascism, unchecked & unaccountable power, or tyranny... So no, I don't believe it is infantile.

... what it is, is likely criminal damage, which is fine, and I'm sure people caught doing it will be held accountable.

The fact they choose to put themselves at risk of prosecution by committing these acts, is not something I'm about to condemn or cry about, personally.

Agreed for the most part.

Certain Teslas draw more ire than others, and that's probably as it should be. The Cybertruck, for example, is very much about Elon's particular personality and insanity, whereas the model 3 or Y is really not tied to him in that way. That's why people hate on Cybertruck owners.

But I like that people hate on Cybertruck owners. I like that Cybertruck owners are complaining about getting the middle finger constantly in traffic. Honestly I think they should have expected it, but also, I want them to have trouble selling it. I want them to realize that nobody wants it, not just because it's dumb and doesn't work, but because it has a stigma.

I do wonder if someday Teslas are going to be like VW Beetles, once the Nazism is somehow under wraps.

It makes other people think twice before buying a Tesla, even if they don't particularly care about what Elon Musk says and does. And for that reason it may well harm Tesla's future sales.
