    The huge loss (in sales volume and therefore 2nd hand price) has mainly occurred because Musk is meddling politically.

    Shit dropped from drones is just icing on the cake.

      I am 100% in support of boycotting Tesla.

      Just if someone bought a Tesla as their personal vehicle 10 years ago because they wanted an environmentally friendly car - before we knew what an asshole Musk was - I don’t think they deserve to have their personal property damaged/destroyed.

          At this point they’d get almost nothing for it - certainly not enough to buy a replacement car.

          I’m just saying it helps to carefully target the people you actually are trying to hurt. It doesn’t help a movement if they start hurting bystanders.

            Musk is the one hurting Tesla owners with his policies. Yes tesla owners are collateral damage, but the US government cares very little about collateral damage.

              Agree: Musk is the one hurting Tesla owners

              Agree: US Government doesn’t care about collateral damage

              I just would encourage folks who want to hurt Musk to focus on action that hurts Musk. Causing collateral damage is not fair or helpful - best to avoid it whenever possible.

                I would encourage non violent, non permanent actions. But as long as Musk receives his wealth and power from Tesla, those cars remain legitimate targets.
