Multiple Teslas set on fire in Germany

What do you call it when half the Teslas in a showroom are on fire?
A good start.
- A waste of resources.
  They all could've been sold and the money used to help poor people.
  Now there's nothing. Yay.
  
  If that's what the money was being used for Teslas wouldn't be getting torched.
  
  They all could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.
  Nice fantasy. But no, that was never going to happen in real life.
  Now there’s nothing.
  Now there's a clear message in international headlines, and one heard by those trying to profit using Tesla.
  
  I don't think that's how most car showrooms work, let alone Tesla showrooms.
  
  That’s a great idea… if that was ever done in the history of the world… ever
  
  Kids in Africa could eat those cars!

Imagine you buy a car and it gets burned down because the owner of the car company turns out to be a Nazi.
I would like Tesla to go bankrupt too but cheering on regular peoples property being destroyed is wrong.
- Sure, I have some sympathy for those who bought them years ago.
  But let's not mince words. If you buy a Tesla today, you are literally a Nazi collaborator.
  Those who bought a Tesla much earlier were more like one of those few people who bought one of Hitler's paintings during his starving artist phase.
  
  I think Tesla owners should put anti elon stickers on theirbcars
- Hopefully they had bubble insurance and now they're freed of their magamobile and can buy something better.
  
  Yeah because insurance companies are run by great people who are known for helping others.
  
  the magamobile… i know it has its issues, but the sad thing is, if you want an electric car as a person who does not care about car-people-things, the magamobile is one of the best options in terms of efficiency. ALSO in terms of used vehicles, you can get teslas so bloody cheap rn and for people who just want to get from A to B with Comfort and ease, you dont have so many other options.
- Imagine parking next to a Tesla and your car becomes collateral damage.
- Totally agree and the fucker already got the money. They are just fucking other people's lives. However, we can agree that if you think you're buying a car that someone is going to burn down, then that's a good deterrent to buy them. So I can also see the positive side of things. And all these cars are probably insured against vandalism anyway
  
  Sometimes sacrifices have to be made to get the message across.
  
  also buying a car knowing that elon is a nazi makes the buyers complicit as well.
- it could've caught fire on its own, it's a tesla.
  you should've known that when you bought the car too, before you knew about the nazism.
  
  Yeah ICE cars catch fire 61x more often than EVs.
  Facts are important. We want people to switch to EVs. Spreading falsehoods because it helps your own side short term is wrong.
- Meh, they have insurance
  
  some of them maybe? surely not all?
- Read this thread man. People have become fucking deranged, cheering on destroying the property of people who likely had no reason to believe they'd be making car payments to a Nazi.
  Frankly if you're not out canvassing for politicians you support or helping organize a union or something but you can find the time to cheer on the destruction of what is likely a worker's property, you need to get a grip.
  
  If you own a Telsa, sell it. It sucks but Muskrat is actually dismantling decades of institutional organization. He's an threat to our country and when it collapses he'll just fly to the next country while we burn.
  Flood the market with used Swasticars that nobody wants to be associated with and nobody will buy the new ones. Money is the only thing they understand.
  He's got the president of the u.s. on the front lawn hucking his cars, it's hilarious and sad.
- So many people on social media cheering for vandalizing other people’s private property just because they disagree with the politics of the maker of their cars. Wild.
  
  Because this is one of the only ways to attack a billionaire.
  
  “Just because they disagree with the politics” look we can say what we want about the burning Teslas part this isn’t a “little disagreement”. Musk’s a full-blown turbo-Nazi and in and in Germany, where this happened, he’s pouring money into the AFD which is essentially just the return of a German Nazi party. Don’t water it down.

At what point do the board members and shareholders fire Herr Musk?
- Well, one of the board members is his brother and the rest are loyalists so probably not until a shareholder revolt.
  
  Hence the car sales show at the White House, generating some PR to pump up the stock. It worked, for now.
  
  That's fine. Let him run it into the ground. No skin off my nuts
  
  Ya, I saw they are all dumping Tesla stock too. LOL.
- He culled everyone that wasn't his lacky early on including the actual founders
- Au contraire it's surely time for his bonus
- When all their golden parachutes are endangered

Today i am not ashamed to be german for once :)

Germans know the evil and danger of nazis and fascism better then anyone else. Fuck Trump and fuck Elon
- Well probably not better than the Jews but we see a repeat of history down there in Israel
- Do they? They are gleefully supporting the genocide in Palestine.
- They still have a dangerous number of nazis around - Elon recently visited there to rile many of them up, and their popularity boosted in the last election.

Oh dear ! Must be those batteries spontaneously combusting. I remember when that used to happen to Samsung phones a while back.

That’s the spirit. …Cause fuck Nazis. Germany gets it. They’re like, “Trust us, ve know how dis turns üt.”
- unfortunately not all of us. few weeks ago 20% voted for our nazi-party and another 30% voted a party who's leader is willing to cooperate with the nazi-party.

Funny house suddenly Teslas have become more valuable as an insurance payout then they are as a car.
- Genius move

There should be a contest which region / country / city lights up the most.

Were they really set on fire, or did their batteries just explode? This could very well be another case of the new and improved Pinto spontaneously going off.

are they not afraid of being labeled terrorists and blackbagged to Guantanamo?
- No, because they live in a country with rights.
  
  lucky 🥺
  
  They have a right to burn another person's property in Germany? Interesting.

It’s just a Roman bonfire my doods!

Well that’s terrible. You naughty, naughty Germans.

FTFY: ~~political motives~~ common sense could not be ruled out.

Excellent.
- What are you talking about? Those could've been sold and the money used to help poor people.
  Now it's just a waste.
  
  Bait used to be believable.
  
  Yeah I’m sure these people really would have willingly sold their Teslas and then gone on to donate that money to poor people.
  
  You really think the owners are going to sell their tesla to give to the poor? Elon sure isn't and only celebrities and those in similar situations where money doesn't matter would do it. That you make this as a serious argument is wild.

"Oh no!
Anyway"

tja.

That's why people use this sticker
- Not gonna lie, that was a bit of a challenge to read.
  
  I bought my before Tesla Elon mind lost his.
- Let's be honest: We knew that Elon was an asshole and totally batshit insane after the thailand caving incident. That was in 2018. Everybody who bought a Tesla after that didn't pay attention
  https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/15/elon-musk-british-diver-thai-cave-rescue-pedo-twitter
  
  Most people don't go reading about Elon's doings before supporting any of his work.
  
  Behold! Someone with 20/20 hindsight!
- People who bought Teslas years ago are like people who bought Hitler's paintings during his "starving artist" phase.
  
  He was never really a balanced people but I didn't understand why people were already disgusted by his behaviours before his latest shows.
  Then I discovered he was the classic old style entrepreneur against unions.
  Now I came to know he only had male sons (in vitro selected sex), 14 males.
  The problem is not him, it's that system which is completely insane (tbn I'm ok with abortion). The altered genomes of twin baby girls that happened in China is almost ok from an ethical pov if compared, it had a medical target at least.

Hell yeah

Cool

- Like I don’t like vandalism (wow heroic statement) but urgh if it happens to regular people who also just work and live paycheque to paycheque, it sucks
  
  If you live paycheck to paycheck you don't own a Teala in Germany.

Wonder what a burned Tesla smells like
- Bloody sinuses
- Smells like victory.

Poor quality lithium batteries.

Those people are hero's. Happy to see people are fighting back.

Oopsie, so so sorry! /s

Völker, hört die Signale!
Auf, zum letzten Geficht!
Die Internationale

Justice

Oh no! Anyway...

Noice!

Germans can be depended upon to do the right thing.

We should be beating them up for charity

Why do I see this right after watching Retribution

Ah the French. Wait, what?

I'd rather not destroy those, I'd use the cars to show other people how bad Tesla manufactured cars are. It was high expectations and 17 recalls for a specific single model (so far).
- but would it be on fire if it was a good car 🤔

I hope this was not personal property

- So did you already sold all your possessions to help the poor? That question is just as absurd as your comment.
  There is no "solution" here, vehicles are not meant to be "solutions" by using their diminishing value to get money to help the poor. If they were, you would be saying this to EVERYONE that owns one, not even public transportation should be safe from your rhetoric.
  This is the exact same mindset that makes fElon think that he can just give money to the UN and magically world hunger would be gone. No, simply no.
  
  No... but if we're going to burn these vehicles why not reclaim and sell them instead?
  All of you "smart" people are making the same argument that the owners of these vehicles would have to choose to sell them. Did they choose to have them set on fire? No. So we can sell the vehicles instead of setting them on fire and use the money to help those in need.
  Wow. It's so sad this needs to be spelled out for you people, but it's to be expected at this point.
- Why did I just think of this bullshit after reading your comment?
  
  Because your herd mentality causes you to assume the crowd is correct no matter what.
- If the car owners sold the car, they'd have cash but no car. And apparently they need a car, else why have it in the first place. So no, the money was never going to feed the poor.
  Now the owners will get compensated by their insurance and can make a smarter choice for the replacement vehicle. Tesla owners get a message, and they only one hurt is the insurer.
  
  My god, every single one of you are repeating the same thing.
  It's insane how low average intelligence has gotten, but here we are.
  This is why the disparity in wealth is what it is.
- What's your alternative? It has to be something that actually works
  
  I do not condone violence but if you must act violently, at least target the dealership, not random people’s private property.
  
  Instead of burning the cars without the owners' permission, take them and sell them.
  Use the money to help those in need.
  Too many "smart people" in this comment chain assume that I mean asking the owners nicely to sell them. Did we ask the owners nicely to set the cars on fire?
  Really puts into perspective how smart ya'll are.
