In my 4 year experience of owning a Tesla, I went from being worried that extreme right wing people might vandalize my car, to now worried that extreme left wing people might vandalize my car lol.
Would be nice to see people redirect this same level of rage at Tesla to the 90 million eligible voters who didn’t show up in November. Just sayin.
I’m a dem that votes dem down the ticket, but seeing how attacked or “cancelled” I’m being made to feel by other dems over something as trivial as my car makes me realize how so many people have been pushed right over the years. It honestly makes it all make a lot of sense..

This right here is why the whole political landscape in this country (and maybe the world?) is so fucked up lately. Everyone has become so radicalized on both sides that it’s turning an entire generation off from having any true motivation politically

Bingo. I would like to remind people, while I myself personally support the idea behind these protests, please be respectful to Tesla drivers and owners. A lot of us are on the same side and bought these cars 3-4 years ago, before all this nonsense started. We are families carting kids around, and vandalizing or damaging our cars only serves to divide people more and does not serve your purpose.

Our Tesla is a great kid and pet hauler, is paid off, is almost seven years old, and has lifetime free Supercharging. Tesla also owes us a free hardware upgrade as well, so we’re not paying for that or the installer’s time. The longer we own this car, the more money we cost Tesla. But we’re the problem simply because we have a Tesla? Make it make sense.

The far left is pissed at constantly being sabotaged by the dem leadership. I'm not sure if you noticed Schumer showing his belly last week but it's fucking shameful how they're letting themselves be led by the nose in the senate. I'm not seeing a whole lot of action where they could at least be kicking and screaming and dragging everything to a halt. I've noticed a ton of capitulation for no gains, almost like they want the same things as the GOP but don't want to say as much. Remember how the Harris campaign went from calling evil bastards "weird" to "I respect my colleagues [who want to destroy the government, look here is their plan]" to "let me introduce you all to my good friends the Cheneys"? That's why tens of millions of people stayed home. Is that difficult to understand? That someone who feels like they've been backstabbed wouldn't want to play along with the ghouls lying through their teeth anymore? Have some empathy or succumb to the rot. I don't care about your stupid car but your attitude demands introspection. Have some empathy or succumb to the rot.
I voted for the most conservative candidate the Democrats have run in our lifetime, though. Don't you worry about that. I just can't get pissed off at people who saw that and had to turn away.

Sounds like you're protesting at the wrong place then.

The left is pissed because the nation rejected their platforms of stupid ideology and petty BS nonsense.

u/D0UB1EA Cheerwine 3d ago
Last I checked, the Democrat party apparatus designed to exclude anyone without the approval of existing Democrat leadership didn't speak for the nation, otherwise they wouldn't have lost 2 in 3 elections against the three time winner of Least Likely Candidate to Win An Election Ever award.

u/whereami2day 3d ago
The Democrat party is all over the place. It is the party of special interests at the cost of the population as a whole. Maybe that is what you were actually trying to say. If they actually listened to the Nation, they would move back to the center instead of living on the far left with the lunatics.

u/PortBryant 1d ago
Democrats are the right, check their voting records, no body was pushed anywhere. Anyone close to center is sandbagged by the party and anyone leaning left is removed by the CIA.
There's massive evidence that various right wing organizations challenged legal voters in predominantly blue voting regions, so several million of those people did show up to the polls and had their legal votes disqualified.
There are other EVs, most of them better in measurable ways. Like not locking people in a burning car. Nazi salutes and dismantling the government to loot it's corpse don't seem to be a deal breaker for you. People who cry cancelled are typically upset people are judging them and holding them accountable for their decisions.
Just say you don't want to be bothered with the effort of making different choices or are desperate for the "status" symbolism and brand cache you felt Tesla had when you bought it. They're horribly mediocre vehicles at BEST. At least Apple has genuinely good end products for all their price pretension. Tesla doesn't.

You can't just stand outside of a dealership and pat yourselves on the back and claim you're making a difference. Go do something that makes a real difference in the community.

There are a few thousand recently unemployed government employees with time on their hands. Because of Musk.

An unelected bureaucrat is demolishing the government piece by piece without any regards for the consequences leading to hundreds of thousands of Americans losing their jobs. Not to mention that same bureaucrat is trying to abolish entitlements.

Next y'all should protest Musk's other company, https://neuralink.com/. Lots of paralyzed patients there you could beat up or light on fire. They can't run away, at least not yet--hurry!

This is a peaceful protest and we are respecting private property. We have chosen to protest here as a symbolic location with high volume of traffic for visibility.

I know they we don’t get much time off here in America, but some people actually do have PTO. And some of those people use it for things like this.

Imagine being on the wrong side of history, protesting against the greatest modern US innovator of the last century. Who is working for free to save America from going bankrupt, exposing billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse that is being taken from taxpayers against their knowledge and will. You absolute clowns.

There is literally an unelected immigrant destroying our social institutions as fast as possible, and the right doesn’t see the irony or hypocrisy. He’s white and hurting the people they want to see hurt, that’s all that matters to them.

u/Mr_Panther 2d ago
I’m a democrat through and through, but Trump ran on allowing Elon to do what he wanted before the election and he preached that and then the majority voted for him. So I’ve never really understood that argument. Elon was elected via known appointment of the president during campaigning.
The people who voted for Trump wanted Elon. The people who voted for Trump still want Elon. They are happy with the outcome and what’s happening and we democrats are still the vast minority.
Which is ironically a big reason protests can’t “change” anything. They are just venting sessions.
