    Some advice for demonstrations (including propaganda of the deed):

    • Wear a ski mask. Wear rubber gloves.
    • Wear anonymous clothing.
    • Don’t trust phones. Don’t use them to plan, and leave them turned on at home.
    • Use a cell structure to organize, and share info on a need-to-know basis only.
    • Assume there are not only cameras but microphones.
    • Don’t drive anywhere near the location of the demo. Ride-haining services are even worse. Don’t even cycle in unless you can go off-road.
    • Distinguish individuals’ property from corporate property.
    • The goal is to live to fight another day. A fair fight is one in which you don’t get hurt.

    Oh no! they should be dismantled instead of burned. Some of those electric motors could be put into better use.

    Tesla will simply give the people new vehicles. If one wants to really hurt Tesla, don’t buy them.

    Stick to the showrooms and dealers. The victims in Las Vegas was just owners who brought their cars in to be fixed.

    Been thinking about this a lot. They can say it’s terrorism. History is written by the winners.

    But…

    Rebellion is constitutional, but not legal. If you rebel, you die a terrorist or live a hero. Not much middle ground.

    “Trump administration looking to categorize Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism” Because Republicans are cowards without principles who can never even think of opposing him.

    Problem with setting Teslas on fire is we can’t know if it’s an act of protest or if they just did that on their own.

      The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.

      In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

        Probably a lot of the time it is. Nows a great time to do it if you’re gonna.

        Saw a post earlier where a guy was 42,000$ underwater on his and wanted to offload it at that big of a loss before his insurance dropped it entirely.

      I was JUST about to say; how do we know they didn’t just do that? or that this wasn’t a buggy firmware update that just did that? or a malicious firmware update that did this?
