A man drove his car into protesters outside a Tesla dealership in Palm Beach County, Florida, but did not injure any of those who had gathered to demonstrate against billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump over the weekend, according to law enforcement.

    …I don’t think it says what the driver was driving, and somehow that’s driving me crazy. I thought to look it up because I figured it’s gotta be a Tesla, but “a car” could mean any brand and another source suggests it’s a fucking Nissan Pathfinder!

    Reminds me that conservative fucks don’t even drive EVs, it’s really fucking funny to me that even this guy is driving a Japanese SUV instead of a Tesler.

      I mean, thank goodness it wasn’t a Tesla. Imagine if that thing had driven into the protesters and then exploded! People would definitely have been injured in that case.

      At our local Tesler protests, I’ve seen very little correlation between driver’s responses and what they were driving. The vast majority were honking in support, waving, and throwing 👍, including from a couple Teslers.

      Most swasticar drivers just stared straight ahead looking embarrassed. Very very few negative reactions, but they were from every kind of vehicle imaginable.

      The funniest (to me) reactions were the drivers with their mouths agape and eyes wide in utter astonishment, like they had absolutely no clue what was going on. How out of touch with current events can a person be?

        Hell yea. There was probably a point in time where many heads turned to admire their Swasticars and they took some kind of pride in that. All gone now.

        This would explain the Tesla sells that are somehow still occurring.
