Replying to Cybertrucks falling apart - #103 by Shalmanese
Some who tried to set fire to the Loveland, Colorado Tesla store have been caught.
And an earlier incident at the same location.
I expect some of it is just not making it past local coverage, if it’s covered at all.
Since when has vandalism of private property been a Federal offense?
A Vegas dealership has multiple burning vehicles right now.
Since Trump declared that people targeting Teslas are engaged in “domestic terrorism”.
As I remarked in the other Tesla thread, in the 1943 movie Return of the Vampire Bela Lugosi plays what is essentially Dracula, back from the dead when the stake is pulled out of his heart. But since it was a Columbia Picture, and Universal had the rights to the character, they e-named him
ARMAND TESLA
I think we ought to make all that we can out of this fortuitous coincidence that Musk’s Folly shares a name with a screen vampire. Played by Bela Lugosi, in fact.
The “Nazi” part can move it into hate crime.
Say what? Calling people a Nazi is a hate crime? That’s not how it works.
So I went to Gettysburg last week for a work conference and kept my eye open for Teslas. I did spot several on the road and a couple in parking lots.
Somehow my brain has decided that the Tesla identification emblem/badge looks a bit like an IUD.
TIL what an IUD looks like.
Well, in many cases, it will prevent pregnancy…
“Tesler” is a protected class. Please try to keep up
I must have had a quite unusual high school sex ed class. We were taught all the different (3?) models available at the time. For all I can remember 47 years on, we had to draw them for the test!
Ditto. Although I don’t think we had to draw them.
We did get to handle real examples of them. IIRC, the boys looked curious (or not) and the girls all looked very dubious while turning that thing over in their hands.
I know it’s a Tesla thread, but may I briefly remind one and all of the infamous Dodge Ram logo (mildly NSFW - Anatomy)?
If you park your Ram truck and your Tesla in the same garage, can we safely assume your household fertility rate will marginally diminish?
You’ll be fine. Until you put the thing in the thing. Then fertility is history.
New Tesla logo:
Niiice!!!1!
I find it fascinating how so little actual information can be so instantly recognizable.
Yesterday when we were out MrsFtG noticed that the car in front us a light was a Tesler with the logo removed. If she can notice something like that, I don’t think removing the logo is going to have much impact.
I am another person wondering if some of these ‘setting cars on fire at dealerships’ are insurance scams to get rid of unsaleable stock.
It declares that the owner is at least currently … embarrassed… chagrined? to be driving the car.
May be posturing but it is the same message as an anti Musk Trump bumper sticker just a bit less loudly done.
