Okay hear me out. People who intentionally damage Teslas SHOULD go to jail.
Let's start with the Elon, who released a vehicle that is the most unsafe in modern history (17x more dangerous than the Ford Pinto, and is responsible for 5 fire related deaths SO FAR), and is averaging a new recall every 2 months since production.
With such classic hits as:
Faulty gas pedals causing "unintended acceleration"
Trim that can isn't glued on correctly and can fly off
Stainless steel that will rust
Font that is too small on warning signs
A truck that can't go through a car wash
Front single windshield wiper can fail leading to a loss in visibility
Bed panel trim can fall off
A cast plastic body and trailer hitch leading to catastrophic towing accidents
Backup camera won't display images correctly
Inverter failure causing a loss of power while driving
Tpms system failure
....And many more still to come!
Or is this not about crimes of "hurting Americans and hurting Teslas" and more about hurting a single billionaires sad little feelings?
TL;DR:
If you made even a single CyberTruck level fuck up at your job, you'd be fired the same day.
Your stock wouldn't rise, you couldn't buy your way out of jail, and you'd be completely screwed.
They say they want a meritocracy, but these Nazis are white privilege at it's finest thriving in an Idiocracy.
The richest man in the world ain't getting pity from me.
