The FBI has created a task force intended to “crack down on violent Tesla attacks,” it announced Monday, following a spate of incidents appearing to target Elon Musk’s electric car manufacturer.

Funny how they couldn't do that with the Kia and Hyundai things a few years ago ...

I don't remember that in particular but look how easy it was for Republicans to do things. Meanwhile my idiot Democrat party has always said things were blocked or impossible because of Republicans. Amazing how it could have all been done all along.

Waiting for the FBI task force targeting healthcare CEO's that overcharge the public.

All I have to say is you can build RC cars and drones at home cheaply. You never have to be at a location.

I've never played with my fire starters, just cotton,wax, and cedar. But you can build a long burn time one and drop it under the tire. Catch the tire on fire and the vehicle goes with it.

Alternatively you can put thermite in a clay pot ~~on top the hood~~ on the roof and hope the thermite goes down to the battery.

Or you can drive an RC under one and leave it there with a firestarter. The goal is to never be at the scene.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Oh sorry, yes I meant you can drive an RC car to the tire or drone drop thermite.

First women, then gays, now CyberTrucks. Where does it end?

One need only look back through history at the rise of other fascist states to see a familiar playbook.

Sadly, would eventually come to war. But this time, the United States would be on the wrong side.

But I'm tired of listening to these Cyber Truck owners telling me how I should treat them. They should just stay at their charging stations and stop imposing their glued-on-side-paneled beliefs on me and my children.

At least Volkswagens were decent cars

At least the allies won

But this time

Possible people responsible for Tesla vandalisms.

  • Protesters that got carried away.
  • Bugaloo Bois, or other right-wing militia groups, trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent and/or just stir shit up, as is part of their M.O.
  • Trump administration lackies trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent to justify police crackdowns.
  • Tesla employees committing insurance fraud whilst trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent.

Also keep in mind it doesn’t have to be just one. With multiple events of vandalism, all of these (and more) could be true at the same time.

I can help out with that, the people you are looking for are in the White House. Case solved now get to work.
