They’re very portable, so you can carry them around with you in case you come up with an idea of something to write on your Tesla while you’re out and about. They stick to the surface quite well and don’t wash off in the rain.
(Please try not to succumb to the temptation to write “F**k off Nazi Scum” or similar on somebody else’s though like other people are suggesting. That might encourage people not to buy Teslas, which is a shame, because they’re great American cars.)
While I think this is a fair opinion for all recent swastikars, I know several people who bought a Tesla a decade ago when it still seemed like a positive. They all abhor Musk but are not in a financial position to trade in their paid-off cars for anything else.
Telling random people to “just buy another car” is such an elitist, out of touch take. Also, who’s supposed to buy those used Teslas? If nobody wants to buy them, nobody can sell them.
I think I read somewhere that brake fluid is a fairly reliable means of stripping paint. A design or message of some type might emerge from a judicious application of such liquid.

Why are you saying that it is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise?
If they’ve already bought the car Elon already has their money. Buying another car because we now know what a piece of shit Elon is, doesn’t change that.
Parts and repairs cost money. Then there are subscription fees. Not to mention all of the free data you give the fucker simply driving one that get transmitted to the company.

Who do you think provides those parts and repairs? Teslas generally don’t get repaired at 3rd party shops… You’re advocating for creating business and generating revenue for Tesla
A car that was bought and paid for years ago is not supporting someone who had only really gone off the rails in recent years. Drive it or not, Tesla has already been paid. I guess you could argue parts or charging might continue to support Tesla, but that’s marginal. Most people charge at home, and parts often come from wrecked cars as well.
Are you going to donate a reliably daily to those who can’t afford a reliable daily to get by after they get rid of this Tesla?
In a car centric society, a reliable car is needed to get to work so you can have income to pay your bills and put food on the table.
No one needs a car, there are other options. The majority of people get to work without a personal vehicle.
If you’re willing to lose your job and income to feed yourself over a car, especially one bought before Musk stopped hiding his shittiness, go ahead.
It’s easy to ask others to sacrifice for your cause, it’s another to ask others when you don’t know anything about their life.
It is easy, and more cost effective, to not own a car. I don’t own a car. My partner doesn’t own a car. Almost everyone I know doesn’t own a car. Every single one of us get to where we are going without a problem.
Musk was always shitty. Supporting him was always a shitty thing to do.
Don’t put words in my mouth
I didn’t. You said what you said, and what you said is “It is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise”.
Your excuses are almost 100 years old at this point, and falling on deaf ears.
I live in suburbs and I have never been able to get by without a personal vehicle. You are lucky to be able to get by without a car.
I never said to support Nazis. Ever.
Someone who doesn’t follow the news as much may not have been aware of Musks philosophy until a few years ago. They might have bought it previously.
I’m saying you should not have to sacrifice your life in the short term. Rather, you can take more time to find alternatives that wouldn’t lead to loss of main income.
I live in suburbs and I have never been able to get by without a personal vehicle. You are lucky to be able to get by without a car.
Cannot afford a new car but can afford to live outside of the place where all of the infrastructure and resources are. I would say I did Nazi that coming but I figured anyone who owns or knows a lot of people who own a Tesla to be a suburbanite.
I never said to support Nazis. Ever.
When one continues to fund a company controlled by a Nazi one is supporting said Nazi. You said, and I quote, “It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work”.
Which means “It is okay to support Nazis as long as you believe that you require their products and services”.
Someone who doesn’t follow the news as much may not have been aware of Musks philosophy until a few years ago. They might have bought it previously.
Don’t care. They know now.
I’m saying you should not have to sacrifice your life in the short term. Rather, you can take more time to find alternatives that wouldn’t lead to loss of main income.
I am saying I don’t care. It is lovely to know how many Canadians would have done shit all between 1930 and 1942 under the guise of “too difficult” though.
So yes, you put words in my mouth.
Whatever you say. Anyone with a brain can see otherwise so have fun in your delusional, suburban bubble.
Go ahead, then, explain to me the issue with my comment. Where is your dividing line where supporting Elon was ok? Or do you just not think he’s a sex pest? What’s triggering you?
(a) There were far fewer detractors of Musk 10 years ago. I thought he was pretty cool for trying to make spaceships and electric cars. Yes of course there were plenty of signs, and I should have noticed them. Besides that, one could also be forgiven for not thinking he was literally a fascist back then.
(b) What major company isn’t headed by someone on the asshole spectrum somewhere? There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but we still need cars since we ripped up all our train tracks.
No, Musk was a leftist 10 years ago. I saw posts on Twitter of him defending LGBT. He completely went crazy maybe 5-6 years back and went full MAGA. I suspect it was his girlfriend of 4 years dumping him.
Mush was never a fucking “leftist.” He was born extremely wealthy to a family that owned an emerald mine. He’s done nothing but exploit people his entire life.
If youre busy paying attention to who he is trolling rather than what he actually does, you will never ever ever ever be able to defend against con artists like Elon and trump.
But that’s not what I’m responding to nor is it the content of my post. The content of my post is clearly saying people who say “I couldn’t have possibly known better because it was ten years ago and nObOdY knew Elon was evil” are deluding themselves and are on the wrong side of history because he was clearly evil 10, 15, 20 years ago.
I know people who have sold their Tesla(proud of you) but not everyone can afford a new car. Especially if the resale value plummets. People buying NEW Tesla though…
It’s bait. The mental gymnastics needed to call someone who owns a decade old Tesla a Nazi-supporter certainly apply to some number of good/services Arkouda pays for.

What happened to “See a Nazi punch a Nazi”? Why are we playing coy?
See a Tesla, vandalize a Tesla.
Anyone driving one is at best Nazi adjacent and need to learn a lesson on why they shouldn’t be.
Edit:
It is actually disturbing how many people here are okay with supporting a Nazi. Every one of you needs to get your head right.
Fucking disgraceful.

I hadn’t considered that one before
Someone who bought a Tesla before, who is trying to sell it now, may have to sell it to someone who supports Musk. At a loss at that
Oh he’s going further. He’s saying no one even needs a car.
Pure, privileged delusion.
I have only verified that the paint markers work on Cybertrucks, not older models of Tesla.
I think I read somewhere that brake fluid is a fairly reliable means of stripping paint. A design or message of some type might emerge from a judicious application of such liquid.
Cybertrucks are very plain. They need decoration.
Why are you saying that it is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise?
If they’ve already bought the car Elon already has their money. Buying another car because we now know what a piece of shit Elon is, doesn’t change that.
If they bought a cyber truck they are pretty much guaranteed to be a dickhead.
Parts and repairs cost money. Then there are subscription fees. Not to mention all of the free data you give the fucker simply driving one that get transmitted to the company.
So then why are you advocating for more of them?
It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work
Or in other, more precise words:
“It is okay to support Nazis as long as you believe you require their products or services”
What a terrible thing to say.
Don’t be a prick. People have to take care of themselves.
That said if your tesla is vandalized- but not damaged - then oh fucking well, get over it.
If it’s bought and paid for, how does it support Nazis?
How does trashing a working vehicle fight Nazis?
Parts and repairs cost money. Then there are subscription fees. Not to mention all of the free data you give the fucker simply driving one that get transmitted to the company.
Then why are you advocating for more of them?
If you think I am you are ignorant, willfully or otherwise. That is the only explanation for your insanity.
I’m going to ignore you now because honestly you need some fucking help and I don’t feel good continuing to support your chronically online psychosis.
Who do you think provides those parts and repairs? Teslas generally don’t get repaired at 3rd party shops… You’re advocating for creating business and generating revenue for Tesla
I am advocating against that. Was this comment meant for me?
How are you even accessing Lemmy from your completely sustainable hut in the wilderness?
Or are you saying it’s okay to support the destruction of the planet as long as you require infrastructure?
It is laughable that you thought this was an argument.
Go read a book.
So you agree, your line of reasoning is a joke.
No I am saying that you equating infrastructure to Nazi support is laughable, and that you should go read a book.
I am now saying you should learn to read before you try to write.
Are you going to donate a reliably daily to those who can’t afford a reliable daily to get by after they get rid of this Tesla?

Are you telling me you’d rather support nazis than help a family in need? 😮
Fuck off dude
Don’t be weird
They made a stupid mistake ten years ago when they bought a car from a conman sex pest pedo-guy.
Edit: I assume every downvote is some poor fool who fell for Elon, and I’m sorry for you :'(
Yes because Lemmy is so full of people praising Elon. Couldn’t be because you’re acting like an ass.
Go ahead, then, explain to me the issue with my comment. Where is your dividing line where supporting Elon was ok? Or do you just not think he’s a sex pest? What’s triggering you?

Lol you think grimes turned him conservative?
you literally have no idea what’s going on. Go read.
Mush was never a fucking “leftist.” He was born extremely wealthy to a family that owned an emerald mine. He’s done nothing but exploit people his entire life.
His Twitter posts say otherwise. When he trolled back in the day, he trolled Republicans.
Here was his turning point. In 2020, standing in an LGBT friendly company he mocked those same people he once defended.
I agree it all could have been an act before this point … but the fact remains even if it was … he actually cared enough to act back then.
If youre busy paying attention to who he is trolling rather than what he actually does, you will never ever ever ever be able to defend against con artists like Elon and trump.
If (b) is your argument then you should have no problem today with Tesla. If you have a problem today, you cannot use (b)
(A)…I’m pretty sure you’re agreeing with me but with a disagreement tone? “There were plenty of signs” “should have noticed them”…yep, we agree.
Which might be the case, but not entirely grounds for punching someone.
Who is punching someone?
@easily3667 @BeardedGingerWonder
See a Nazi punch a Nazi is what they were reffering to.
While woning a Tesla is problematic it isnt grounds for outright violance.
But that’s not what I’m responding to nor is it the content of my post. The content of my post is clearly saying people who say “I couldn’t have possibly known better because it was ten years ago and nObOdY knew Elon was evil” are deluding themselves and are on the wrong side of history because he was clearly evil 10, 15, 20 years ago.

I’m not sure that would work on the cybertrucks “”“bullet proof”“” windows, they are laminated, and this trick typically only works on tempered glass.
Man I don’t understand what I read but everything in that makes no sense.
How do you crush a commercial spark plug to get something you can throw
Not saying you do, but i imagine a hammer would probably be sufficient. You’ll probably end up with a few good rocks.
Here is a video of someone demonstrating it on a car headed for the scrap yard.
Put it in a bag or wrap it in a towel first so a random chip doesn’t go flying off into your window or eye.
Good point! I’m going to go tweet about it!

…wait
We toot ‘round these parts, buddy.
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. You’re just masturbating in public here.
Pathetic.
Hypocrite.
Cry louder.
Nazi supporter.
Explain your logic here
It’s bait. The mental gymnastics needed to call someone who owns a decade old Tesla a Nazi-supporter certainly apply to some number of good/services Arkouda pays for.
Are these decades-old teslas in the room with us right now?
