Of the 100s of #TeslaTakedown protests with 10s of thousands of participants, we've seen effectively no vandalism at any of our events. The real vandal is Elon Musk who has actively lobbied to prevent other EV automakers from gaining market share in the US, all to better Tesla sales. Keep it going!

We're dealing w/ the kind of morons who think concentration camps are "cool", I feel little need to treat them as anything other than dangerous sociopaths.

That's okay, we can work on that.
Yeah, sure, I guess if potential EV buyers are as dumb as this paper thinks its readers are, apparently.
let's get those vandalism numbers up people

Tesla going under will not affect most EV drivers today.
There are plenty of other opportunities to charge on the road, with more coming online every day, that aren't Tesla Superchargers.
It's almost like, we probably shouldn't have put all our EV eggs in the basket of an illegal immigrant?
Right?
- Protest which is protected free speech.
- Vandalism, which is a crime.
The goal here is to associate both of these until protest = crime.
President Musk took a sizable hit to his net worth as the market shudders at Trump’s tariffs, causing shares of Musk’s car company Tesla to flounder.

It's propaganda.
That way, Tesla owners wouldn't waste their time and they can go to another charger that's hopefully also not out of service.

Tesla Superchargers set on fire in Massachusetts
#TeslaTakedown
Tesla stock is down another 5% today.
-30% since Jan 01.
Keep up the awesome work Alex!!!
Damage to charging infrastructure, I understand.
While I'd agree that there's no connective tissue between the vandalisms and the #TeslaTakedown campaign, but there has been vandalism.
Pretty sure it's because Elon, not protests, however.
I think what hurts the EV transition more are the Tesla stations that use a proprietary connector. What do I know though… 🤷♀️
So why stop?
Good thing this is overwhelmingly rare.
Vandalism will not attract people to support the #TeslaTakedown.
Picketing is fun and effective and does not splinmter our support.
Vandalism drives people away who do not want to be arrested. Seen it.
Who does vandalism? Almost exclusively young men jacked up on testosterone. Only you guys think it's smart!

It doesn't. It just vents rage. Some of these incidents may have been done to discredit us. We've see that before.
"respectability politics" is not a real type of a politics.
Floyd protests were harmed by vandalism (RW).
Vandalism takes the focus off of fascist Musk, and discredits the movement. The vast majority of people oppose vandalism.
People don't want to be part of that or get arrested because some hormonal hothead lost their self-control.
But many keyboard warriors here advocate for it here.
It seems to be almost exclusively young males jacked up on testosterone. I was there once, but didn't inflict it on others efforts.
No need to vandalize them.
They do record you so it's better to just not touch them in any way.
Point and laugh and do good trouble where and when you are able.
How do people see vandalism and say "oh, I need to be part of THAT!" In my 60s, I never seen that beyond of angry / hormonal young men.
Flip it: When has vandalism grown movements?

Related to your choice of article, this book about campaigns to end slavery in Britain is a good read. That's where the drawing of the crowded slave ship came from.

The problem is those in charge ALWAYS find a way to discredit progressive protests, even extremely passive ones.
Mainly it's young men jacked up on testosterone.

Here's one paper. There are more.

Did vandalism stop the Nazis? How does that work, exactly?
Vandalism ➡️ something happens ➡️ Fascism ends.
Please elaborate!
We don't need nor can we support an EV transition with the current EVs available.
EVs are a tech bro grift posing as a climate change solution.
We need reliable trains and expanded public transit.
