One thing about Trump promoting Tesla: it's a reminder that no one can simply drive a Tesla. Owning a Tesla is endorsing Trump, Musk, their politics, their horrible fans, the entirety of it. As good citizens we are obliged to remind current & potential Tesla owners the association is inescapable.

I understand if you can't afford a new car. But the brand is associated with fascism now, and people will react accordingly.
His Tesla Model S, number 900 something off the assembly line is still on the road along with thousands of other Ecars. We did not support fascism.
Incel Camino?
Deplorean?

They'll be out their deductible for comp, have to work with the police to prove it wasn't insurance fraud, and their insurance carrier may raise their rates as a result.
Also: 1. I said nothing about vandalism being good; 2. You are not the protest decider who gets to tut-tut those out there protesting; 3. You can't tell me it isn't working - no one is buying a Tesla now.
That’s why #TeslaTakedown is working!

Found via an account in Twitter who stated they saw it in Oakland.

Much like you can buy food, gasoline, appliances, electronics, and other goods from dozens of companies that directly or indirectly prop up corporate oligarchy and its fascist children in government.
What are we trying to accomplish here, exactly?
Is a centibillionaire more of a threat than someone with tens of billions of dollars? Sure.
But, associating some random tesla owner on the street with fascism is counterproductive.

I just think you’ll find the hassle/cost for most consumers to trade vehicles on a political whim is not a luxury they can afford.
Imho, shaming fascism comes after you remove it from power not before
When was the last time he didn't have a slave driving him???

But a Tesla purchase today is absolutely a political statement. Might as well wave the Confederate flag. Or maybe Tesla could redesign how the doors open to imitate a Nazi salute.
If you purchased the car from him after the Thai cave divers incident, that's on you.
