Do any kind of common household natural cleaning chemicals, something like vinegar or lemon juice, or alternatively, baking soda dissolved in water, mess up the exterior of these cars?

When used to do the car carnival aka auto show circuit for GM, it was not uncommon to find dirty diapers left in mini vans and trucks.

Do people still do that? Asking for a friend.

Would be awful if Tesla charging stations were vandalized across the country. Just awful.

The show takes place at the convention center, and it will cost money to get in, and I imagine dramatic protest spectacles will result in fairly prompt ejection. If you don't make a scene, but calmly share information about Tesla and its owner with fellow attendees, that might be more effective?

niedermeyer.online•17 hours ago

I'll definitely be yelling on the street in front of the Tesla store tomorrow at 11 am, maybe I'll stop by the show after that. We'll see.

I just happen to have a lot of information about this particular brand, and think my neighbors would really benefit from hearing it.

Tesla cars are cheaply made. The lowest level of any maker's vehicles have fit and finish is equal or superior to Tesla. Yes, those vehicles don't have a 17" Ipad on the dash, they are a complete ripoff. We test drove one . IMO, it is a POS. If it was a 20k car or less, eh, maybe
