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.)

    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.

      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.

        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.

        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 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

          Sell their houses to who Ben? FUCKING AQUAMAN!?

            Or in other, more precise words:

            “It is okay to support Nazis as long as you believe you require their products or services”

              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.

              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.

              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.

                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.

                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.

                  So yes, you put words in my mouth.

                    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.
