The war on Elon Musk and Tesla is driven by far more than politics. One thing is for sure: Tesla owners never saw this one coming. After all, Tesla fans are generally predisposed to embrace climate change and much of the Green New Deal -- positions with large support among people on the Left side of the political spectrum. For many, owning a Tesla is a statement of virtue signaling that you are doing your part to save the world and save the environment. Owners of Teslas are more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. So why would Tesla dealerships and Tesla car owners be targeted for destruction? And who are these radical property destroyers?
If the American people have learned anything in the last ten or fifteen years -- particularly highlighted by the $2 billion destruction of national urban properties that came about after the police detention death of George Floyd in May of 2020 -- it is that destructive riots are not organically spontaneous.
The trigger events for riots are understood and sometimes planned well in advance. Once the trigger event happens, the riot plan gets executed and implemented. Militant activist rioters -- many being members of BLM and Antifa -- can be mobilized and bussed to target areas, paid as much as $300 a day from various NGOs, to engage in protest, obstructionism, and property destruction. Other evidence that the 2020 riots were planned and managed could be clearly observed in the strategic delivery of pallets of bricks in many of the targeted cities for the purpose of facilitating the breaking of windows and looting.
With the deterioration of law and order in urban America, which has also been planned, and with very few rioters arrested and sentenced to jail time in 2020

The whole goal of the DEMS was to bring in so many ILLEGALS and get them on the voting roles in the swing states.
That way they would have a Blue Majority forever to pick the POTUS, US house, US Senate. Just like they do in California.
Which is why ICE needs to push hardest in MI, WI, PA, NV, AZ, NC, MN, etc to keep them from turning Blue. If they do we are SCREWED.
The other major goal was to bring in illegals in the Blue states like NY, NJ, CA, IL so that they would not continue to LOSE Congress Reps like they have since the last Census.
The unequal covet what they can never have. They strike out in jealous anger to cure their inequality
There are no Tesla dealerships. Tesla sells direct.
What you believe to be dealerships are actually Tesla stores.
Of course it was temporary. But I thought he would last one or two years with such a Herculean task tin front of him, not merely four or six months.
Anyone with money opposing Deep State.
Win yesterday was the perfect example. Supposedly 100,000 people voted for the radical Supreme Court candidate but left the Voter ID box unchecked. How many of that 100,000 are illegals?
“”And Tesla owners, being mostly democrat are going to think twice next time they vote.””
You have to hope they’re able to make that connection! Can they?
Not all, some will actually trade their Tesla in for something else. But I have to believe that most Tesla owners are in upper income brackets, educated (or somewhat) and don’t like their personal property vandalized, especially by fellow dems. When your property is vandalized you want justice.
I don’t own a Tesla but my insurance rates keep going up. I also wonder about how much damage has occurred overall. Maybe a dozen of Tesla car keying events have made the news. You probably have that many Teslas that get wrecked everyday..
Showroom or dealership, whatever. I think they have to be insured for fire. Can’t occupy a building in most states without it.
Our car ins. premiums have remained basically the same for the past couple of years, just me and my wife, and I’m retired. We both have good records, no tickets or violations. Yeah, I see plenty of Teslas on the road, seems they are very popular. Just not practical for us yet, maybe someday.
Same here, the insurance rate increases may have been tied to the car. I recently traded in my 16 year old sporty model for a new one. The insurance rate for the new car is only a few hundred dollars more. My insurance contract is good for a year, so I won’t see any changes until next fall.
Oh yes.
Standard run-of-the-mill “liberals” (the lowest entry level into Leftism, occupied by people who are too lazy to think about issues, too busy to do it, or too dumb to examine them) are sometimes able to convert on their own as they grow up, pay taxes, buy groceries and houses, and raise a family, or may be approached and induced to think. IOW, they can have the seed planted to change. (These are the ones who get dragged away in the middle of the night on the orders of the “Leaders of the Left” and usually ask their captors in a puzzled, plaintive tone (as described in Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago) as they are arrested “Who? Me?)
However the next step up are the ones I call the “True Believers”. In the Soviet Union, these would be simple party members. They believe all the pap fed to them by the last group of Leftists described below. These are the bug-eyed, spittle-lipped activists. They are to be avoided. They cannot be communicated or reasoned with. (These are the ones who get dragged away in the middle of the night on the orders of the “Leaders of the Left” and usually are screaming “Why are you doing this to me? I’m on your side!”)
The last group are the Leaders of the Left. In the Soviet Union, they would be the Inner Party. They mostly don’t believe the Marxist BS. They are interested in power and money. They use both the entry-level (Liberals) and the True Believers as cannon fodder, or as we know them, as Useful Idiots. These are the real enemies of our Republic.
Trump should set up an anti-terrorism fund to reimburse Tesla losses 10-fold. This would cause the attacks to boomerang and actually benefit the attack victims.
This would stop the attacks, and it would be Justice.
We cannot let the terrorists succeed.
“It has been reported that the mobs at Tesla dealers are largely composed of unpaid boomer protesters. “
That’s what I was thinking yesterday seeing one such protest. Home made signs and EVERYBODY the correct age to have been taking over the Deans office in 1968.
What’s the Real Target of the Assault on Tesla?.
Simple tribal instincts when confused follow the tribe.
You know, I’m shocked that in the 5 years since the St. Floyd riots that no one has come out and shared the info about how they paid to riot. Who paid, how they got the job, all that stuff.
I doubt very few rioters/looters were paid to do it. The loot haul was their payment. The people that got paid were the press and social media influencers/instigators that stirred up !@#$..
If the perpetrators of fraud and money laundering of
government funds come to trial, I could see the same mob pressure applied to jurors in the trial of the police officers charged in George Floyd’s death.
Yep, it is the deep state fighting back against US.
