Flagstaff women say they were targeted, assaulted for driving Tesla car (video)

The violence against Tesla is building in cities across the country: vehicles set on fire in Las Vegas, graffiti on cars in Colorado, a man caught on camera keying a Model X in Dallas.

Now, Tesla owners are under attack in Arizona. Recently, a woman who wants to remain anonymous under the alias “Susan,” told Arizona’s Family that she was along Route 66 in Flagstaff when another vehicle started chasing her.

“I’m just appalled,” said Susan. “I didn’t buy my car for a political statement. I bought my car because its really fun to drive. My politics have nothing to do with that. I’m ashamed of our society and what they are doing.

Susan has video of the Tesla attack in Flagstaff last week. It shows a green car pulling up next to her Tesla and then swerving in front of it to box it in.

The driver then walks over to the 61-year-old woman in the Tesla and, reportedly, starts hitting her while she’s behind the wheel.

“I started to say, you cut me off what’s your problem, but I didn’t know how much he heard me,” said Susan. “He got out and started to punch me with a closed fist.”

A massive class action lawsuit filed by Tesla owners hurt by these protests (the initiation of which will be funded by Tesla and/or Elon), against those organizations responsible, including but not limited to those funding these protests, is rumored to be in process.

There’s nothing far-fetched about this. All it takes to initiate a class action is someone footing the bill for the filings, early legal legwork, and basic organization — and that’s pocket change for Elon and/or Tesla.

Most class actions run on contingency anyway, so once it’s filed and certified, the law firm takes the financial risk from there. If Tesla owners can show actual harm from these protests — say, property damage or interference with services — and if a legal team sees a viable path to liability, a case could be built. If Elon decided to back it, even informally, it would have all the fuel it needs to launch.

And he’s certainly not shy about putting his weight behind things that launch.

My wife said immediately, Why did she have her window down and why did she not drive around them or ram their car?

The woman’s inaction pissed her off.

Ditto.

It seems no one can blame Democrats. Well, I can:
Indian removal, aka the Trail of Tears
Slavery
Segregation
Japanese-American internment
family-busting welfare
affirmative action / DEI

When there is blame, it always seems to be directed at America. America would be 100 times better if it weren’t for the Democrats.

Window down a question mark, but no ramming a Tesla ever ever ever.

Exactly! Don’t blame “society”. When Budweiser pissed off conservatives we simply didn’t buy it. Liberals attack and destroy.

I was thinking about something similar. But those cans usually carry a warning about how it’s against the law to use in a manner not intended. So a liberal DA can really jam you up there.

A much better option is police-grade pepper spray. It’s legal in every state, although some states have size restrictions. Fox and Sabre are good brands. Both are available on Amazon.

Arizona is a Constitutional carry state. Anyone 21 or older can carry concealed without permit or license. I'd guess every 4th person or so is armed. It's why in most midsized and smaller towns in Arizona, crime is low.☺

100%. Some stranger runs you off the road, blocks your vehicle, exits their vehicle in a threatening manner and then attempts to assault or attack you? I would do everything possible to stop that threat quickly. You bet.

And bring it before the most patriotic judge in the country, whoever that might be. Preferably a veteran whose friends have lost life or limb to keep this country from becoming the hellhole these terrorists are trying to make the USA.

Good point on the “ramming”. She would never drive an EV, so she didn’t think of that.

Speaking of....the feds have all kinds of crash standards for cars, are EVs exempt?
