Nolte: Thieves Steal Tesla’s Electric Vehicle Charging Cables for Copper in California
Breitbart ^ | 05/16/2024 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 05/16/2024 8:58:32 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

3:07 If Democrat-run California wants to force residents into electric vehicles (EVs), Democrat-run California had better start cracking down on crime. Talk about the law of unintended consequences…

“Thieves are targeting high-powered Tesla and other EV charging stations and stealing the heavy cable for the copper metal inside,” reports San Francisco’s NBC affiliate. “In Vallejo, someone cut cables from nine charging stations — leaving Tesla drivers in a bind and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage and repair costs.”

“I think this is the second time or third that these have been cut,” a local EV driver added. “So they need to put some gates up or something. I don’t know what they can do, but this is pretty inconvenient.”

Don’t you see the beauty of all this…?

EV drivers vote for Democrats.

Democrats pass regulations that demand residents switch to EVs.

Democrats also pass laws that basically decriminalize crime.

At $5 a pound, expect charging cables to begin disappearing everywhere.

What do they expect?
They voted for this.
Apparently if the scrap value is under $900, then it’s not even a crime.

I wonder what the copper value of Wheat Backed pennies are now? I am sure it is more than a penny.

= = =

One pound of cable will almost buy one gallon of gas.

I’m gonna need about 12 lbs.

12-24 feet, depending, according to web look-up

Tell the prosecutors and judges that women need to charge their Teslas to get to the clinics to murder their children.

The dems do not plan to do anything about it. After all, the “oppressed” have the right to take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”

copper theft in california at least 3 decades old. Hitting vacant houses and new construction for copper pipes for water and heat pumps and AC. SB used to send deputies to the flea markets where they boldly set up booths and sold the wire they stoled. now they are more subtle.

Copper anywhere is a target.

There’s an easy fix for this. Keep the 480 AMPs of electricity flowing into the cables.

Yup. We had a 4 inch copper pipe and a heavy copper cap on our building. I think it was something to do with back flow pressure for water. Thieves would cut that off several times a year going back to 1990s.

The pumps don’t work ‘cause the vandals took the handles.

High copper prices
+
Weak CA law enforcement
+
A wire cable cutter

That’s a winning combination.
And ladies, you can play too!
