Tesla automobiles and Tesla dealerships have been vandalized by anti-Trump protesters. Is vandalism against Tesla an appropriate form of protest?"
NO -
DEM: 61%.
IND: 79%.
GOP: 78%.
All Voters: 72%.
...
28% agree vandalism is acceptable and should continue
...
Tesla owners who are attacked in their vehicles have the right to defend themselves in 30 states (per Grok 3.0).

39% dems, no problem! Burn 🔥 away
...
The Brown Shirts of Germany were a minority but very effectively terrorized their country.
...
If 39% of Democrats believe it is appropriate, it's time for all Tesla owners to arm themselves. Because their lives are likely in danger from the demonic Dems
...
22% of the *GOP* doesn't think it's a problem?
I wonder what the same breakdown of Tesla owners by political party registration would be?
Even asking the question affirms that conservatives follow the leadership example of Neville Chamberlain dealing with the Nazis. War has been declared. There’s brown shirts attacking in the streets. Yet, here we are, debating the question: “Should we be taking this seriously?”
Vandalism is not a valid form of protest, period.
If violence is your only argument, you probably don’t have a very good case.
Interesting the number of gop identified that said it was ok.
Totally agree.
If most people across the political spectrum think vandalising teslas is a bad thing—then this is another 80-20 winning issue for Trump and Tesla will eventually shine again.
most likely people misrepresenting themselves to skew polls, though there are whackos on all sides.
The vandalism against Tesla is absolutely terrible—really bad stuff. But let’s be honest, it’s nothing compared to what the radical liberals are doing. The so-called “boycotts,” the Democrat investors dumping their stock—it’s economic terrorism, plain and simple.
They’re trying to destroy a great American company, a company that should be thriving. It’s a disgrace, and everybody knows it.
Destruction of property is seventh commandment. Theft. So no. It is not right. In any way.
MSM as an ally of the terrorists. Their goal is to crush Tesla sales. MSM will give as much publicity to the attacks as possible. I do expect the sales to tank. People will be afraid to buy a car that gets keyed or burned or worse. This is the definition of a terrorist act.
I cannot believe that nationwide terrorists attacks are taking place against a single corporate chain and people driving that brand of car, with shootings, fire bombings, arson, vandalism, and threatening street attacks, yet is being discussed as a protest.
If this was happening to nationwide PBS offices and employee parking lots or on their way home, or Ben and Jerry’s chain stores and customers, or Democratic Party offices and workers nationwide, this would be instantly seen as a national terrorist campaign and full forces brought against it.
Is damage against Tesla vandals appropriate? YES!
unless the other 3 boxes have been denied to you, but this isn’t the case here. they still have control of at least 2 of them
Who is going to start staking teslas out at 200 yards?
Tesla autos have cameras. There are already some charges brought for the crimes, it is understood these are terrorist acts.
How many going to jail for long time will it take to stop this #ComDem_Insanity?
Surprisingly high number, which I could see if we were talking about Subarus.
But, but...Subaru is the car that love built. /s
Trump Derangement Syndrome on steroids.
Most of those Teslas were purchased just a few years ago by the most radically “green” ideologues in America, as a protest against “Big Oil”, without realizing that the electricity came from SOMEWHERE that went to recharge these same vehicles. And a goodly part of it came from the natural gas that powered the generation stations that put the electricity on line. Only a VERY small part, if any, of the electricity used to charge up the Tesla battery pack came from so-called “green” renewables, wind and solar.
But they were “fixing” the CO2 problem.
How much CO2 and some very REAL pollutants are being put back in the air and water by the burning of these vehicles today?
These people are cuffing crazy.
