Breitbart ^ | 04/29/2025 | Lucas Nolan

A recent survey reveals that over 40 percent of Tesla owners say they have experienced vandalism targeting their vehicles, but less than 20 percent regret buying a car from Elon Musk.

Kelley Blue Book reports that a new study conducted by Guardian Service, a company specializing in helping consumers find insurance plans, has found that a significant portion of Tesla owners are facing vandalism and targeted hostility. The survey, which polled 508 Tesla owners, aimed to shed light on how these incidents, coupled with rising insurance costs, are reshaping the EV ownership experience in America.

According to the findings, 40 percent of Tesla owners reported that their vehicles had been intentionally damaged, with the average cost of repairs amounting to $1,900. The study, conducted in April 2025, reflects the impact of recent acts of domestic terrorism and political violence aimed at Elon Musk for supporting President Donald Trump. Ironically, acts of vandalism against Tesla EVs is almost always leftists attacking their own side, as leftists remain the overwhelming target market for Musk’s EVs.

And the lefties are too blinded by irrationality to see they are only attacking themselves and not hurting Elon Musk one bit.

This is why I think that deliberate property crimes should require restitution at 200% the cost to the victim. If the perp can’t pay it, put him/her in forced labor until he pays it off.

This cr@p would nearly stop completely.

If you have pictures of the Molotov Nazi Geezers. Give them to the cops. Then file charges and file a lawsuit against the arsonist far left swamp hogs.

I think I would be in favor of a National Federal Assistance program to pay for 100% of all vandalism damages to Tesla owners. Plus, of course, a free rental car while their Tesla is being repaired and $10,000 in cash damages for the inconvenience.

If for nothing else, but to piss off the liberal haters.

A “Free” crime. Telsa’s were already hard to insure. Now they will be impossible.

What we have here is the case of economic terrorism. this country cannot survive if we persecute smart men that have created jobs for thousands just because of political beliefs.

It’s a great opportunity to key your own Tesla and get a repaint for the price of your deductible.
