    What do you call a dozen burned teslas?

    A good start.

    I’ll be here all week. Tip your waiter.

        I’m pretty sure you still need an accelerant, which would be the more expensive part.

          Or you just pour water on the “wrong spot” (where tesla was too cheap to protect the batteries) and it burns down itself.

              Afaik, moisture getting into batteries/accumulators is the main cause for them to bloat and to bad, which is a problem with teslas, as can be seen by problems arising from just being in rainy weather often (UK)

                You’re not wrong but that takes a lot of time. Its an oxidation reaction happening.the fastest way to start a volatile reaction in a sealed lithium battery cell is to pierce the exterior container

      I do feel bad for people who bought Tesla EVs a few years ago, before mask-off Elon.

        I can see your point. Buyer’s remorse is real. Although, the cyber truck is an especially easy target because of its high price, low quality, and poor styling.

        Before or after he called someone a pedophile for not showing deference to his idiotic cave rescue idea? He’s been publicly questionable since at least 2018.

          I guess it depends on how long you keep a car, personally I usually go for a decade.

          I don’t have a Tesla though, just a ‘little’ Skoda Yeti :)

    I’m so tired of peach Mussolini and his lackey Mush that I want Tesla to burn. I would never encourage people to do it, but I get it.

    All the nazi and fascistic shit has consequences.

      As far as I know, Tesla owns all of their showrooms and service centers. Sort of a point of contention between them and other American automakers that they don’t use the traditional dealership model.

      No. Not in the slightest. All you did was give them insurance write off.

      Cars staying with no one buying them, THAT hurts Tesla. Musk? Nah, he’s checked out since Teslas and EVs aren’t exactly something right gives tow shits about… At least until he needs another payout, but that’s not why he became a president of USA for! Infinite money.

        Insurance generally does not cover arson, but I don’t know if their policy specifically does. If it was covered, the insurance company is going to consider raising the premiums for coverage. If enough dealerships have to make claims due to arson, all dealerships may have increased premiums, or may even become uninsurable, which would likely stop them from operating at all.

    Now this is more likely to get some jury nullification going. Even more so if you can cast doubt on if it really was the suspect.
