So basically, people are committing criminal acts of vandalism to make a point that is Elon is bad? And they are going to make Tesla owners suffer? What pathetic human beings

You're probably right, it's most likely isolated incidents they are blowing to make it look bigger than it really is. Remember that clip I sent you? The media is all scripted

This is due to people stealing them charging cables, not vandalizing them, due to high quality copper in them.

Tesla vehicles are being vandalized because people think their "correct" political view gives them right to destroy other peoples property.

terrorism
noun
  1. the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Definitely straddling the line of vandalism.

Idiotic part about Tesla hate is that now both extremists on left and right hate them, left because of Musk and right because they hate all EVs due to political propaganda.

This is the dilemma we currently live in. The reason I don't belong to any political party. And if someone damages or destroys my cars because of a political disagreement, that is in my mind 100 percent terrorism
