        Teslas are not upper class. They’re cheap, shitty cars. The handful of people driving Cybertrucks are paying 100k, but that’s not because they’re upper class, they’re just financially irresponsible.

          Maybe you should slow down on the hate speech, pal. You’re getting awful crimey with that talk.

    If simple vandalism is punished so harshly, may as well go all in and torch the fucking things. There’s really no reason to stop at keying or painting anymore. Cosmetic damage is being punished as though they’re being rendered completely useless.

    And edgelord baby billionaire should be happy since people will have to buy new cars, and surely his cars are gonna be their first choice, right?

      If vandalism carries a harsher penalty than storming the Capital, well…

        I’m sure many would like to drive a tesla into the Capitol, except they wouldn’t want to suffer the indignation of being seen driving one.

    Between this and using wartime powers to deport people during peacetime, they’re just abusing all the laws.

    What crimes, other than storming the Capital during an official government proceeding and injuring over 150 police officers, are done out of love?

    This will 1000% lead to some horrible bullshit when fsd inevitably plows into something it failed to see and a subsequent lawsuit against the victim…

    It’s not vandalizing, it’s simply making people see it in a new light.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
