YSK You can find a Tesla protest near you at teslatakedown.com

You don't have to "sign up". You can just scroll down a bit to the "Find A Protest Now" button, or click the direct link I provided above.
ETA, you don't even need a clever sign to hold up. Just being present is good enough.
This is good advice. Thoth here’s a thought. Most people around here know about tor and VPNs and http proxies and whatever else. And even without that probably in general leave a more anonymous footprint on the web. I’m betting there are millions of “normies” visiting that site from their phones following FB or X (lol) or IG or TikTok links. (Which would be the same phones they will have on them when they attend one of these protests. ) But I’m betting there’s millions of visitors. Trump can’t even deport millions of people, much as he’d like to claim. If they start arresting millions for visiting a website (not that they’d have anywhere to put them) that would certainly have people rioting in the streets.
And then the paramilitary rounds up the rioters and they get locked in concentration camps too.
The admin running the site is blocking access from Tor.
Error: Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server.
Edit: I just sent them an email to the address on their WhoIs registration asking them to allow Tor. Email is 8hugsrrg2j7xebd@proxy.dreamhost.com, I encourage you to do the same.
Or this is all a honeypot and we're all fucked. Yippee!
Everyone should always be using Tor for any activism.
People who don't mind being lumped in with Nazis. Teslas might be sold by owners at a loss, but besides the CyberStuck the other models sell used.
For example where I live in Canada the district has never voted anything but conservative for decades. Nobody is harassing Tesla owners here, different story if they drive 25 kilometers down the highway into the city.
They lose 1/2 value in 2 years. Used models 3s go for 15-25k with around 30k miles on them.
Dont buy new, buy used at least.
If you can avoid 1st party Tesla service centers (not user friendly or pro right to repair like an Apple product and attitude) and deal with the "I'm not a nazi, just frugal" stickers, it could be worth any perceived risk.
I get the other view, that it's quite wasteful to just destroy them. Not that it would've happened anyways. That wouldn't be realistic, just progressive fantasies.
People who don't care about it and just want a good price, probably.
Still, a sale that does not go towards the Billionaire.
No one. Which is why we shouldn't bother existing Tesla owners.
But they should still put their cars up for sale. Flood the market.
I thought about buying options on TSLA when Musk become president and really regret not doing so.
It's never too late:

You don't need to buy options. Someone did all that and made an ETF out of it for you.
Sick! There is one less than 10 minutes away from me on Saturday!!! Im happy about this.
We had one here in my small suburb town a couple of days ago. I was surprised, and pleased to see it. There were only about 50 people, but there was 50 people.

One event in Finland
Sunny Car Center
lmao
LMAO
panis
I don't need a clever sign but I want one. How do I work in a "musky odor" pun
There's a million things you could do with that. The musk of kleptocracy? I dunno.
Or you could do a bunch of other Elon refences - Don't buy from klepto-guy, gimme a Model FU, Elon owes a horse by now, etc.
What do they do?
LOL, wut? Where on earth did you get that idea? It'll be illegal if the fascists get their way and take over, but we're not there yet. This is one way we can help to stop that from happening.
It's something trump said.
You are thinking far to linearly. Think of this as a guerilla tactics to take advantage of media focus and what would happen if Musk crashed out.
Tesla is sort of a public-facing proxy for Musk's wealth, and is becoming a lightning rod.
It’s not so much about practicality, but desperation and an opportunity to send a message.
Musk borrows against Tesla all the time. Billionaires don't generally have a ton of liquid cash, they need to take out loans and put up collateral.
Yup. If Tesla goes down, he won't be able to take out loans as easily anymore and might need to sell assets for liquid cash.
At the very least, it has to slightly annoy him. But likely also has a psychological effect. Will it make him suddenly decide not to be an asshole? Probably not. But it may spin him further out of control, to where he starts making even stupider decisions until he finally fucks with the wrong people or the wrong stuff and then really finds out.
It's better than doing nothing. It can reduce his influence as he won't have as much wealth available to buy politicians.
Whats your plan? Sit and complain that people are desperate on Lemmy? How does that help?
His other companies aren't valued as highly.
The only one that seems to make money is SpaceX, and that one isn't public so we don't actually know if it makes money or it's as shitty as all his other companies.
Without Tesla he'll have real trouble getting loans... or Trump will give him a bailout, obviously, but it would still be useful if more people saw that he's not self-made and relies on free money from the government.
Does my diesel pickup truck count as protest against Tesla?
No, just a protest against saving money.
definitely. We go after Tesla because of what it's billionaire owner stands for.
I don't feel like that's the case. The cheapest used pickup available right now costs 3x as much as I paid for mine. The price difference pays my fuel for 10 years.
TBH Teslas have always been status symbols for the uber wealthy.
If they were a true "people's car," they’d be plug in hybrids with a tiny gas generator… and like half the price, with less emissions from production.
What I like most about electric cars is that there's so much less moving parts that break and need to be replaced. With a hybrid this isn't really the case. I wouldn't mind getting an electric pickup but they're just way out of my price range and I don't quite feel like getting one that's all new and shiny because I use mine for work and it'll eventually get all banged up anyway. Also, really difficult to find one with just two seats and a long bed.
