The FBI has created a task force intended to “crack down on violent Tesla attacks,” it announced Monday, following a spate of incidents appearing to target Elon Musk’s electric car manufacturer.

      I don’t remember that in particular but look how easy it was for Republicans to do things. Meanwhile my idiot Democrat party has always said things were blocked or impossible because of Republicans. Amazing how it could have all been done all along.

    All I have to say is you can build RC cars and drones at home cheaply. You never have to be at a location.

      I’ve never played with my fire starters, just cotton,wax, and cedar. But you can build a long burn time one and drop it under the tire. Catch the tire on fire and the vehicle goes with it.

      Alternatively you can put thermite in a clay pot on top the hood on the roof and hope the thermite goes down to the battery.

    Possible people responsible for Tesla vandalisms.

    • Protesters that got carried away.
    • Bugaloo Bois, or other right-wing militia groups, trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent and/or just stir shit up, as is part of their M.O.
    • Trump administration lackies trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent to justify police crackdowns.
    • Tesla employees committing insurance fraud whilst trying to frame peaceful protesters as violent.

    Also keep in mind it doesn’t have to be just one. With multiple events of vandalism, all of these (and more) could be true at the same time.
