Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor’s office said Monday.

The Americans: Leave a strongly worded note on the dashboard.
The French: Light that shit up!
That’s a shame. /Seinfeld

It’s true, the French are much better at revolution than Americans.
Insurance payout likely softens Tesla’s blow; pointless destruction.

This dude has never dealt with insurance claims.
Until insurance makes you uninsurable.
No! Now they can write them off on their insurance! They needed to have them languish unsold taking up retail space for years and learn to regret their purchase.
Naa their insurance rate is going to go through the roof! Or at least on fire.
All Tesla dealerships are all directly owned by Tesla, right?
I believe so yes https://www.cato.org/regulation/summer-2014/tesla-car-dealers-lobby

A dozen? That’s it? They can do better than that.
In before the shit lobs start crying about how you’re only hurting the poor working class Tesla dealership owners, not Elon himself.
It’s already here.
I’ve seen assholes right here on lemmy decrying “I bought one before I knew he was a POS! How dare you imply I should sell it!”
Same fuckers crawl out of the woodwork to defend food delivery apps because “but some people need them!”
The reality is Americans are soft as fuck and are not ready for the hard times that are coming.
Good thing Tesla follows a direct sales model and their dealerships are really just company owned store rooms as opposed to some massive corporate go-between that’s “only there to protect customers” while inflating financing pricing to skim $$, bolting on overpriced accessories, etc. Those massive corporate interests that spent $80.8 million lobying for their existence in 2022 are surely here to help the little guy/gal.
They must really hate that dealerships insurance company. I don’t think that even registeres with Elon.
To hurt them you have to strike closer to home.
The French get shit done, unlike weak Americans.
That’s how you boycott something
Nice.
No, Toulouse!

Ba dum tss!
