Wouldn’t destroying the unsold Teslas and their shops be a better application of energy? That would directly and immediately hurt Tesla, both by destroying their stock, and raising or making them uninsurable. And they are fewer but contain a lot more value. Making individual buyers suffer seems stupid to me, when there seem to me much more efficient methods available
Driving up insurance rates is certainly a possibility.
Is the idea to hurt people that bought Teslas a few years ago?
No they are collateral demage…
The idea is to make Tesla brand toxic

Hurting them hurts musk. Bad roll of the dice but it’s working.
