I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.

I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.

I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.

But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.

    wastes literal resources extracted from our planet to fix or replace the car

    This is the big part for me. The car exists. It’s made. That can’t be undone. Making it unsafe (from vandalism) to drive, the only remaining option is for it to go to waste, for the most part. Sure, it can be recycled, but that’s still wasteful compared to continuing to use it.
