To all the pearl clutchers, it was Molotov cocktails and graffiti, not IEDs. She was vandalizing the dealership.

And upgraded to federal charges. Kash Patel is spending government resources on this for his partisan buddy instead of rightwing extremists and insurrectionists.
"Instead of"
Implies Patel would ever prosecute right wing criminals.
He won't, unless they piss off trump.
A potential 20 year sentence! For $5,000 in damages to luxury vehicles.
She used molotov cocktails and only did $5,000 in damage? I was really expecting to hear a few hundred Gs based on tesla's prices and the cars I've seen go up in flames in the past.
Yeah, $5,000...
She must have totally destroyed tens of cybertrucks
Meanwhile, the J6 terrorists are pardoned.
And the child-trafficking Tate brothers are rescued and brought back.
In the eyes of the law a Molotov cocktail carries the same penalties as a pipe bomb, both "unregistered Destructive Devices". It's the ATF's bailiwick so it's not unusual that the feds are involved, strictly speaking.
Oh those mischievous 40 year old kids. I say let her go with a warning.
Wow - great way to help our cause!
All that’s going to do is make some insurance companies more money. If she’s gonna throw her life away she should’ve just gone after Elon lmao
I only agree with the last 7 words, hard disagree with everything before that tho.
Blowing up Teslas at a dealership gives both the dealership and Tesla more money, as well as makes them have to build another one.
That’s a W for the wrong side, unless you just like seeing aimless destruction
Edit: like if you really wanna blow shit up, go after Teslas that have already been bought. Make people hate owning them, insurance rates for them go up, etc. Much more effective
It actually doesn't give them more money, and it's actually pretty costly if you look at at the situation past a very basic/immediate view of the situation.
How does Tesla/dealership get money? From insurance claims. Do you think the insurance claim is going to cover 100% of the money the sale would have made, or just inventory value and maybe a bit more for lost revenue? Do you think the insurance company is going to cover list revenue while the inventory is being repurchased and shipped, and any repairs are being made? And if you think they get all of the above, do you really think they're not going to be paying higher liability premiums?
Which costs them money and time. Both things that can't be recouped 100%.
The best way to hurt a company is to fuck with their insurance. Inventory comes and goes, but insurance companies can sink a business by refusing to underwrite. Melon may be able to float without for a while, but the investors will have a conniption of that goes on for very long.
This is silly. There's no sustainable way to profit from insurance claims. Whatever short term "profit" Tesla may get from a claim will be wiped out when the insurance companies raise prices to cover it. Insurance companies don't have unlimited money.
Especially if investors are getting wind. Stock holders won't hold if they think public sentiment is that bad.
Regarding Nazi property: if it can be turned against them, better; but if not, destruction is second-best.
The loss of productivity and environmental damage of letting Nazis persist in any fashion far outweigh any value the objects hold on their own.
The most value we can extract from that trash is the message it sends as it's burning to the ground.
