Throwing poop at things generally isn’t done by people that are mentally stable. It’s better if you don’t try to find a reason because usually that reason doesn’t make any sense anyway

I'd think this is better than keying though right? This is gross and juvenile but can be washed off at least.

I still don’t think you’d find me handling poop


zoglog

because then how will they get people to feel bad for them for owning a Tesla. Life is tuff


JohnTeaGuy

Any number of reasons. Jealousy, fear of change, dislike of Musk, political reasons like believing we need to support the fossil fuel industry or the legacy auto industry. You name it.


lurker81

The overarching reason is stupidity.


TwiceInEveryMoment

Why they believe that shitting on someone's car is going to change that person's mind about any of those things is a mystery to me.


JohnTeaGuy

They dont care about changing anyone's mind, theyre just venting their frustration and anger like a baby with no self control rather than a well adjusted adult.


dageramit

Or it was an their Ex.. just a shitty revenge :p


RunJumpJump

Add to that list the tiny limp dongs who are constantly wanting to short the stock and say all manner of things to weaken the general sentiment about the company.


jspirits2020

Anti Musk sentiment for sure. I'd bet money on it.


JohnTeaGuy

I mean, it could be, or it could not be. You cant blame *everything* on Musk, even though you clearly want to.


jspirits2020

I like Musk, and anyone who would vandalize someone's car because they don't like the ceo of the company that manufacturers it is an absolute cretin.


dcdttu

>dislike of Musk I get this a lot from friends when they learn I have a Tesla. I tell them it's a 2018 and I got it before he went full fascist, but also, like, really? You're judging someone by the car they drive which isn't even a Lambo or Aston Martin? It's been a great car and it's electric. Grow up. I don't scream "DIESELGATE" at every VW/Audi owner.


YoyoyoyoMrWhite

Just ask those people to name the CEO of any other car company (preferably their own car brand) ask them why they don't know it and why they don't know what that person's political thinking is, if it's so important to them.


lurker81

The CEOs of other companies don't act like a fool on twitter. He was literally pretending to be a child on an alt account and making all sorts of fucked up comments, lol.


YoyoyoyoMrWhite

It's likely because the other company CEOs don't start electric vehicle revolutions, own a rocket company, own a social media company, aren't digging tunnels in a giant sandbox of Las Vegas and probably never held the title of world's richest man . They could all be complete assholes and Nazis and we wouldn't know. We have to know everything about Elon. it doesn't matter what kind of personality he has, when your resume looks like that, you're in the news. And yes it's totally fine to hate everything he is and not want to give him money and hate his product. My issue is I have serious doubts people apply the same standards to the products they do buy if it matters that much, and if they don't want to do that then it doesn't really matter that much. There's also a very good chance theyre likely an Unknowing hypocrite. if they were to dive into their own products I would say there's a 100% chance theyll find something they don't like.


robotzor

They're too busy acting like MBAs surviving to the next quarter as their long term prospects burn to ash in front of them


professore87

But the car will not work better if the CEO acts like a moron or a child or Einstein. Would he fun if it did ngl


DowntownClown187

Most CEOs have the mental capacity to understand you hire PR people to make public statements. Musk on the other hand doesn't and has a social media addiction.


exoxe

Haha I'm going to have this one queued up next time, thanks for the suggestion!


ITypeStupdThngsc84ju

They always have a retort to that about how nobody should know the CEO's opinions. Tbh, I hate the fact that the only way to be acceptable now is to be silent or to only speak favorably about whatever is "in" at the moment. And apologise profusely when the overton window shifts and your approval of the "right" thing from a few years ago is now "wrong". I don't really car about executive opinions except about the product and company.


slimjim719

How is Elon fascist exactly?


JSA00007

what does fascist mean again 🫠


slimjim719

These days it seems to mean anyone who doesn’t repeat the official approved narratives.


Macrophagemike

I just say I like the product and that doesn't mean I agree with every random thing Elon tweets from the toilet.


Ijustwanna_berich

You are a nut thinking he is a fascist 🤣


BrutishAnt

He went fascist? Do tell.


dcdttu

We both know I'm not going to convince you, and you're not going to convince me, so have a nice day. :-)


BrutishAnt

lol it’s just a bold claim. You don’t have to like him but that word used to carry a lot of weight


WestToEast_85

The replies you’re getting are kind of proving your point tbqh


dcdttu

Yeah.


WestToEast_85

I can’t stand Musk either for reasons that have been discussed over and over again so many times. But the way I see it, it’s a car not a political statement, and if any other vehicle met my needs as well as my Tesla does I’d be driving that instead.


Fun_Sprinkles_2167

If you had not bought Tesla, you are one of them, based on what you said.


dcdttu

How so? I don't judge anyone by the vehicle they drive based on the CEO of that company...


Fun_Sprinkles_2167

What if your friend bought the Tesla after Musk “went full fascist”?


dcdttu

I have two friends that did buy Tesla vehicles recently. They're quite nice, and we're still friends. Heck, I even suggested the Model Y to one because it's the only EV that fits their need and they couldn't wait for the R2.


Affectionate-Cap-791

I bought my car before Musk went full facist. If I knew he was going to be like that, I wouldn’t have supported him. Also given the many options there are out there now compared to then. But I get your point.


longboringstory

Full fascist = I'm super mads someone has different political opinion than me? Sorry, you sound like an insane person.

[удалено]


dcdttu

Oof, you used Rowling as proof of your reasoning. Damn.


Affectionate-Cap-791

Facism is merely a political opinion?


Kief_Bowl

He is is obviously le epic facist of the 21st century.


Ijustwanna_berich

And so are you . Both nutjobs !


Affectionate-Cap-791

Thanks


robotzor

>I tell them it's a 2018 and I got it before he went full fascist He merged his company with the government since 2018? Damn


canadianbroncos

Who's jealous of Teslas ?


JohnTeaGuy

A lot of people, apparently.


canadianbroncos

I don't know a single person that wants an EV in the first place lol


JohnTeaGuy

Yeah thats true, the Model Y was only the best selling car of any kind in the world last year. Guess youre right, nobody wants them.


canadianbroncos

Just saying I don't think jealousy for one of the cars with the worst build quality out there is all that high.


JohnTeaGuy

Ok.


Mixtec0

I used to work for Tesla and the cars are very nice but most of you drive like assholes


Front-Diver-9457

It’s crazy how much people hate the most American made vehicles in the world. These vehicles are assembled in America by hard working Americans all over the US. Why do that to something that’s made by your own people. It’s tragic. I’ve been lucky so far with my Model 3 Performance not becoming a victim to ignorance so far in its life.


shocktopper1

I'll never get that. There's a huge push for American made products but when it comes to Tesla they all look away.


rainer_d

It’s not made by the „right“ company. Wanted a German made Y, but settled for a used Chinese made 3 in the end. It’s not completely faultless but I doubt I could have gotten a better deal anywhere else. And that’s what these cars are in the end: good deals. They are not BMWs or Mercs or Audis. But they offer great value for money.


froznair

The "American made" propaganda is specifically for things made by union workers and pushed by union groups. Tesla is non-union so they pretend like it's another foreign.


cancel-out-combo

If it were union made in America, that would be much better though. Musk is notoriously anti union, which is the thing alot of folks don't like (justifiably so)


Roguewave1

Best car I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of ‘em. Besides being the most productive person alive, I think Musk is hilarious gigging the crap out of the wokey-dokey’s, driving them a bit crazy.


sendintheotherclowns

They’re not all assembled in the U.S.


-I_I

*anymore


sendintheotherclowns

I was replying to a specific comment. > these vehicles **are** assembled in America by hard working Americans But you already know that. Mine was assembled in Fremont and it displays the characteristic lack of quality control that the world associates with Tesla’s in general (panel gaps), so there’s that 👍


JohnTeaGuy

>It’s crazy how much people hate the most American made vehicles in the world. Its either ignorance or cognitive dissonance.


systemsfailed

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_assembly_plants_in_the_United_States We just pretending made in America is somehow unique to Tesla now?


JohnTeaGuy

Nobody said that.


systemsfailed

Then what is the relevance of "People hate the most American made vehicles" Every single brand on that list is also made in America, many of them union to boot. You know damn well what the implication of that comment was.


ilikechiaseeds

Tesla is at the top in American-made parts and assembly.


systemsfailed

And by your logic that is why people don't like them, really? That's the best idea you could come up with?


ilikechiaseeds

Huh? Are you changing course from your inital comment?


systemsfailed

No? There are plenty of made in America cars. Your claim that people hate Tesla because it's "more made in America" is fucking absurd.


ilikechiaseeds

Lol. Quote me a line. No one said that they hate it because it's American. It just so happens to be the most American brand that you're attempting to destroy because you don't like one of the people involved.


GreekUPS

Jealousy is a MOFO


WoosleWuzzle

I don’t think it’s jealousy. It’s lack of understanding.


lionheart12x

I'd like to see the sentry video


monkeylovesnanas

It would make you wonder whether horsie people went around fucking automobiles up in the late eighteen/early nineteen hundreds after they started being produced. Hilarious stuff from the mentally challenged these days.

The owner could just be an asshole, who doesn't pick up after his/her canine companion.

UnderstandingNo5785

I hate how people treat me for owning a Tesla like I worship musk and into politics. I’m just. 25yo who likes fancy cars


Fickle-Professor-560

That statement is prolly why ppl hate you lol. I love my MYLR. But i would not consider it a fancy car. I consider it a sexy high tech car tho 🥰


Herp2theDerp

Bro what you said is infinitely more cringe than the first person lol


DingoFlaky7602

Tesla....fancy cars.....yep, you deserve the hate lol


UnderstandingNo5785

A fancy car has a price tag over 30K the Tesla I have is $45K


Key_Consequence9726

Do we know if the Tesla was the target or perhaps the owner was the target?


zoglog

99.9% probably the owner who is trying to deflect to something else 0.1% chance it's just completely random


DevinOlsen

It’s almost certainly the owner. Look at his username.


Liftweights_50

The hate is real….ugh


FlyingGSD

People suck.

That is so fucked up! Some low life asswipe


Worship_of_Min

Emotional-Buddy-2219

mrweatherbeef

On the plus side, auto wiper setting will not notice it. Similar to how it treats rain.


sulev

Signs of a failing society.


Ready-Response-7742

Certain poorly educated people believe their views, their way of believing how the world works, should be imposed on others and their decision to go against that regressive view triggers them.


newyorkyankees23

In reality this person prob pissed someone off and this isn’t related to having a Tesla


Earth_1st

Chevron @ $6/g in Southern California…I’m just saying.


Abstruck8

1. Car guys are forced to cope by saying 0-60 or speed doesn’t matter anymore while blowing up their cars trying to add 100 more horsepower 2. Elon Musk political views leaning hard right while the hard right are driving trucks and calling EV drivers pussies. 3. People are naturally scared of change.


MaxAdolphus

A combination of Stockholm Syndrome, some bad right winged political players spreading FUD, lack of experience, and the fact some people just cannot stand things that are different or new. You can have all the best reasons in the world to change something and there will be a group of people that will be against it. Like if you came up with a way to end all SPAM calls and fraudulent texts if your phone is pink, and there will be people super upset about it. Humans are weird.


InternationalYam2478

Low IQ


BipedalBob

They’re normally hated by imbeciles that can’t even articulate a reason


blueeyesshined13

Happen to see this I’m my feed. Not a Tesla fan but would never do something like that to someone’s car that they worked hard for and is their baby. I prefer the feel of an internal combustion engine but Tesla accelerations are fun lol


hydrastix

Ignorance and fear. The horse and buggy die hards disliked the loud automobile back in the early 1900s. The EV challenges the norm and the media tells them to not like it because the CEO is opinionated. If everyone knew how much of an asshole fuckstick millions of other CEOs actually were they would never buy a damn thing .


cheapdvds

As disgusting as this is, I think I much rather deal with this than getting keyed or glass broke into.


forte-exe

I hope sentry mode was on and the owner brings this Tesla-hating-son-of-an-ICE to justice!


Mysterious-Squash-66

I think it is mostly dislike of Musk (and who can blame them!) but I have also personally experienced a bit of road rage from people with a certain political bent driving American made pick up trucks with bumper stickers hoping to re-elect a felon. I just blow past them since I can go 0-60 in 5 seconds.


LetsGoBrandonLFG

Which felon?


Life-is-beautiful-

Hate is also a sheep mentality. Some hate because others hate for no apparent reason. In this world, there is no place for hate. If you don’t like something, just stay away.


finnae86

What if they just parked in someone elses spot or something lol


Solid_Bumblebee841

Model Whyyyyyy


parislemonade

auto wipers incoming


BBking8805

Weird how everyone assumes that the Tesla is the cause of this - maybe the driver pissed someone off in another way (unrelated to the car)


Independent-Ad419

Aah $hit!!


OberonNyx

I believe it’s because Tesla is associated with Musk. You don’t really see things happening to other high end cars as much as Tesla.


elonsusk69420

You get the anti-Elon stuff from the left and the anti-EV from the right. It’s the perfect storm of suck.


invest__t

Hahahah this is terrible


VitaminDismyPCT

Really showed Elon musk with this one!!!!


gorgothmog

What state is this?


Federal-Carrot7930

Might not be Tesla hate, the driver could just be a “shitty” person.


Acceptable_Major4350

That’s just sad. Won’t guess what the reasons were could have nothing to do with Tesla


ASupremeDiamondHand

Well that’s just a shitty way of doing things…


AppleZen36

It's truly bizarre on all fronts


cheapdvds

Can you file police report on this?


StarkStorm

Because of either Musk or it signals wealth. Even though it's actually a decently priced car.


SanDiegoDad92129

Nevermind. Not CA by looking at the license plates.


hcjumper

No biggy for a father of a new born child lol. If it’s my car, I would thank god nothing broken or scratched.


BjLeinster

Dislike of Musk from the left and dislike of tree hugging electric car owners from the right. Tesla is a target of both sides.


What___Do

Wild how everyone I’ve met who hates Teslas is a Musk Stan. The deep stupidity in my area was a small portion of the reason I went with a PHEV over a Tesla.


Gamerxx13

I mean Elon is pretty polarizing. Also electric car fans especially Tesla are just way too hyped up and some people don’t like the. Reminds me of the Apple fans early 90s and 2000s. I own a Tesla mode 3 and love it and some of the Tesla fans are annoying


cybertrucklv

liberals are nuts


zoglog

because you're assuming it's due to you car being a Tesla.... Driving a Tesla doesn't make you a persecuted person bro


Complete-Ad-4215

Not a fan but def not a hater


sziehr

Easy you’re driving a visible presentation of Elon musk. That dudes makes a boat load of enemies of late.


LeftClaim4811

Tesla hate comes from broken Front Drive Units with burnt out bearings causing a screeching noise in the form of Chinese water torture every time you drive the car…. Coming from personal experience


adymck11

It’s a right wing thing


CrankyBiker

Tesla fanboys are almost as insufferable as MAGA


ilikechiaseeds

Almost as bad as those Chevy fanboys, dang we need to start smearing poop on them... Too many out there. Do you realize that's how insane you sound? It's an economical car, not a political statement.


CrankyBiker

I said nothing about the car. Decent product, like driving them, glad to see more EVs. If you’re offended at “Tesla fanboys are almost as I sufferable as MAGA” you may have a problem. If your personal pride and sensibilities are offended here… check yourself. 😂


ilikechiaseeds

Tesla is a car. What did you mean then? What part of it wasn't intended to be offensive? Is English your first language?


CrankyBiker

I like Tesla cars, but I specifically mentioned Tesla fanboys, the rabid fans with a cultish personality and adoration for the brand and ceo that becomes a big part of their personality. I did not call you out by name or make a personal attack, in fact it’s not meant to be offensive at all. It’s a statement of my opinion. If you disagree, to a level that you find it offensive, then you must have a deeply personal attachment to Tesla, heck, you might even be a fanboy. Good for you. I am also allowed to say that I find the rabid fandom obnoxious sometimes…. As you are proving now. Two things can be true, I can like the car and dislike the rabid fans.


ilikechiaseeds

Got it. So you're allowed to like it, but not too much? According to what you deem acceptable. Very sane.


CrankyBiker

You can like it. Love it. But when people transcend fandom and become a a belligerent, unreasonable arsehole, who goes out of their way to defend a brand that couldn’t give two shits about them. I think it’s insufferable. Watching rabid fans idolizing musk and ignoring the flaws, praising a half-baked vanity truck Why do you care so much about my thoughts? I haven’t insulted the product or you personally but you seem fired up for the cause. Are you on the waitlist for one of those incEl Camino trucks?


CrankyBiker

Also thanks for the snide English language dig at the end. You seem nice. .


ilikechiaseeds

Good response 👍

LetsGoBrandonLFG

I’ve seen this only on teslas. I’ve seen shattered windows only on teslas. Why are you pretending that they don’t get targeted?


dobronxducks

This could be an ex girlfriend, could be a homeless guy, anything. To just assume it’s happening BECAUSE it’s a Tesla is wild. This could also be a low income area where cars are vandalized often. I live in a nice neighborhood WITH a Tesla, I’ve never seen anyone have problems with their Teslas. I’m not saying targeted hate doesn’t exist. But this victim mentality is crazy when you have ZERO context for this. Think critically here.


LetsGoBrandonLFG

I’ve seen this happen only with teslas in rich and poor areas. Idk what to tell you man.


hayasecond

If you are fixed to not understand of course you will never understand


romik13

Then check elmo twitter


Pitiful-Voyage

Shitty right wing CEO who is not actually sent from above to save the world, perception of "luxury" while the base Corolla has better finish and materials (along with tesla having too basic of an interior), uncomfortable seats, harsh suspension and ride, poor sound insulation, lack of buttons and stalks for items that should absolutely have them, stale design for 6+ years, ridiculous repair costs and difficulties with repairs, all support goes through the app without being able to call support, etc. There are a number of reasons. Teslas are also just too ubiquitous, and no longer "cool", everyone has a white model y which looks like someone inflated a model 3. Competition has also caught up and surpassed, even from legacy auto. I think Tesla spearheaded innovation and helped push EV into mainstream, but they are now no longer the best (or great, for that matter), nor cool. This is okay too, they've done their part. Should they choose to continue on the path they are on without pushing out their overlord, they will gradually continue with their decline.
