Once again the French demonstrate that they know how to raise hell.
We need to get more like the French.

Probably the batteries, yeah?
Yeah, lithium batteries are well known fire hazards.
And once they get going, they get going, google thermal runaway for some interesting videos.
To fight a thermal runaway you need to cool it down fast, ice is commonly recommanded.
France is literally protesting better than the USA over our own issues...
It's because your issues are everyone's issues.
Yeah - I just wish our leaders (Democrat ones) would call for protests at least. It would help. Instead we twiddle our thumbs as our institutions are destroyed. I haven't heard of a single protest for the tariffs today that nobody wants but Trump and Putin...
Only 12? C'mon France we know you can do much better. Try again.
Hey let's be real.
Ain't no protest like a French protest.
They'll do better. Patience.
I'll believe it when they chop teslas in half with a giant blade.
What have you done lately?
I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.
I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.
I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.
That’s what I’ve heard.
The insurance premiums of the commercial ones will increase by a lot of this happens too much.
Good news to start the day :)
I wish it produced less pollution, but if it kills Tesla sales in Europe its probably a net benefit.
C'mon, please don't generate revenue for Tesla - not even from insurance policies. It makes more sense for the cars to just stand around and rust despite the stainless steel. Nobody wants to buy from that goddamn Nazi anyway.
But hey, maybe Musk had the cars set on fire himself - that would be a rather harmless insurance scam compared to his other activities...
If it continues, insurance companies will not insure Teslas. Already happened to certain Audi and Porsche models that had subpar plating underneath. Spontaneous combustion would easily do that to Teslas.
Two people on my block have bought Teslas since the inauguration :( I'm in NYC
They did nazi that coming
I think - for their own safety, of course - we should gather more of these Tesla vehicles together in a central location so they can be isolated from the population at large... Perhaps in some sort of tent-based accommodation?
Get the nazi traitors and Putin assets out of Europe. Or at least their businesses.
I don't support contributions to environmental damage caused by fires. I love the idea that Tesla cars are destroyed. It's a conundrum.
That said, I like this more than I dislike it.
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.
Ooooh, lithium fires
All Tesla dealerships are all directly owned by Tesla, right?
Which cables are readily accessible? Which cables are readily accessible but not easily replaceable?
/me starts handing out "/s" shaped molotov cocktails
I'm surprised this hasn't been happening in the US
