    A thumbs down on targeting Tesla owners. Not worth your time or personal risk, and it will likely do more harm for the cause than good. Public sentiment is important.

    Sure, they can choose to sell them…but someone has to buy it. Then is the buyer now a target? The number of targets doesn’t decrease until the car goes to the scrapyard.

    EDIT: Another point, don’t ever take unsolicited intel at face value. Verify. This could easily be a bad actor trying to stoke random violence.

      Yeah, not everyone is in a position to just sell their car at a loss and get a new one. Cybertrucks are a different story, but keying someone’s Model 3 is probably not going to be super helpful to anyone.

      Yeah, I agree. A lot of people bought them because they thought it was a good electric car, and cars are a fucking lot of money. Just because you can afford a Tesla doesn’t mean you can afford to just replace your car that has now depreciated massively in value.

      True, but all of the other things they track are more sensible.
