    What is the point of doxing people for owning a Tesla? A lot of people bought their tesla way before Musk went full nazi.

    Maybe we should focus on the person doing something wrong, which is Elon Musk.

      Because too many people are frothing at the mouth for violence and don’t have enough sense to realize that very obvious/important point.

      Edit: In before “well they should just sell it then!!!1!”

      1. I’d imagine trade-in values for those right now are going to be pretty low.
      2. Not everyone can afford to do that, especially with car prices likely to rise due to tariffs.
      3. Interest rates aren’t great if they have to finance the replacement car
      4. Everyone’s life situation is different. An oversimplified “just do [blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you’re a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized” isn’t practical.
      5. Don’t fuck with people’s property.

        This right here. I agree that such people advocating these positions must be bad actors, but in case there are real people who think they alone hold the moral bar that everyone must clear: “Go fuck yourself.” Everyone has to start somewhere, and alienating those that are still learning is not helping.

          Guarantee it. Thought my block/ban button would get a break after the election was over, but looks like election season was just getting it warmed up.

      I know two people who own Teslas and neither of their places is on the map. I suspect (and it is only a suspicion) that the map may only list cyber truck owners? Anyone know any Tesla/cyber truck owners they can check?

        None of the people I know who own Teslas (mix of pre-owned and bought new) are on here, but by poking around I did find a random person with a normal Tesla parked out front on Google street view, so it’s not just cybertrucks.

        I also sought out my partner’s neighbor who has a cybertruck in the driveway every time I’m there, and that wasn’t on there, so I have no idea where dogequest might be sourcing this info.

    I hope people don’t target allies. Brand loyalty and brand avoidance are just ways of convincing people that ethical consumption is the way to affect change. If that was true, America would be the number one recycler in the world, with the cleanest air and cleanest rivers. Letting people decide what is best with their wallets is a joke. Force these corporations to heel, we do not need to make good choices with our money, we need to use government agencies to remove all the terrible options.

      I don’t think that’s the intention. Maybe people will think twice about buying a car that might get vandalized because the CEO is a literal Nazi.

      Maybe shareholders will take action to remove the Nazi CEO if they know their sales are shit because of him and at least partially because people are reticent to buy their product because it might get vandalized.

    The site seems to be down/ gone and didn’t look like it had every bit of data from what I have read
