They're very portable, so you can carry them around with you in case you come up with an idea of something to write on your Tesla while you're out and about. They stick to the surface quite well and don't wash off in the rain.
(Please try not to succumb to the temptation to write "F**k off Nazi Scum" or similar on somebody else's though like other people are suggesting. That might encourage people not to buy Teslas, which is a shame, because they're great American cars.)
What happened to "See a Nazi punch a Nazi"? Why are we playing coy?
See a Tesla, vandalize a Tesla.
Anyone driving one is at best Nazi adjacent and need to learn a lesson on why they shouldn't be.
Edit:
It is actually disturbing how many people here are okay with supporting a Nazi. Every one of you needs to get your head right.
Fucking disgraceful.
While I think this is a fair opinion for all recent swastikars, I know several people who bought a Tesla a decade ago when it still seemed like a positive. They all abhor Musk but are not in a financial position to trade in their paid-off cars for anything else.
I have only verified that the paint markers work on Cybertrucks, not older models of Tesla.
I think I read somewhere that brake fluid is a fairly reliable means of stripping paint. A design or message of some type might emerge from a judicious application of such liquid.
Telling random people to “just buy another car” is such an elitist, out of touch take. Also, who’s supposed to buy those used Teslas? If nobody wants to buy them, nobody can sell them.
I hadn't considered that one before
Someone who bought a Tesla before, who is trying to sell it now, may have to sell it to someone who supports Musk. At a loss at that
Sell their houses to who Ben? FUCKING AQUAMAN!?
Oh he's going further. He's saying no one even needs a car.
Pure, privileged delusion.
They made a stupid mistake ten years ago when they bought a car from a conman sex pest pedo-guy.
Edit: I assume every downvote is some poor fool who fell for Elon, and I'm sorry for you :'(
Yes because Lemmy is so full of people praising Elon. Couldn't be because you're acting like an ass.
(a) There were far fewer detractors of Musk 10 years ago. I thought he was pretty cool for trying to make spaceships and electric cars. Yes of course there were plenty of signs, and I should have noticed them. Besides that, one could also be forgiven for not thinking he was literally a fascist back then.
(b) What major company isn't headed by someone on the asshole spectrum somewhere? There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but we still need cars since we ripped up all our train tracks.
No, Musk was a leftist 10 years ago. I saw posts on Twitter of him defending LGBT. He completely went crazy maybe 5-6 years back and went full MAGA. I suspect it was his girlfriend of 4 years dumping him.
Mush was never a fucking "leftist." He was born extremely wealthy to a family that owned an emerald mine. He's done nothing but exploit people his entire life.

Why are you saying that it is okay to support Nazis if it is not financially feasible to do otherwise?
It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work
It means we live in a car centric society and trading in their car wouldn’t allow them to have a reliable daily with which they can go to work
Or in other, more precise words:
"It is okay to support Nazis as long as you believe you require their products or services"
What a terrible thing to say.
Don't be a prick. People have to take care of themselves.
That said if your tesla is vandalized- but not damaged - then oh fucking well, get over it.
Are you going to donate a reliably daily to those who can’t afford a reliable daily to get by after they get rid of this Tesla?
In a car centric society, a reliable car is needed to get to work so you can have income to pay your bills and put food on the table.
If you’re willing to lose your job and income to feed yourself over a car, especially one bought before Musk stopped hiding his shittiness, go ahead.
It’s easy to ask others to sacrifice for your cause, it’s another to ask others when you don’t know anything about their life.
Don’t put words in my mouth
A car that was bought and paid for years ago is not supporting someone who had only really gone off the rails in recent years. Drive it or not, Tesla has already been paid. I guess you could argue parts or charging might continue to support Tesla, but that's marginal. Most people charge at home, and parts often come from wrecked cars as well.
If it's bought and paid for, how does it support Nazis?
How does trashing a working vehicle fight Nazis?
Fuck off dude
How are you even accessing Lemmy from your completely sustainable hut in the wilderness?
Or are you saying it's okay to support the destruction of the planet as long as you require infrastructure?
If they’ve already bought the car Elon already has their money. Buying another car because we now know what a piece of shit Elon is, doesn’t change that.
If they bought a cyber truck they are pretty much guaranteed to be a dickhead.
Don't be weird
It is actually disturbing how many people here are okay with supporting a Nazi.
There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. You're just masturbating in public here.
You people are lost. It's only a matter of time before one of you gets hurt or killed because you're defacing private property.
You have absolutely no clue what their political beliefs are simply from the car they own. Half the Tesla's I see every day during my commute have "anti Elon Tesla club" stickers on them. Some have stickers that say "I bought this before he lost his mind" or some other variation.
I can guarantee you there are Tesla drivers out there right now that have no love for Elon but don't have any identifiable stuff plastered all over their car. By vandalizing their car you're just more likely to turn those people against you.
I don't drive a Tesla and I think Elon is a huge twat, but I think your plans on vandalizing random peoples stuff who you have no idea about is ludicrously insane behavior.
You seem fun. Perhaps you missed this in the title:
Not random Teslas.
If you carry a piece of grit 120 and a dual barrel tube of clear epoxy, you can make your Tesla really stand out for a long time.
If you have epoxy left over you can fix your squeaky doors by applying as much glue as you have along the door. That way the door will stop squeaking on account of it not being used as much.
Jeez, what did you harass innocent Russian US citizens when Ukraine was invaded too?
Small mind, small dick energy. I'm not even a Tesla owner, if you do this you're a straight up loser. If you really care, get a gun and find your real target
American legislature and culture might give off this notion, but cars aren't actually citizens.
While I get where you are coming from, the flawed logic is that cybertruck owners chose to support elon with their purchase well after he had shown his true colours (though tbf it has only gotten worse since then)
So comparing that to people whose only support of Russia is the fact they were born there (which is out of their control obviously) is not exactly fair
Absurd comparison
Well, if you're going to make a permanent mod to your Tesla, make sure to avoid cutting any of the numerous cameras that record what you're doing all the time.
If you're going to buy an angle grinder, and you value your eyes and hands, at the very least choose a brand that isn't six random capital letters.
Honestly just a sheet of coarse grit sandpaper would do the trick. Would take all of about three seconds to scratch a big ol swastika on the back of a swasticar.
...it's like the automotive version of carving a swastika onto the foreheads of the Nazis in Inglorious Basterds, lol.
