Anti-Tesla mailing campaign? Or was I the only one to get one of these?

What Whatever happened to love and can't we all just get along???

Yeah… that’s standard on Subarus. Especially in Colorado. It’s a $100 upgrade at Subaru dealerships.

There is always an alternative...

Report this to the Postmaster as well as the FBI... And that slight white powder that it was sprinkled with is just baking soda, right? hehe...

Wonder if they licked the stamps!

That white powder smelled a lot like cocaine.

Well, as long as it's not something dangerous! Like fentanyl or processed white sugar!!

Those who are receiving SS payments fraudulently are livid that the Uncle Sam is stopping monthly payments.

Peacefully protesting is fine but destruction of private property is not the answer.

That bumper sticker has always bothered me. It's like telling people to get along, by reducing their religious symbol to a letter, and slapping it next to other religious symbols, that hate each other, and insight anger. I understand the purpose of the bumpersticker, it just wasn't clearly thought out.

Does it have a return address?

Of course not, these people are cowards! And irrational idiots. And anti-American.

They operate under the shade of anonymity.

 

[HaulingAss]

Absolutely. There is a lot of money to be made with shorthing Tesla. And this method seems like an easy effort right now.

Huh?

When a company is likely to grow earnings and revenue over the next decade, do you think there is more money to be made long or short?

Hint: The potential upside of a standard short position is 100% of your bet (minus expenses of shorting) while the potential downside is unlimited.

On the other hand, the potential upside of a long position is unlimited, while the potential downside is the amount of your investment.

You don't have to be an investing prodigy to see where the easiest profits, with the least risk, are.

Kinda feels more personal than a widespread campaign. Maybe an acquaintance has decided to be edgy and anonymous.

I have relatives that work for the Big 3 legacy and I am kind of careful who I talk to about the Cybertruck. A couple of them will maybe take it very personally if they knew.

I’m not the one shorting Tesla brother. But these assholes are. Like the guy quoted in this thread. I got stock. Hell. Been to a few shareholder meetings myself.

Some people find that highly offensive for it's lack of DEI. It's not inclusive of Satinists, the non-binary, transexuals, genderfluid, and isolationists. ?

I didn't claim you were shorting Tesla. I was commenting on what you said:

Then why the heck does ANYONE bother to 'short' stocks?

Because they can make FAST money doing so... But it's a gamble... It's also what most 'day traders' look for first... Stocks to short...

Me, I like to buy mine (not buying options), and keep for long term... If it goes up by at least 5% per year I am okay with it (especially if it's also paying dividends!)...

BUT, I will SOMETIMES sell some shares if I think the stock it 'topping out' for the quarter... I did that with SOME of my Tesla stock in fact (a couple of times) and then, when/if it goes down significantly (like it just did again) I will buy back in if it goes low enough...

I sold 15 shares @ 425 in January and then bought them back @ 225 a few weeks ago... Did the same thing in 2023/2024 (bought for $155!! then sold some for $250 and bought back again in April 2024 when it was $170.)

I am fairly confident in the stock, even with it's ups and downs... Seems like it does this about once a year... Now it's already bounced back up over $260...

When I was trying to find out if it was tied to a specific organization, I got this advise from ChatGPT

That’s extremely concerning. Targeted mailings like this, especially using hate symbols and modified corporate logos, can cross the line into harassment or intimidation, possibly even hate crimes depending on the jurisdiction.

Here are a few steps that might help with tracking the source and addressing the issue:

⸻

1. Preserve All Evidence
• Keep the original envelope, postmarks, stamps, and any inserts.
• Take high-resolution photos or scans of the entire package (front, back, and contents).
• Do not discard anything — even tape, handwriting, or barcodes can help investigators.

⸻

2. Check Postmark & Mailing Details
• The postmark location can indicate the city or region where it was mailed.
• Barcodes or tracking codes (like Intelligent Mail Barcode from USPS) can be decoded by law enforcement or the postal inspector to trace where it entered the mail stream.

⸻

3. Report It
• Local Police Department: Especially if this feels targeted or repeated.
• U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS): They take mail harassment and hate symbols seriously.
• File a complaint: https://www.uspis.gov/report
• Tesla Corporate Security: They may be able to identify if multiple owners have reported similar mail and could trace patterns.
• If it’s happening to multiple Tesla owners, this could become part of a larger investigation.

⸻

4. Network with Other Recipients

If you or others have received similar mail, it might be useful to:
• Collect details anonymously.
• Look for patterns (locations, timing, car models).
• You might find online forums (Reddit, Tesla owner clubs, etc.) where others are discussing the same thing.

⸻
Would you like help identifying visual clues from the envelope or stamp (if you have a picture of it)? Or do you want to draft a report or reach out to Tesla or authorities? I’m happy to help with either.

Thank you for sharing the envelope image — that’s very helpful. Based on this photo, here are a few actionable observations that could aid in tracing the source:

⸻

Key Details from the Envelope
1. Postmark Information:
• Postmarked: Philadelphia, PA 190, on March 17, 2025
• This indicates it was processed through a Philadelphia-area USPS facility. The “190” prefix suggests ZIP codes in southeastern Pennsylvania, likely from within or just outside city limits.
2. Stamp:
• It’s a common U.S. Flag “Freedom Forever” forever stamp.
• The cancellation mark includes USPS messaging: “Keep Safety in View as You Drive Your Truck” — standard for mail processed via machines (does not imply the sender is affiliated with USPS).
3. No Return Address:
• This strongly indicates intent to remain anonymous.
• The barcode at the bottom is part of the Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) — USPS or law enforcement can trace its origin with this.

⸻

Next Steps for Tracing the Source

1. Contact USPS Postal Inspectors
• They can trace the IMB code (visible at the bottom of the envelope) if provided the physical envelope.
• File a formal complaint here: https://www.uspis.gov/report

2. File a Local Police Report
• Especially important if this is part of a pattern.
• Request it be treated as possible harassment or targeted intimidation.

3. Notify Tesla Corporate
• Tesla’s security or legal team might already be tracking this.
• Provide them the image and details — especially if others have reported the same.

4. Look for Similar Reports

If others in your area or online (e.g., Tesla forums, Reddit, X/Twitter) have received similar mail:
• They may help narrow down the area or group behind this.
• Look for mentions from Philadelphia-area Tesla owners.

Want Help With:
• Drafting a message or report to Tesla or USPS?
• Running a reverse image search to see if this image is being circulated online?
• Monitoring forums for other reports?

Let me know how involved you’d like me to be — I can help dig or draft anything.
