Tesla Takedown Event – Saturday, March 15 – Grand Rapids, MI

[Thunderstrike44]

If its a peaceful protest, they can have at it. I strongly object to the stupidity and Property destruction. I am sorry for these people who are that misinformed and think destroying everything is a way to get your way. It should be a quick trip to jail for those kind of people. Someone need to figure out how to make a taser work through the body on the CT, We can call it Cyber Stunner! Now if we just had stunning phaser....Huh?

Have you seen videos of these people? They’re unhinged.

Unhinged is marching with tiki torches and chanting anti semitic slogans. No one who protests is "hinged." Those who take the time to go protest are passionate about their beliefs, and there will no doubt be people in such a gathering who take things too far. Peaceful protest is still legal in this country. I question its effectiveness in most instances but I don't feel passionate enough about this one to counter protest.

I would be careful around these mentally ill people. The amount of violence and destruction they have been causing is sadly far outside the realm of civil society. No matter your political background attacking a company's products because the CEO has a different political view than you is a pretty low event in america. We are losing our understand of civility and dignity. Violence is never the answer.

There is one possible upside to all this. I am going to buy a ton of tesla stock if it gets much lower and if tesla has to sell desperately maybe replace my model Y. Thankfully most people in America are not partisan crazies who cancel Netflix when Obama gets a show or attack Teslas when its CEO works in politics. Most people are tolerant of disagreement. It's just the crazies....are going to ruin alot if they continue.

If these protestors don't like Elon and what he is doing with DOGE why aren't they protesting at their state capital and asking their representatives to take action to remove Elon or implement oversight or any of the other things Congress could do? I don't think anyone at the local Tesla dealer can change what Elon is doing in D.C.

There's a Tesla Takedown event scheduled for 12pm - 2pm at the Tesla Showroom in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It's being run by Mary Sue Stegehuse, of East Grand Rapids, MI. You can read about the Tesla Takedown details here. There are events scheduled across the country:

Curious if any fellow Cybertruck owners in West Michigan want to drive to Grand Rapids to show our support for Elon Musk / Tesla either at the Grand Rapids dealership? Political affiliation does not matter - I just want to show support for the best car company on the planet, maker of the best vehicle on the planet.

I drove past the one in Lynnwood WA last week and honked. At first the crowd of paid protesters was confused, then they saw me waving at them. LOL

It’s worth the trip just to enjoy driving the best truck on the road!

There's a nutjob on Quora that asked how to deorbit Starlink satellites. As far as he's concerned, destroying anything Musk is associated with is justified because Musk is going to take away all his VA and Social Security benefits (not!). Guy was off his meds or else just another provocateur. If he wants to rave, whatever. If he crosses the line, he should be in jail or a straitjacket.

They are trying to scare the public. They are trying to scare people from even considering looking at a Tesla. They are trying to scare people from working at Tesla.

They are not trying to send a message to Government.

Make no mistake, this is a psychological warfare attack.

Protesting at State buildings and where decisions get made might make the news but hardly affects daily activities for the general public.

You can explain here or not, I’m not googling and doing research for a comment you made. Others might be interested too, on why we would paint our trucks white for a protest.
