Despite the piece of shit Musk is, this is still someone's car. I don't know them personally or how they feel about the situation. Embarrassed, hopefully. I'd rather offer them the "bought this before I knew he was crazy" sticker. The antifascist energy should be directed somewhere other than someone's private vehicle. But where...
I bought a Tesla (not a cybertruck, gross) awhile back when fElon was in his "crazy but not obviously supporting Trump or a Nazi" phase. Now we're leaving the US because of his and Trump's bullshit, but we still need a car in the meantime. Moving is going to be so fucking expensive that we can't justify selling it, buying another car, then selling that car, so I'm just driving it in shame and dreading being harassed over it.
may I kindly suggest just putting a piece of electrical tape over the T insignia or perhaps an easily removable vinyl sticker indicating you don't support Nazis?
it's not your fault your car was made by a company owned by a Nazi... but people are understandably pretty fucking upset to have a Nazi running the country. caveat emptor.

Of course you may, but it's already done! I have the infamous "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy" sticker. The car just feels tainted now.
Just commented somewhere else about this. I’m driving a loaner Tesla right now and already got yelled at for it, at a supercharger, one day in.
I’d really like to not have a target on my back for the next week or so just because of the car I was provided with.
Totally fine with protesting, or keeping it at Tesla dealerships though. Make them know how you feel, but don’t vandalize someone else’s shit. You don’t know what the driver’s situation is or if it will even have the intended effect.
I was originally going to get something that wasn’t a Tesla, but didn’t make it out of the lot due to a problem with the tire. I asked for something else but the Tesla was what they had for me.
Also I fail to see how getting a loaner Tesla that has already been purchased makes Elon money.
I get the point you’re trying to make but once again, you don’t know other people’s situation.
Also FYI these swasticars have cameras all over them. Keep in mind before you decide to vandalize one.
