    That’s a lot of coverage they know they probably shouldn’t cover…

    I’d say that’s a bad day to be near a Tesla dealership.

    I can’t associate the term bombitup call bomber with real-world protests or events, as it’s linked to unethical activities. However, I can summarize the Tesla protest news:
    Tesla protesters are organizing their largest global demonstration on March 29th. They aim to hold 500 protests at Tesla showrooms worldwide. The movement focuses on labor rights and environmental concerns. Activists criticize Tesla’s workplace conditions and union resistance. The protest seeks to pressure Tesla into better corporate practices.

    The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.

      I wouldn’t. That would be covered under the force majeure clause, so no need to pay anything to Tesla, but you can increase premiums by a lot and earn crap loads doing absolutely nothing.

    What does protesting in front of Tesla achieve, it’s a private company, just boycotting their products is enough to hurt them, they need to protest the goverment goons and get that cunt impeached and save democracy

      I mean the problem with your argument is then that there’s nothing we can do, as there isn’t really any pathway towards impeachment right now. As Republicans hold both houses and have pretty clearly shown their loyalty to Trump even with the fact that they’re getting so much backlash they won’t hold town halls anymore. So at this point these kinds of protests are one of the few ways to try and hurt the people in power, as well as to start building community that is needed for any kind of more direct action. It also gives Trump and Elon the opportunity to overreact against protests (like if they decide to follow through on the domestic terrorism thing) which will further galvanize people into action.

      Elon hates it. Elon is a part of our government. Our government is buying Tesla to prop him up. If you just crawled out of a fucking rock there’s your answer.

      Here’s another answer for you after decades of seeing assholes outside of a Planned Parenthood. Fuck you if you think people shouldn’t protest outside of Tesla.

          Any given act of protest isn’t enough to save the country. But multiple acts building on each other will. It’s about continuing to apply pressure, one step at a time, until the fascist regime topples.

            There are a lot of European keyboard warriors that don’t seem to know much about America (other than social media) that keep trying to call out Americans for not “protesting right.”

            It shows that they have no clue about the size of the country or the fact that the shock and awe that started this administration knocked everyone on their heels and only now are we starting to mobilize.

              I try to stay out of American politics because I get that my views are probably skewed being in Europe, but I do see his approval ratings close to and sometimes above 50% on certain areas.

              Without telling you what to do about it, I must admit it scares me to think that there are millions of people agreeing with what he’s doing. It feels like the US is a preassure cooker only just getting started, slowly inching towards a disastrous explosion.

              What are the realistic potential outcomes of everything going on?

                @Bronzie @GoofSchmoofer I get it, from the UK. We’ve had the same uncanny valley experience with Brexit going on for years and the same incompetence from politicians (who STILL pretend a massive majority voted “no deal” rather than 52% voting “mystery box”). If it’s any consolation, after a really dragged-out leaving process where we didn’t see any effects for years, most people now think it was a terrible idea. Hopefully the swift insanity going on in the US means minds will change quicker.

                Not sure. I don’t think anyone really is.

                Part of the reason that there are not big protest yet is that many many people that do disagree with the administration have/had been looking towards the Democratic party to fight back. But that isn’t happening which is adding to the shock and awe of things. Truly Americans don’t really know what to do and without a large organizing presence to help drive a big push back there really isn’t anything being done.

                I do hope that someone steps up soon and starts to organize a push back. Haven’t seen it yet.

                  @GoofSchmoofer @Bronzie I’ve been watching and I think quite a lot has already been happening, it’s just not well covered by the news. A lot of big, furious town halls are just organically happening (Rs are scared to turn up). 50501 and Indivisible have organised a lot of stuff. And some of the Tesla Takedowns have been huge.

      This is such an odd attitude for him as well because oil extraction is expensive and slow. By the time he starts to see any profit from this his term is almost going to be up. But then again I suppose he is an idiot.

        They’re often are signs. I was at school with someone that ended up being a murderer. He was a super weird kid, his father wasn’t around and his mother was an alcoholic so he never really had a great upbringing, schools response to all this was to get him suspended whenever he acted up.

      just interference, but you need a nuke to initiate an EMP effectively. i think some ev cars were susceptible to other forms of interference.

      While I think the legality for such a device is a gray area one strong enough to damage or stop a car could kill or injure anyone around with a cardiac device or other electronic medical equipment.

      Disclaimer - not an electromagnetic scientist wizard

      My understanding is that EMPs are more of a concern for the tiny electronics on computers versus relatively large motors or batteries. So, an electric vehicle is still at risk, but I don’t think it’d be any more at risk than any ICE car that’s all computerized anyways.

        It would probably mess up the controlling computer though.

        Occasionally cars get hit by lightning and that usually causes a lot of errors and glitches and sometimes it totally writes off the vehicle.

        Nuke type EMPs are a threat to very long wires, like miles long ones used to transmit power. The blast causes a ripple in the earths magnetic field that induces current over huge distances. But I don’t know what a more handheld device would affect.

          Electric motors work by inducing a magnetic field with coils of wire, so I’m sure a strong enough EMP would disrupt it temporarily, but I don’t know if it would meaningfully damage anything after the EMP ceased.

            They’re made specifically to deal with high electromagnetic flux, so it definitely wouldn’t hurt them long term. Best bet would be something higher frequency to mess with the computers.
