Not just tariffs. They also apparently bought a bunch of teslas, parked them in empty parking lots, any tried to collect the rebates....

Tesla better hope the vandals behind recent attacks on its cars and showrooms don’t watch the news, because hundreds of Model 3s and Model Ys parked up together sounds like a dream come true for protestors. We’ve asked Tesla—who famously disbanded its press team in the US—about the lots full of cars, but so far, we haven’t received a response.

Lol at the author basically saying "anyone wanna burn this shit down?"

You would think there would be more infighting between musk and trump since this is just literally musk trying to get federal dollars, but I guess that was the point all along

You would think you might have noticed in the title that it says Canada but I guess you don't even need to read a headline to form an opinion anymore.

Remember the fire triangle (fuel, heat, oxygen)? Well, now it's the fire tetrahedron: Fuel, heat, oxygen, chemical reaction. Fun fact: lithium-ion batteries produce all four if they reach a shockingly low temperature (lower than the boiling point of water ;)

That's why the coroner's report for the people that died in teslas says "sous vide'ed to death (low temperature)"

Paywall. Anything else that’s good to know? Are these rebates paid to customers or more to the business?

paranoid@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1y (1 reply)

There is another comment with a link to the non-paywalled article
