Last week 404 Media reported a website called ‘Dogequest’ was doxing Tesla owners. The site administrators appear to have launched a clone of the interactive map on the dark web too.
This manhunt for Tesla owners is wild. The overwhelming majority of these cars will have been bought way before everything went to shit.
You really need to get your head out of your own ass if you think this is the route to get people to join your cause.
Not everybody is in a position to arbitrairily sell their car and donate proceeds to charity like these Hollywood stars.
If the car is even yours to begin with and not a lease or company car.
Unfortunately due to how insurance works, damaging Teslas is yet another way to raise premiums.
Also, this isn’t about joining a cause anymore. This is about the only method of retaliation left. I assume most who could afford a Tesla (which was always on the higher priced side of things) are also those who could have by now afforded to do a trade in for basically any other car for months by now.
If I myself somehow still had a Tesla, I’d get rid of it for a used car if I had to. If I could afford it though, I’d pay for a punk band to create a song against Elon and Trump, and shoot a music video of said punk band and friends destroying the Tesla in slow mo and lighting it on fire, ending it with the car blowing up.
Actually, how about you find poor people who own a Tesla and reach out to them. I’ll crowdfund for them so we can make this music video happen, and the proceeds will go for them to buy a new car. Find me more than one and I can do different music videos - maybe dubstep or electronica while this guy shoots his plasma cannon at it. Or Classical music or an orchestra as we destroy a car with icicles and rust for example.
I’m sorry, do you genuinely think that burning some random guy’s car is actual retaliation?
When that car has become a symbol, definitely. The car being burnt isn’t random after all.
Otherwise your statement has the same energy as saying we shouldn’t burn some random guy’s work uniform. It omits that this is the uniform:
You really underestimate how many people buy above their means for cars.
As far as I’ve seen, most Teslas being scorched are dealership ones, not personal ones. But even if it were a personal one, isn’t insurance mandatory in the USA? Probably would get a bigger payout if someone did torch it rather than trading in at a dealership. And would definitely probably get more out of it than if it were just keyed and the tires were punctured. Bonus, one less swatsicar in circulation.
Musk called a guy a pedo because he was angry they didn’t use his solution to save kids that would have died if they had waited for him. That was in 2018. Wanna bet most Tesla on the road were sold after that happened?
Musk was shit way before the current events, people still supported him financially.
You are arbitrarily deciding a line where people should have stopped buying his cars to prove your point in the present.
But nobody hunted down teslas after the pedo remark? So evidently people disagree with your line.
I’m not sure what you expect people to do with this.
If CEO’s being pricks is such a valid reason to drop whole companies Amazon also shouldn’t exist.
Instead Amazon is worth more then a laundry list of western economies.
I mean… No, Amazon shouldn’t exist? What’s the point you’re trying to make here?
I’m just pointing out that there’s a shit ton of people that just decided to ignore the fact that Musk is a moron that has no business managing a multinational company and none of them deserve compassion now that they suddenly realize that maybe they shouldn’t have bought a car from him.
People might not have had enough principles to care about the pedo remark, it doesn’t make them right or good people. People purchase plenty of shit from evil companies, does it means what the companies do isn’t evil? No. It means people are idiots.
i hope your not that naive, the point is to send a message, and TESLA is clearly suffering from the falling sales and the continuing boycotting and vandalism is working. Also the fact that teslas in general have defect issues anyways.
Im not saying to not boycott Tesla.
Im saying Tesla isn’t hurt by damaging or destoying someones private property.
But most or all. You don’t need to freaking dox it’s owners to key or even entirely destroy a Tesla…
People don’t need to get hurt or worse over their car. I don’t care what justification you make up in your head for it that is just wrong on all levels.
That’s not how I read this (excerpt from article):
Dogequest,’ the recently launched website which is doxing some Tesla owners and members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and putting their personal information on a searchable map
That’s BS.
But to entertain this, straight from their page source:
DOGEQUEST is the ultimate hub for fans of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to map and explore DOGE related landmarks. We also connect Tesla Motors owners with each other, using our AI-driven networking features.
Cause? What cause? They finally found their version of Trans people to target.
Let’s be completely honest here. We know right hates LGBT because they can’t be openly racist anymore. People NEED to hate and fight something. They’ll use anyone and anything as the target to lash out.
Now we have people target Tesla because Musk is unreachable… Really? That’s the avenue you want down? World’s easiest target and you pick one thing he’s associated that’s good and will effect normal people? Cool. Checks out. You can’t put face on starlink, spacex or twitter anymore apparently.
It’s stupid and while so far removed from anti LGBT the other groups were targeting, this isn’t a race to the bottom.
have you actually seen his sales, and stocks, hes definitely negative impacted by it, you should really go read some news. Also please correctly refer them as LGBTQ+ people, when you use the former definition you are doing it on purpose almost seemingly out of the same way right wingers say.

not Cybertrucks though. We should focus on Cybertrucks.

It is some random man’s car still. I didn’t say it was a random car. And likely someone who hates trump too, since they’re driving electric
Thw car wasn’t a symbol when they bought it
One less electric car. You want to actively destroy the environment to own the conservatives. Not passively. Actively.
Also no, coverage for your own car is mandatory, what?
It’s working tho. Have you seen how butthurt Elon and Donald are? Tesla stocks going down?
Musk called a guy a pedo because he was angry they didn’t use his solution to save kids that would have died if they had waited for him. That was in 2018. Wanna bet most Tesla on the road were sold after that happened?

It’s expensive to ship anything to my state (alaska) so amazon is pretty much the only choice.
I mean… No, Amazon shouldn’t exist? What’s the point you’re trying to make here?
I’m just pointing out that there’s a shit ton of people that just decided to ignore the fact that Musk is a moron that has no business managing a multinational company and none of them deserve compassion now that they suddenly realize that maybe they shouldn’t have bought a car from him.
I love how you’re just ignoring the meat of my reply…
Acknowledge Polerviking’s meat!
Well it is fairly majestic if I do say so myself.
People might not have had enough principles to care about the pedo remark, it doesn’t make them right or good people. People purchase plenty of shit from evil companies, does it means what the companies do isn’t evil? No. It means people are idiots.
So you agree there’s no reason to be doxxing them.
I was replying to the “people bought these cars before Musk became an idiot” part only.

i hope your not that naive, the point is to send a message, and TESLA is clearly suffering from the falling sales and the continuing boycotting and vandalism is working. Also the fact that teslas in general have defect issues anyways.

People don’t need to get hurt or worse over their car. I don’t care what justification you make up in your head for it that is just wrong on all levels.
But, they are!
Insurance premiums going up for Teslas make it more likely people will skip buying them.
The share price is down 50% YTD
The interesting thing is that just talking about damage done to Teslas can harm the share price even further.
You talk about people getting hurt. I hope only the car is being damaged.
You need to look at my reply in the context of the news I’m replying to.
This website is for publishing name and address info of people.
The most innocent thing that can reasonably come from that sort of activism are threats of which you can only hope are just that.
The only people who work for DOGE are named, not Tesla owners.
That’s not how I read this (excerpt from article):
Journalism is unreliable in the 21st century. You have to go to primary sources

That’s BS. But to entertain this, straight from their page source:
Except they are.
Any cases of people being hurt yet? Or are you just making shit up?
I’ve never seen a Tesla at a used lot. Before this weekend, when I saw two

Is it stupid if it works?
Also, I didn’t know people were born Tesla owners. Interesting stuff.
