Hey MSP! There are #TeslaTakedown events •today• (EDIT: and every Saturday) in Golden Valley and Maplewood, 11am until ???. I’m going to try to juggle family stuff to be there! Maybe you too?
Events are happening across the country. Details & search here:
I got there on the late end, but apparently it peaked close to 100 people.
Folks are apparently coming back every Saturday. MSP folks, plan ahead! Maybe I’ll see you there! Link in the prev post.
Late arrivals are fine, even welcome! Seems like the main crowd was there 11-12:30ish, but some folks were staying until almost 2:00.
We got a •lot• of friendly honks and waves — including from many people in Teslas!
Hs anybody put together a resource on how to break a Tesla lease? It seems like there’s a lot of people who’d like to ditch the damn things, but don’t know where to start. A practical guide could be •really• effective.
@inthehands stop paying for it and launch it back to the dealership with a trebuchet?
@burnitdown
For people with infinite money, this is a good option
@inthehands who tf owns a Tesla? not people who don't have money!
@burnitdown
This is probably just flippant humor on your part (?), but it's a good question. And it has an answer:
“Having money,” even a doctor-and-lawyer money, does not mean having financial flexibility. There are lots of people who can afford to pay a Tesla lease but not afford to break one. They’re the people we want to reach.
if you can afford to pay a Tesla lease, you're not poor, and you have plenty of money. that was a choice. those people chose to buy an expensive car. no one made them do it.
no, i'm not being flippant. the petit bourgeoisie are not our allies.
