Thanks for the story! I know we’re just strangers on the internet, but I think it is genuinely helpful for me to be able to say “I’ve talked to people who sold, here’s what it was like for them.” At the #TeslaTakedown events, we get a •lot• of supportive honks from people in Teslas, and more than one has expressed a desire to ditch the thing but is worried about money, logistics, etc.

I traded my 2018 Tesla Model 3 #Swasticar in last week for a Hyundai Kona Electric, because #TeslaTakedown  With many people moving on from Tesla to #NonTeslaEVs, I kind of expected there to be a market for appropriate #licenseplateframes, but I haven't seen any for sale.

If you have seen any for sale, let me know. There's also a poll below with ideas I've had for a custom plate frame, in the order I thought of them. Let me know which one you prefer, or suggest more ideas in a reply. Of these I'm leaning towards the second one:

"Protestors are standing outside Tesla lots and waving anti-Musk signs. Celebrities and influencers are going viral with videos announcing the sell-off of their Musk-branded EV. People are throwing molotov cocktails at Teslas, spray painting them with swastikas, stealing their tires, and setting them on fire.

[...]

As the news, and insurance claims, pile up, insurers are driving up rates."

Elon Musk is trying to make our air traffic control system "dependent” on him by integrating his equipment, which has not gone through security and risk-management review.

FIRE ELON MUSK!

And if you have time this afternoon (short notice!) there's a protest at the Portland Tesla dealership on Macadam Avenue from 3:45 – 5:15 pm

mobilize.us/mobilize/event/760

Some details:

"Meet us at Old Spaghetti Factory at 3:45 pm to walk over as a group or meet us at Tesla at 4 pm. We'll be there during rush hour for prime visibility, ending at around 5:15"

"Bring LARGE signs and noise makers. Chairs welcome if you'd like/need to sit"

MobilizeMusk or Us: Peaceful Protest in front of PDX Tesla- Week 4! · MobilizeDElon Musk is stealing our democracy, our data, & our money. Musk and his lawless engineers have gained access to Treasury, Health & Human Services, OPM, Dept of Education...More every day! With Trump's POWER GRAB, they and their crony oligarchs are infiltrating our government to increase their power and their wealth by 4 trillion dollars- STEALING OUR MONEY. We must stand united to Stop Trump - Musk and DOGE. Tesla is the closest thing we have in Portland to Elon, so let us peacefully protest in the right of way/sidewalk in front of the Portland dealership to increase visibility of this issue. Right on Macadam at rush hour! If we get enough people, lets line both sides of the street for maximum visibility. Meet us at Old Spaghetti Factory at 3:45pm to walk over as a group or meet us at Tesla at 4pm. We'll be there during rush hour for prime visibility, ending at around 5:15. Parking is $5/hr at the OSP or on street parking for $2.50/hr. Highly recommend taking public transportation or carpooling- parking will be tight Bring LARGE signs and noise makers. Chairs welcome if you'd like/need to sit.

“Also, unlike Goya beans, Teslas don’t come cheap. The fact that Trump thinks hawking them on TV will solve the company’s woes suggests that he is governing for the kind of people who, amid a stock market in free fall, can casually afford to spend anywhere from $32,000 to $125,000 on a new car.”
