Sorry to hear about your car.

The CyberTruck may be divisive in some states; I'm thinking of my home state of California. We have our fair share of coal rollers and you can't touch my medium/heavy duty truck types. California has, in fact, touched their diesel trucks and is continuing to pursue emission restrictions to OHV/Class2-8 (with incentives on the non-polluting side). I will be angry though not surprised if someone decides to vandalize my CT.

Regarding Prius, catalytic converter theft is common here. I don't know if Toyota changed the way they are exposed in later years but we don't leave our 2009 out overnight. There are aftermarket weld kits though thankfully it hasn't come to that.

Here's a crew doing it in 2 minutes so even a security guard probably wouldn't be sufficient for a brazen crew.

Speaking of sabotage:

Tesla Showroom In Berlin Vandalized By Unknown People

What could have prompted them to break the Tesla location’s windows, doors and damage one vehicle on display inside?
While Tesla certainly has plenty of haters, they don’t necessarily resort to physical violence in an attempt to get their anti-Tesla message across. Well, this incident in Berlin is one of those fairly rare instances when people who hate Tesla do actual damage; it took place last Sunday and it targeted a Tesla showroom located on one of Berlin’s most famous avenues, the Kurfürstendamm.
According to the police report quoted by t-online.de, the group of still unidentified people broke doors and windows and did damage to a display vehicle that was parked inside. Police are still investigating and so far have not announced the identification of any perpetrators.


The attack was so fierce that damage was also done to two adjacent businesses, according to the source article. It is not known why the showroom was targeted, but it could have something to do with tensions that arose when Tesla announced it was going to build a factory close to Berlin and in order to build it it had to clearcut a large area of forest in order to do so.

Hard to understand the Ecoterrorism on a company working to positively change the planet; one that is planting more trees than they are taking out with the construction of their new factory.

Why do they call if 'forest' without the context that it's a monoculture?

Yes, this is 'deforestation' but so is any green field construction, trees or no.

Because they can’t see the monoculture through the trees? ?Just guessing.
