    A waste of resources.

    They all could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.

    Now there’s nothing. Yay.

      If that’s what the money was being used for Teslas wouldn’t be getting torched.

        I’m saying these cars could’ve been reclaimed, sold, and then the money used to help poor people.

          How do you just “reclaim” a vehicle, especially one with all these software and hardware dependencies. I don’t know if a stolen Tesla is worth anything at the moment besides scrap.

          Sure, it’s a waste of resources, but those resources were never going to help anyone so it’s not really wasted.

            How do you just burn a vehicle, especially with all those law enforcement officers ready to persecute you?

      Nice fantasy. But no, that was never going to happen in real life.

      Now there’s nothing.

      Now there’s a clear message in international headlines, and one heard by those trying to profit using Tesla.

        I know, it’s because you people value the wrong things. Doesn’t mean it’s not the proper solution.

          They work by giving all the money to Elon Musk, who needs it less than anyone on the planet except Jeff Besos.

          The point wasn’t to make the showroom work though. It was to make the showroom not work, and fire does that job wonderfully.

            Right. Instead of destroying these cars, we should’ve taken them, sold them, and used the money to help those in need.

            Sorry this needs to be spelled out so many times for so many of you, but it really puts into perspective how “smart” the average internet user has gotten.

        Hey, it’s why things are the way they are.

        We don’t care to reduce the disparity in wealth.
