    What do you call it when half the Teslas in a showroom are on fire?

    A good start.

      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.

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

        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.
