    Funny house suddenly Teslas have become more valuable as an insurance payout then they are as a car.

    Imagine you buy a car and it gets burned down because the owner of the car company turns out to be a Nazi.

    I would like Tesla to go bankrupt too but cheering on regular peoples property being destroyed is wrong.

      What are you talking about? Those could’ve been sold and the money used to help poor people.

      Now it’s just a waste.

    Oh dear ! Must be those batteries spontaneously combusting. I remember when that used to happen to Samsung phones a while back.

    This is not the solution.

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

    Really puts into perspective how smart you people are for cheering for this. Bunch of knuckle-dragging neanderthals.

      If the car owners sold the car, they’d have cash but no car. And apparently they need a car, else why have it in the first place. So no, the money was never going to feed the poor.

      Now the owners will get compensated by their insurance and can make a smarter choice for the replacement vehicle. Tesla owners get a message, and they only one hurt is the insurer.

      So did you already sold all your possessions to help the poor? That question is just as absurd as your comment.

      There is no “solution” here, vehicles are not meant to be “solutions” by using their diminishing value to get money to help the poor. If they were, you would be saying this to EVERYONE that owns one, not even public transportation should be safe from your rhetoric.

      This is the exact same mindset that makes fElon think that he can just give money to the UN and magically world hunger would be gone. No, simply no.

    Were they really set on fire, or did their batteries just explode? This could very well be another case of the new and improved Pinto spontaneously going off.

    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.
