    1. By that logic we should be attacking Fords because Henry Ford was a Nazi. Maybe we should be burning 3M and Bayer products in the store?

    2. Most existing Tesla owners are left-leaning and purchased the car in good faith before Elon was a public Nazi figure.

    3. It’s not always easy to just sell your car. People are locked into financing contracts and have perhaps shelled out money for charging solutions at their home.

    Your worldview is childish and reductive. Grow up and come back later.

      Is Henry Ford, right now, at this moment, a Nazi?

      Maybe we should be burning 3M and Bayer products in the store?

      Is 3M and Bayer today, at this moment, supporting Nazis?

      Most existing Tesla owners are left-leaning and purchased the car in good faith before Elon was a public Nazi figure.

      Ok, we’re not talking about the past right now. We’re talking about the current situation. If they are left-leaning, as you imply, they understand the need to NOT display actively in use Nazi symbols and paraphernalia.

      It’s not always easy to just sell your car. People are locked into financing contracts and have perhaps shelled out money for charging solutions at their home.

      Then they can park it, cover it with a tarp, and use public transportation. Or, ride bike. Or, use rideshare.

      Your worldview is childish and reductive. Grow up and come back later.

      No, it’s principled: You NEVER show support for nazis, regardless of how inconvenient it is for you.

        So in other words, you’ll remain childish and reductive. That would have been much shorter than reading your drivel.

          It’s far more childish to be unable to stick to principles. Children will punch another child for a cookie… adults know not to, and ones that punch people for cookies are held in contempt by society.

          Your stance would be the former: do whatever is easy.

            The other commentator is right. Its easy to tell someone “just sell your car and walk” or whatever when you are not directly affected by the change you are asking someone else to make. Take a second and think of all the injustices in the world YOU are indirectly, involuntarily complicit in and what it might mean to be targeted for that reason. It is for this we offer charity to others, and therein is a clear line between wearing a nazi pin as a symbol and driving a Tesla, literally an appliance.
