The urge to fuck up a Tesla dealership is real and understandable, but it's not smart.
If you make a molotov cocktail and throw it at a Cybertruck, you're going to have the ATF up your ass. The feds consider a molotov cocktail a regulated explosive device.
There's a case in South Carolina, one in Oregon and another in Colorado. People are trashing Tesla dealerships, which is certainly understandable because Musk is a fucking prick.
But you have to weigh the risk versus reward. The risk is that you go to prison for years - federal prison. The reward is that some Teslas got torched and the dealership has to file an insurance claim.
There is no scenario in which shooting up a Tesla dealership or lighting a Cybertruck on fire changes anything. The only thing that changes is that the perpetrators are looking at years in prison on federal gun charges. And if Trump has his way ... terrorism charges.
So rather than throwing molotov cocktails, make a sign and demonstrate outside a Tesla dealership. Shame people who drive Teslas.
The suspect has no prior record. Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms are charging the defendant with federal firearm charges for allegedly deploying molotov cocktails at Tesla dealership
If the cops aren't lying, this is a good example for what not to do if you don't want to get arrested.
