    What kinds of vandalism are most costly to repair, without endangering the lives of drivers, passengers and people nearby? I want to see if those are mentioned in future news coverage.

      I wouldn’t go after individual Tesla owners. It wasn’t always like this. They adopted the earliest and cheapest (in the US) EV. I won’t buy one now, but I would have three years ago.

      I understand the dealership thing. Are most of them directly corporate?

      Well, a 1:1 mixture of chlorine bleach and vinegar should damn near instantly and permanently corrode the steel. Don’t breathe the fumes, but I have toyed with the idea of a squirt gun filled with instarust.

      Overnight, bologna can do some serious damage to paint, not sure what it might do to untreated aluminum.

      Like others said, paint is expensive AF, but also the classic “Slash 3 tires” is expensive

      Extra expensive because Tesla’s (Well, EVs in general I’m pretty sure) need special and more expensive tires due to the weight

        Don’t lose sight that you are committing a crime, you are destroying an innocent persons property, and you really have no excuses if caught by either the owner or the police

            I don’t believe this. And if it is the case I would just slash my 4th before make a claim. Stupid.

            Ah, but I thought the point of this thread was to keep the insurance pain building, so if we want higher premiums, should it be slash all 4 so they can claim it and wreck their rates?

          It’s general guidance for any vehicle, but it’s not a requirement

          It’s just for proper wear leveling and balance for a smoother ride
