‘I’m selling the Nazi mobile’: Tesla owners offload cars after Musk’s fascist-style salutes

After Elon Musk's fascist-style salutes, some Tesla owners are selling their cars and offloading Tesla stock, as they can't align with his politics and behavior.
The movement of turning against Tesla is growing, with some enthusiasts explicitly citing Musk's salutes during an inauguration as the reason for parting ways.
Protests against Musk have led to Tesla showrooms being targeted, and anti-Musk websites and social media accounts emerging.
The protest movement began when Tesla owners started displaying bumper stickers expressing disillusionment with Musk's political engagements.
Some owners, like Ron and Rebekkah, sold their Teslas at a loss, feeling uncomfortable supporting Musk's ideologies.
Tesla sales have declined, with registrations falling and a significant hit in Europe, potentially affected by Musk's controversial statements and political affiliations.
Despite Tesla's stock price initially soaring in 2024, Musk's involvement in politics has led to a 25% drop in share value since mid-December.
On social media, there is encouragement to sell Tesla stock, with a notable selloff post-inauguration leading to Musk's significant personal wealth loss.
Filipos, a former Tesla enthusiast, sold his Tesla stock and vehicles, feeling relieved to be free of all ties to the automaker and its controversial CEO.
The impact of Musk's actions and affiliations on Tesla's brand loyalty and financial performance is evident in the growing dissent among former supporters.

What Happens After a Car Crash?

After a car crash, auto body shops play a crucial role in repairing the damage, from dents to major collision issues.
The first step is finding a reliable repair shop that prioritizes quality repairs to ensure safety on the road.
An assessment of the damage is conducted, checking for visible issues as well as hidden mechanical problems caused by the crash.
Working with insurance follows, where a repair cost is agreed upon before repairs can begin.
Auto body technicians may need to dismantle the car to uncover hidden structural damage before proceeding with repairs.
Repairing or replacing parts such as metal panels, bumpers, and mechanical components is done based on the extent of the damage.
Painting and refinishing are crucial steps to ensure the repaired areas match the rest of the car for a seamless finish.
Reassembling the car and conducting a final inspection ensures all parts are securely attached, and safety features work correctly.
In the event of severe damage, the car may be deemed 'totaled,' where the insurance pays the market value instead of repairing it.
To prevent future accidents, focus on staying alert, maintaining your car, and driving defensively to minimize risks on the road.
