I've seen multiple Teslas in my town with bumper stickers on them saying something like, "Sorry, I bought this before we knew he was crazy."

Tesla is now a symbol of hate and oppression, while I think vandalizing them is wrong, I am not surprised that the public is lashing out against this symbol. A few years ago I was considering one, now I wouldn't dream of buying one, this is just one more reason why.
