Hours spent trying to get someone to buy a car they have no intention of buying are hours NOT spent making sales commissions.

      Which is also a waste of time. Protesting in front of a car dealership is just dumb.

        It’s a great idea actually. People buy vehicles for reasons other than practicality. No one is buying a cybertruck because they’re looking for a practical vehicle. It’s all vibes. If people see Tesla dealerships being picketed, they know that there will be a lot of people who judge them harshly for buying a Tesla. And aside from some right wing asshats, no one really wants that kind of heat on them just for buying a damn car. People buy expensive cars because they want to be seen as cool. Protests serve to make Teslas as uncool as possible.
