Not saying it was the case here, almost certainly not, but…I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tesla dealerships doing this to themselves in the coming months, committing insurance fraud because they expect the payout to be better than the resale value — and/or just because they’re trying to flee the sinking ship.

@inthehands @Free_Press definitely would be likely if the dealerships were independently owned. I could see them using these types of events to justify horrible governmental actions too.

And the list goes on. People are •angry•, and they’ve found their physical outlet.

I continue to be terrified that some malicious actor would actually do this to all the Teslas in the country or the world, which would cause just extra extraordinary death and environmental damage. And I really hope that somebody instead executes some less life-threatening hack first (like say rendering them all undrivable and immobile), which would both tank the company and raise the alarm bell. Because the practical consequences of what somebody could do right now are simply terrifying.

A little firmware update to overload the battery clean out the logs, and then revert back to original code ... Over the air arson

Given that all these dealerships are apparently company-owned, not franchises, I wonder how quickly this impacts the company’s overall insurance costs if it keeps up.
