    If that’s what the money was being used for Teslas wouldn’t be getting torched.

      I’m saying these cars could’ve been reclaimed, sold, and then the money used to help poor people.

        How do you just “reclaim” a vehicle, especially one with all these software and hardware dependencies. I don’t know if a stolen Tesla is worth anything at the moment besides scrap.

        Sure, it’s a waste of resources, but those resources were never going to help anyone so it’s not really wasted.

          How do you just burn a vehicle, especially with all those law enforcement officers ready to persecute you?

              So… you can steal the vehicle too. You can discuss and support policies that take the assets of the ruling class by force.

              Sad this needs to be spelled out for you people, but I don’t expect more at this point.

                If someone steals it, now they have a car that can be used as evidence against them in court.

                    Sigh indeed.

                    Feel free to get a car hauler, a place to store a showroom’s worth of vehicles, and a fence who deals in used cars and do it yourself if you think you can manage to move them before the cops show up at your front door.

                    Or change the world to fairly distribute wealth.

                    Until then, anyone can do what a random German did for the cost of some gasoline and a lighter and leave nothing tying them to the crime.
