I can't say that I support this. Most Tesla owners bought their car before he was a nazi. Most Tesla owners don't have the funds to just buy a different car unexpectedly, especially now that the prices have dropped so much. If you want to vandalize a Tesla just do it at the dealership. That being said, vandalizing cybertrucks doesn't bother me as much even if it belongs to an individual.

Take off the logo. Hair dryer and floss. That's free.

I've already purchased what I plan to replace the logo on my model 3 with. I need to confirm that my technique for removing the adhesive residue won't affect the paint and make sure I'll be able to properly align the replacement logo and then I'll have it swapped out. Hopefully by the end of the week.

What's the logo? You may be able to find out via forums - there are enough people out there who have painted or wrapped their cars - seem like logo removal should be common enough

It's the logo for the rebel alliance from star wars

Will that not just play into a victim complex thing, and make people presume you're "rebelling against woke"?

It's terribly stupid, I knoe, but Orbán has been using the exact same symbology lately, they are stealing Star Wars scenes for campaign ads.

I already have a "FDT" sticker and a "F ELON" sticker, so I don't think so.

I'm not seeing the link to the dogequest website anywhere.

It was https://dogeque.st/ but seems to be down since yesterday, they may have hopped to another domain though.
