What data do you cite that…
What data do you cite that Tesla vehicles are “disproportionately targeted” ? Over the years I have personally had cars vandalized in various ways (windows smashed, body damage, headlights broken, tires slashed, etc). This was well before the days of Tesla. I guess I could have claimed that my personal vehicles were being “disproportionately targeted” based on those incidents and my observations.
A drink being thrown on a vehicle is hardly vandalism by comparison. That is absolutely nothing to whine about. So, to use that as an example to support your contention that Tesla vehicles are being “disproportionately targeted” is a huge stretch at best and a totally unfounded conclusion at worst.
Just this past week, I saw an example of a Porsche that literally had its headlights removed by someone who cut the surrounding sheet metal to gain access. Are Porsches being “disproportionately targeted” ?
If anything, you might conclude that wealthy people (i.e. expensive vehicles in general) are (or have been) “disproportionately targeted”. Although none of my cars were expensive high-end cars so even that would seem to be a baseless conclusion.
Vehicle vandalism has been prevalent long before EVs, Tesla, or the Cybertruck and spans the full spectrum of vehicles (expensive, cheap, gas, electric). There is no way to conclude that EVs, Tesla vehicles (or even the Cybertruck in particular) are being “disproportionately targeted” without supporting data. Please cite the data.
That said, given that the Cybertruck is openly advertised to be essentially damage proof coupled with possible animosity toward excessive displays of wealth (expensive cars in general), it should come as no surprise that people will attempt to vandalize them (the Cybertruck is a rolling dare)! Again, the proof would be in the data which was not provided.
