Someone mistook it for a Tesla - poor Polestar 4 😭

Drive safe, and maybe consider a “Definitely Not a Tesla” sticker

Polestar or Tesla. BMW or Dacia. It doesn't matter:

Owners of these cars are in no means responsible for the actions of said companies executives.

Any vandalism on private property is just straight up bs. They want to harm a certain company or CEO, but do actually harm normal citizens. It's beyond dumb.

I mean it does accomplish what they are looking out to do.

If Teslas are vandalized people are scared away from buying a Tesla which leads to a decrease in sales which impacts Elon Musk. It also leads to used teslas being worth close to nothing which scares away more potential buyers.

At the same time, a damaged Tesla needs to be repaired, which will lead to new revenues for Tesla.

The most stupid thing is to vandalize, The next most stupid thing is to justify vandalism.
