A Tesla Supercharger station in California’s Bay Area was recently hit by vandals who cut each and every charging cable, rendering the entire site useless.

Vandalism of Tesla vehicles is not uncommon, and we have reported on it many times in the past. Tesla Superchargers are also prone to various forms of vandalism and abuse, with damage to charging stalls or the act of “ICEing,” which entails gas-powered cars blocking Supercharger piles, all being popular forms of disruption.

However, we are now seeing vandalism continue in a strange and extremely disruptive way. A Bay Area Supercharger with several stalls was completely rendered useless after people sliced each of the cables from the individual piles.

I guess security will be added to the cost of charging now.

Dats a lot of copper.....I'm sure it has already been processed at $3 a pound by the nearest "Felons-R-Us" local shady scrapyard.

Tesla and its leader , African American businessman Elon Musk, are considered personas non grata among the left, so they should expect this kind of peaceful protests in liberal controlled areas like the SF Bay area.

Those are not vandals, they are thieves.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with Mr. Musk buying Twitter and moving some of his operations to Texas? An African American that would do that kind of thing really angers the left.

I'm sure it's people trying to buy bread and milk for their children...

You know they are teaching you fair play through tough love .

Some leftist loons here disparage Elon Musk because he refers to himself as an African American.
But he was born in Africa and is now an American citizen.
So what's the problem? ...

His family roots go to England and the Pennsylvania Dutch.

Oakland has long been notorious for thieves theft of copper.

Those are not vandals, they are thieves.

Copper theft is a booming business in lawless California. Along with catalytic converter theft and government corruption, it's one of the very few growth sectors in the state's economy.

That is click bait. Or in this case, Crick Bait.

 

[marvin martian]

His family roots go to England and the Pennsylvania Dutch.

He's still an African-American. Literally.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

What's next? Outfitting Teslas with removable floor panels and all weather boots so you can still "get her home" if all the charging stations are lacking their wiring?

The EV debacle just gets better. Bet the climate junkies didn't see this one coming.
EVs are going to have to yield to hybrids. No choice.

He's still an African-American. Literally.

I judge Crick as one who thinks blacks are the sole color found in Africa as natives there.

 

[petro]

I would say booby trap the damn things with electrocution at any sign of vandalism, but someone will come along and cry "criminals rights"

Perhaps just tazer level zapping?
Compromise, Adapt, Overcome.

Tesla did make his car fashionable to buy among loyal democrats.

 

[Sunni Man]

The lefty liberal loons loved Elon Musk and rushed to buy Tesla cars when they thought he was a Democrat.
But now that Elon openly champions Trump and the Republicans.
The lefty liberals have a conundrum.
They hate Elon but want to fight climate change by driving status symbol Tesla cars.
Too funny. ....
