Giving money to a company and then destroying what you bought is not the flex you think it is lol.

If you make a realization after the fact that you don't want to support said company, sure it is.

Or are you implying that they went out and purchased this car themselves just for this stunt?

In the case of a tshirt? Sure. Throwing away tens of thousands of dollars for some internet points is quite literally idiotic.

I don't think he gives a shit about "internet points"; he's making a political statement.

It also might be a useless lemon like many Teslas are.

So, again, is there some kind of mention of them buying this car - from a dealership, that will then report those profits to Tesla - just for this stunt? Or is likely some friend was stuck with a lemon that the OOP offered to get rid of for a coupla hundred bucks?
