    But if you blow up or damage the cars, the dealership just claims from their insurance, they get the money as though they just sold a car, and they have lot vacancies, so Tesla can sell the dealership more stock.

    This is only true if you look at events in a vacuum.

    Dealer makes insurance claim, gets money

    Not inaccurate, but the dealership also has to rebuild/shit down for a time after the event for safety reasons. And they’ll be paying more for their liability coverage, especially if they continue to sell cars that are targets for unhappy citizens.

    gets money back as if they sold it

    They may get the sticker/wholesale price for it, but they lose out on various incentives, manufacturer kickbacks, and any interest/financing fees as well.

    Have lot vacancies

    And a fucked up lot, requiring construction crews (which impede business) and probably extra insurance

    Tesla can sell more stock

    Eventually, but the loss in lot space and the delay in getting it back is going to hurt a lot more.

      Not to mention that it will be increasingly difficult to retain employees if their workplace is a target. If McDonald’s started getting shot up/destroyed because Ronald was a mask-off nazi, I would be into another job ASAP.
