Tesla owners in California are facing threats of vandalism from a group called Students Against Nazi Extremism (SANE), which has left notes on vehicles demanding they be sold by February 12. These notes, which have been accompanied by direct threats, aim to shame Tesla owners amid criticism of CEO Elon Musk's recent shift towards far-right ideologies. While there have been no reported incidents of vandalism in the targeted areas, the group’s activities reflect a broader cultural backlash against those associated with Musk's increasingly controversial persona, especially as incidents of vandalism have occurred in other locations.
Though not specifying direct incidents, the continued threat created by Students Against Nazi Extremism emphasizes the cultural backlash against Tesla owners tied to Elon Musk's actions.
The group SANE has declared that the goal is to create enough shame around owning a Tesla that it becomes burdensome, aimed at the aesthetics of car ownership.
