- Farmington Hills officials are fuming over a glut of unsold Cybertrucks being stored in the city.
- Tesla has been parking the EVs at a shopping center earmarked for major redevelopment.
- Officials say the electric vehicles violate zoning codes and are warning the property owner.
Tow them and fine them. Simple as that.
Towing them without putting them in tow mode will total them.
Tow trucks have never cared about wrecking their cargo before. Why should they care for Cybertrucks?
Sounds like the vehicle owners’ problem. “Unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the owners expense.”
These ugly things need to be in “tow mode”?
I was going to say what a stupid idea, but that’s just the tip of the stupid ice berg.
few cans of gasoline and some matches could go a long way to help solving this problem
definitely would rather see people
stealingrecycling the batteriesOr fly a drone overhead and drop paint or Liquid Ass.
They’re just so damn ugly. One pulled up next to me at a light the other day and it looked like a cockroach skittered into my side vision.
Here’s a lot I pass by every day.
The property owners should seize them for unpaid storage fee’s. That has happened in my state. Putting your property on someone elses property is considered a tacit admission of a debt when it comes to storage. Ironically there is another law that states you can’t charge for more than six months storage without a signed agreement. However there is nothing regulating how much that fee is. Case in point a person failed to pick up late model car at a towing company for two years. The towing company gave the owner a huge bill and they went to court to get it reduced to six months. The towing company just resubmitted a bill for six months at a increased rate that equaled the amount of the original bill. By the time the asshole who should have come and got their car sooner got through the bill had went up again. It was quite entertaining. to watch.
Aren’t these atrocities full of nice lithium batteries? If so, confiscated cars can be scraped for parts with the batteries going to hospitals, schools, the ACAB offices and fire departments to be used as backup electricity.
I’m surprised nobody has stolen the rims or the batteries, or even tried to steal the catalytic converter.
What catalytic converter? They’re electric.
The metal body panels that have just been haphazardly hung onto the frame on the other hand…
Just set them on fire.
This was my first thought. But the top comment talking about the batteries and what not going to hospitals and emergency centers made me feel different, hopeful even. Like, a feeling of organized chaotic good anarchy. Why burn the cars completely, when we can resources the useful parts, and then burn the left over scraps of the worthless useless billionaire? I mean… car.
Same thing is happening in Europe with Chinese EVs. Chinese EVs are piling up at European ports because they’ve gone unsold and the carmakers were way too optimistic or it’s some sort of book keeping trickery to rack up the sales figures.
Fucking tow em.
On one hand, lmao. On the other, seems like kind of a dumb thing for the city to get mad over. Not like that dead mall’s parking lot was suddenly going to become a economic center of the city or anything.
“Tesla has been parking the EVs at a shopping center earmarked for major redevelopment.”
They’re in the way of the redevelopment.
That sounds more like “We’re going to eventually do this” rather than “the bulldozers are here, move your shit” to me.
