A woman in Colorado has been arrested after police caught her with expIosives at a TesIa dealership, police said.
The 40-year-old suspect, Lucy Grace Nelson, was arrested on Monday after the Loveland Police Department launched an “extensive investigation” following a series of vandaIizations at the dealership in Loveland, Colorado.
So she was returning her cybertruck
Heyyyy ohhh!

That “reporter” should be fired for using such inflammatory language. Word play absolutely intended.
Ok, I need to explain this to people, but don’t blow up or damage Tesla’s at dealerships. Aside from the usual about being socially responsible, the dealers and Tesla loses money when cars can’t sell and are stuck on lots. Tesla can’t sell a dealership a new car if the dealership can’t sell a car and make space for a new one on their lot. 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.
Let the swasticars just sit there and depreciate on the dealership floor. That’s the real way to fuck em.
TBF insurers could start denying coverage if it becomes an obvious concern: and it very clearly is.
People don’t want to fly planes because they’re falling out of the sky. A Tesla dealership explosion would’ve done some significant PR damage, and may keep people from visiting them.
But, you’re right, it seems like Tesla is collapsing on its own without the need of terrorist attacks. But, the nonviolent Tesla graffiti is funny though.
If you get rid of the building only though and not the cars, that’s double damage.
Tesla only does direct sales, no dealerships. Otherwise, point taken. Carry on.
Why does the title literally say “Tesla dealership”?
Because that’s what the author is used to calling a place that sells cars.
Tesla gets around the whole “dealership” thing by calling them “Tesla Stores”. You can go there and buy a car, so essentially it’s a dealership. Difference being they don’t have 100 cars on the lot of different trim levels to pick from.
Here’s one I picked at random:

Well, some dealerships should be blown up to ensure that all of them have insurance and that insurance is expensive.
And if Tesla dealerships are significantly higher risk their insurance will go through the roof.
No, she was with me all day.
At first glance, from the thumbnail… I thought it was Christine Weston Chandler.
What a twist that would have been.
Damn, sonichu just got HARDCORE!
She obviously could have just used a handheld sphere of steel
Bless her heart
I understand the desire for protest against Musk. However, explosives by themselves are dangerous and can hurt you and others.
Further, while the lower end models of Tesla cars use a safe battery chemistry, you should know that high end models of Tesla cars and cybertruck use a chemistry of battery known as NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt). Puncturing of a fully charged NMC battery cell will result in a violent chemical reaction which can also hurt you or others as seen here. Please do not use explosives in your protests. Protest without the chance of harm to you or others.
so what you’re saying is that Tesla has provided their own explosives?
Are batteries that you can poke to explode really a good idea in a country with so many wireless hole pokers?
Nice try officer.
What have peaceful protests gotten us?
This woman is obviously mentally ill. No one in their right mind would repeatedly return to sabotage the same location again and again.
I don’t have anything against sticking it to the man, but there are better ways to go about this.
Like what, building your own ultra fast kamakaze drone and going after a terrorist?
Regular drones would work just fine.
On an unrelated note: isn’t it funny that the guy tracking @elonsjet is on mastadon!
I ain’t saying that’s a viable alternative
But it’s probably more fun
There’s much better targets for the explosives
To all the pearl clutchers, it was Molotov cocktails and graffiti, not IEDs. She was vandalizing the dealership.
And upgraded to federal charges. Kash Patel is spending government resources on this for his partisan buddy instead of rightwing extremists and insurrectionists.
“Instead of”
Implies Patel would ever prosecute right wing criminals.
He won’t, unless they piss off trump.
A potential 20 year sentence! For $5,000 in damages to luxury vehicles.
Meanwhile, the J6 terrorists are pardoned.
She used molotov cocktails and only did $5,000 in damage? I was really expecting to hear a few hundred Gs based on tesla’s prices and the cars I’ve seen go up in flames in the past.
Oh those mischievous 40 year old kids. I say let her go with a warning.
In the eyes of the law a Molotov cocktail carries the same penalties as a pipe bomb, both “unregistered Destructive Devices”. It’s the ATF’s bailiwick so it’s not unusual that the feds are involved, strictly speaking.

Regarding Nazi property: if it can be turned against them, better; but if not, destruction is second-best.
The loss of productivity and environmental damage of letting Nazis persist in any fashion far outweigh any value the objects hold on their own.
The most value we can extract from that trash is the message it sends as it’s burning to the ground.
Wow - great way to help our cause!
All that’s going to do is make some insurance companies more money. If she’s gonna throw her life away she should’ve just gone after Elon lmao
An actual hero fighting fascism <3
Ah yes, attempt to kill a bunch of low-level employees that may not even make six figures… what a hero
Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed.
It must be just me, but I can’t see who they are claiming did it.
