Sending out another 60 cards today to three New Model Y owners and their immediate neighbors!
Photo shows a gloved hand holding a card. Sitting on a wood surface slightly behind are a stack of the cards showing the backs, and a stack of envelopes. Back of the card has text that reads as follows: "People in our community are still purchasing new Teslas. These purchases support Elon Musk’s dismantling of the federal government and social security. We can have a real impact on Elon Musk’s wealth and power by boycotting Tesla. Let your friends and neighbors know it’s wrong to purchase a Tesla in 2025!" Front of the card shows an image that says "If their Tesla looks like this, they bought it after this". The image of the Tesla is the 2025 Tesla Model Y, highlighting the distinctive brake light which extends across the width of the car, and the headlight which also extends across the width of the car. At the bottom of the image is Elon Musk delivering a Nazi salute on January 20, 2025. This is the event that a person who purchased a 2025 Model Y would have purchased their car after. The envelopes are labeled "To our neighbors at" then the remainder of the address is blurred.

My favorite response is that you should grind up Claritin and sprinkle it on your HEPA filter. I honestly can't tell if this is satire. (3/3)
Reddit user vintagemako responds: I had the same thing happen! Here's how I fixed it: Get a bottle of Claritin. Grind up a few dozen of them in a coffee grinder. Open the center console and take out the HEPA filters. Sprinkle the Claritin dust on the filters. Make sure you get it deep in the folds of the filters, then reinstall the filters. Crank up the AC to max: throat issues solved! OP Supremesaiyajin responds back: Hmmm do you think that is good for the ac system?

None of the responses mention the obvious, that AC makes air dry, and spending the whole night with it blowing into your mouth will dry your shit out.

The most popular response is that Actually, Tesla has the cleanest air, it's the only place I can breath. (2/3)
Reddit user qwikmr2 responds: I have the exact opposite reaction, when outside irritants are kicking the Tesla is a refuge of clean air for me. Maybe there is a chemical that is creating a reaction for you. OP Supremesaiyajin responds back: Yeah, it should be the cleanest air, i just dont know what is causing it. I need ti find out because i want a tesla.

I keep an eye on Tesla subreddits, hoping I'll see my postcards start showing up.

The posts reinforce the stereotype I have of the Tesla driver; a dude that's probably good at programming or IT or something, but otherwise doesn't really understand anything. For example, humidity. (1/3)
From the TeslaModelY subreddit, a post titled "Sore throat!?" by Supremesaiyajin, which reads: Hi, I recently did an overnight drive in the new Model Y. Some months ago, I did the same trip in a new Model 3. Both times, I ended up with a sore throat afterward. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be something to do with the AC settings, or is it just that my body doesn’t tolerate Tesla’s climate system?

While the updated Model Y does not look quite as stupid, remember it's just as fascist!
Image says "If their Tesla looks like this, they bought it after this". The image of the Tesla is the 2025 Tesla Model Y, highlighting the distinctive brake light which extends across the width of the car, and the headlight which also extends across the width of the car. At the bottom of the image is Elon Musk delivering a Nazi salute on January 20, 2025. This is the event that a person who purchased a 2025 Model Y would have purchased their car after.

Maybe not a huge factor in China, but who wants an update that makes it clear you didn't buy it before Elon "went crazy"?

There were a couple requests for the template for my postcards. Dropbox link in the next post if bluesky compresses these too much.

I printed these on 4" x 6" card stock. You should be able to mail these with postcard stamps, which are less expensive than standard letter stamps.

There is an address field that starts with "To our neighbors at" and has two lines below it that can be filled out with an address.

Encountered my first "New" Model Y. I sent 30 postcards to the owner and the neighbors within about a block to make sure everyone is well informed!

Have a good #TeslaTakedown Global Day of Action tomorrow!

The updated design of the Model Y borrows the headlight design from the universally despised Cybertruck, and lets everyone around you know that the car was purchased after Elon's Nazi salute.

It's not surprising nobody wants to buy them!

Took this screenshot just now, directly off the Tesla website. New Model Ys are sitting available for pickup because nobody wants them.

Bad time for a Model Y update to come out, especially using the headlight from the Cybertruck. Who would want to buy a Tesla that everyone will know was purchased after March 2025?

Totally skipping over the biggest downside to this update: the Cybertruck style headlight tells everyone when you bought it.

Nobody is going to buy your sticker that says you bought it before Elon "went crazy".

For those who maybe don't want to go quite this far, but want to do more than just give the finger to Cybertruck drivers: consider expanding to new Model Ys!

I'd extend that to any new Tesla! Here's a little guide to help spot them.

Everyone make sure to extend the favor to new Model Y drivers, we may start to see them on the road as well!

I think it was probably a bad idea to take styling cues from the universally despised Cybertruck and put them on the Model Y!

That is sick. I've already got more protest signs than I can personally use, but I maybe want to make one of these.

Also the new Model Y is not as ugly as the Cybertruck, but equally deserving of whatever treatment anyone feels the Cybertruck should get!

Updating the previously best selling Model Y with styling cues from the universally despised Cybertruck doesn't seem like a smart move, but I'm not an Elon level super genius.

I know it's not the same, but the new Model Y is just as deserving!

It's not as ugly but just as fascist, make sure you show a little hate for the updated Model Y if you see one!

Feel comfortable heckling Cybertruck drivers but aren't sure about other Teslas? Consider branching out to the updated Model Y that was highlighted in Trump's sales pitch today!

I've been saying that if you spot a new Model Y you know that driver for sure supported fascism with their car purchase.

You don't have to take my word for it, lets hear from the fascist himself!
