Please correct me if I'm wrong but, hypothetically if someone were to vandalise a Tesla to the point of it being written off, could the owner request that the insurance company replace it with a non-tesla car?

Where I live, you get a clump sum of money based on the totaled cars current market value. So YES, in some places!
Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.
They're all masochists. I've never seen a group that wants to be oppressed more than conservatives. Their lives revolve around bullshit perceived aggrievement.
Fancy way to call people stupid
Christian conservatives are the worst of them all. Their entire society is steeped in their religion; it's literally unavoidable, despite the first amendment being very clear. If the US has a culture, it would heavily overlap with Christianity.
And yet they have convinced themselves that they are being oppressed. Because someone dared to challenge their obviously unconstitutional bullshit. It's so pathetic.
My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.
There's no hope for these people.
...he voted for the people who dont recognise the head of his religion?! As a former catholic myself, wow, he is a stupid one, hope the one person threw which they are your inlaws isnt as bright as them
Like imagine hearing or reading something so patently absurd, and taking it at face value without bothering to check if there is any truth to it. Brain rot.
It's just their projection taking another form: they know that they want to "outlaw" (or oppress or whatever) the other religions and minorities, so in their mind, the Democrats must be planning to do the exact same thing to them.
That is as deep as it ever gets with these people.
The modern Christian Establishment has a great deal in common with the United States itself. There's tons of writing and chatter about being based on principles of personal freedom and responsibility, taking care of one another, etc. while in real life the ones steering those ships will laugh you out of the room if you suggest they actually try to live and treat folks anything like their texts say they should.
There are, of course, genuinely good Christian and American individuals out there, but they are clearly not the ones in control of their institutions; the collective human organizations which serve to represent them are all about keeping up sparkly appearances and telling nice stories while standing firmly on the necks of anyone they deem too different from themselves.
Those people are good in spite of their religion.
Christianity takes all of the best aspects of humanity, and convinces people that they require some sort of supernatural force to be or do those things.
Happy Holidays has entered the chat.
A lot of core concepts in Christianity are incompatible with being white in America. It’s a religion for the oppressed being practiced by the oppressors. They’re the Pharisees. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to figure out how to see themselves as the lepers and the Jews.
I see a Reichertruck sometimes on my commute and wonder if the driver gets shit for it. It just gets an angry glare from me.
i call it the cybercoffin, and the charcuterie on wheels.
Cybertruck? Oh, that boxy Prius. Gotcha.
The prius doesn't deserve that.
Dude, the last version of the Prius I saw was a couple years ago on MKBHD, and it looked amazing and had a solar roof.
Fun fact: the solar roof debuted on the Prius for the 2010 model year, in 2009
