Make Tesla dealers and chargers the Gulf of America for Canadians.

Theoretically, if Canadians gave real-looking one star ratings on Google Maps for Tesla dealerships and chargers, then it would discourage buying Teslas. People who already own Teslas would choose public chargers from other brands - even Canadian ones. It would also be hilarious to see every place selling swastikars with reviews lower than a doge employee's IQ.

Skim existing low reviews, find a common thread, and run with it.

  • Google quickly purges reviews like that.

    Remember: Google is in bed with Musk and the Trump admin. They're not going to let you slander them that easily.

  • Just pointing out that the in-car navigation doesn't show reviews for superchargers when navigating to them. And that's what most owners use primarily. People don't usually choose chargers because of reviews, they choose them based on when they need to charge, like when travelling.

    And that assumes that drivers even use the navigation and don't already know where their usual chargers are already.

    That effort should be used elsewhere that is more effective. Reviewing chargers negatively is just going to waste time for something no one looks at, shouting into the void essentially.

  • It's the digital equivalent of graffiti. Sure, if feels like you're doing something, but it mostly gets painted over.

    But here's an interesting question: presume the US does invade some day. Are you willing to risk being rounded up in (insert future year) because you insulted some oligarch on the internet in 2025 by defacing their virtual storefront? This idea that there's no risk to your actions now might not be true in the future. With that in mind, does it change your suggestion?

    • You're posting this on a community you're running called MapleResistance. And yes, graffiti is and has been effective. You're welcome to do whatever you want, but we need a variety of tactics right now and not arguments over the most pure tactic.

      This takes 15 seconds.

      • The question was something I was hoping was interesting and would start a discussion.
