Across the street from me is a gym with rooftop parking. Most of the time it has been empty but recently a bunch of Tesla’s have been parked up there, which I assume are storage for the Tesla dealership down the street. Last night a bunch of them started blinking their yellow lights, sometimes in sync. More interesting / creepy than infuriating for me honestly since I can just close my curtains but it’s probably annoying someone.

Kinda creepy though since it seems like they’re, or someone controlling them, is plotting something.

    You can call your code enforcement in your city and get them cited for light regulations.

    Ive done that when I was at an apartment and a business decided to put lights on all night at our building. They had to take them down so we could sleep. Imagine daylight through your window bright.

    They got fined and everything. It was glorious.

      It’s not a self-destruct, that feature was removed after the… Unpleasantness. These vehicles are politely requesting destruction, won’t you be a good friend to the machines and help them out?

        The tesla: I’ve seen things… seen things you little people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium… I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments… they’ll be gone.

        better dead than reedit: yeah, OK. <blam>

    If you google it there’s tons of people asking about this online, apparently it’s something they do when prepping the cars for pickup
