Local filmmakers produce PSA protest video against Tesla

There is a new short video that creates the round online, which begins with a list of symptoms that Tesla drivers may experience.

“Did you avoid eye contact with other drivers?” The narrator Alex Winter can be heard in the video. Winter is an actor who is best known for his role as Bill in the film “Bill and Teds excellent adventure”.

“Do you experience intensive feelings of guilt when you have inspired yourself before you know the reason?”

The so -called “announcement of the public service” is a parody that should sound like a pharmaceutical display. Most of the line -up and the film crew, which voluntarily registered for the two -minute film, are residents of Seattle, including some who have a Tesla.

“If these symptoms describe them, they may suffer from the Tesla religret syndrome or TRS,” said Winter.

The video is aimed at Tesla drivers, who may have the remorse of the buyer and are dissatisfied with the CEO of the electric car, Elon Musk. Musk has led to reducing thousands of federal jobs. The video comes for a few months after Tesla Subaru dethroned as the most popular car for Seattle drivers.

Knkx turned to Tesla to get an answer to the video, but did not hear back.

Lacey Leavitt Gray produced the film. She bought a Tesla in 2020, but recently sold it when Musk was involved in the Trump administration.

“I bought a car because I wanted to do something good,” said Leavitt Gray. “And then I literally saw the symbol of the car I drove now for something completely different.”

Since then, Leavitt Gray has been on several protests organized by the group called the troublemaker based in Seattle. They are responsible for protests outside of Tesla exhibition rooms in the Seattle area.

Leavitt Gray said that she had the idea of ​​producing the short film, which she described her creative “act of resistance”.

“The only thing that saves people in these terrible times when autocracy is on the rise is to connect and do things together,” she said.

Leavitt Gray said the film shows actors who own a Tesla and either shouted at or were experienced by car vandalism. She hoped that the Video Tesla owner, who cannot afford to sell the car, to sell their frustrations about Musk, e.g. B. to hit a sticker to his bumper.

But also, said Leavitt Gray, the video is a message against the harassment of Tesla drivers who may have bought the car as a better administrator of the environment.

“I understand why people are upset about Elon Musk. I understand why people are angry, but do not take it off on Tesla drivers,” she said. “Don't take it to the person who drives the car down the street.”

The local filmmaker Megan Griffiths is one of about 15 people who volunteered for the project for their time.

“Many of us had so much political fear, and it just felt like a great way to lead this into something productive,” she said.

The video of Tesla Contret syndrome has been viewed more than 61,000 times since it was released on YouTube last month. It was also presented on a website for Tesla Contret syndrome campaign, which is led by the group-based group of unrest piano.
