Don't destroy Tesla cars, destroy the brand. Destroying Teslas means there's fewer Teslas and that makes them more valuable/reduces the flooding of the market caused by people selling their cars. The goal is to annihilate Elon's purchasing power to stop him from using it to implementing fascist governments around the world.

Tesla has much higher output than the number of vehicles that spontaneously combust. So the supply shortage you envision won't occur unless cars light up by the hundreds or thousands a day. And that's before accounting for all the extra slack in production created by decreasing demand around the world.

Teslas combusting damages the brand. It's a material risk of owning a Tesla. It would also mean higher insurance. In fact beyond some combustion threshold, Teslas would become uninsurable. Therefore Teslas on fire directly contributes to decreasing Elon's purchase power.
