Given all the ruckus and performative protests against Musk of the past couple of months, I have been awaiting some demonstrations at the dealership for some while. So far nothing.
Until Thursday. And then it was consistent with CatTurd's observation.

This is what I had been seeing reported across the country and ours was the same.
Maybe as many as fifty people at the intersection cornering the dealership. A mix of handmade and printed signs but all hard to read from a distance. A lot of yelling at drivers in traffic (oddly, just yelling at drivers, not necessarily Tesla drivers).
It was a warm day which raised moderate alarm for the well-being of the protestors given the demographics. The appearance was of white, college-educated, Boomer era women. To be fair, probably not more than 65% of the small crowd met those criteria. Maybe 25% appeared to be dutiful spouses/partners. They seemed embarrassingly quiet and trying not to be seen.
As usual, Pareto was present. 80% of the noise and activity was from 20% of the crowd, i.e. 10 little old ladies. Silver haired, stick figured, they were marching around (individually), shouting at drivers, beating a drum, genuine anger marring their faces, etc.
The traffic stopped at the light, and then flowed by - normal people going about their business. Tolerant of the old biddies, unengaged with their mania.
