It's a wordplay on Swastika and car, because the Elon Musk Nazi salute business happened, and since the performer of the alleged Hitler heil, Elon Musk, runs the car manufacturer Tesla, Inc, this wordplay has become marginally popular on the internet by virtue of the subjects having common association. Having said that about the internet joke, there is no info at target regarding Teslas being called "Swasticars", and I have not even seen any general content there about post-Musk-gesture backlash against the company. Maybe delete this? BarntToust 23:44, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
:delete no real notability for this moniker yet User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 00:04, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
:Keep I'm honestly surprised no one's added anything about the term yet to that article yet. Redirects aren't themselves required to be notable, that people may be expected to search on them suffices. This one makes sense, though, yes, the target article needs to mention it. I think it can be written to fit into the "lawsuits and controversies" or "criticism" section. Largoplazo (talk) 01:00, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
::I had added [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tesla%2C_Inc.&diff=1277952746&oldid=1277729010 a whole bit] about the backlash for Musk's support for parties such as reform and AfD and his supposed salute resulting in the swasticar moniker in the tesla sales section since that was where they were talking about the dip in sales being due to Musk's far right dalliances but it was reverted for being political and I didn't have the will in me to fight it. Others may feel free to pick up that particular gauntlet Shadebug (talk) 01:09, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
:::see WP:NEWSWEEK for cautionary principles on using that source. It would be fitting to write content in indeed.
:::Anyone wanting to add content about the Swasticar and general
::::I've restored the mention and added these additional cites to the article. Enix150 (talk) 06:17, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
:delete, you guys are bored? ThurnerRupert (talk) 03:39, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per Largoplazo and Shadebug. Enix150 (talk) 04:21, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - Well sourced mention is now in the article, thanks to the effort above. If necessary, refine it to the section where it is mentioned, but I think expecting the user to ctrl+f may be enough in this case. Fieari (talk) 07:37, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, especially following the edits to the article. It's a redirect -- no big deal... Nomoskedasticity (talk) 13:30, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Tesla, Inc.#Vehicle sales as now encyclopedic content around the term rests there. BarntToust 17:44, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget per BarntToust. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 00:07, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to either Tesla Takedown or Criticism of Tesla, Inc.. Andra Febrian (talk) 04:45, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- :No mentions at either of these targets. Enix150 (talk) 07:18, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:46, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and add content to the article regarding the term given it is a response to Elon's salute, which the article is about. There's enough reliable sources to support the content in the article. TarnishedPathtalk 09:42, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, the term is now mentioned and sourced in the target article. Suonii180 (talk) 17:50, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep as long as the content remains in the article and there isn't better content at Criticism of Tesla, Inc. or Tesla Takedown. The latter seems like the most natural home for it but there isn't any mention of the term there yet and there is at the main article. Rusalkii (talk) 17:52, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- Refine to Tesla, Inc.#Vehicle sales. We should take readers to the section where the term is discussed instead of the main page. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
