    Oh I didn’t mean totaled cars, but it straight hailed rocks/created an artificial sandstorm up to 6.5 miles away in Port Isabel.

    I mean, yeah it’s minor in all things considered but that’s still hundreds of dollars per car in fixing paint and dents that probably won’t be absorbed much by insurance, and Elon sure as fuck doesn’t care about it.

    I sure don’t remember seeing what you’re describing. The cars around town had a fine brown dust on them after the launch. Most people compared it to a light sandstorm and didn’t give it a second thought. A few I talked to were annoyed by it, but that was all. I hung out for a few days afterward and I didn’t come across anybody who had significant damage to anything.
