Now if the vandalism turned into hitting a production line, that would really fist them that much harder

I am not convinced it would, TBH.

If people don't want to buy the cars, then the production line will eventually have to stop, permanently. And you get zero compensation for lost revenue.

If a production line is hit and has to close, then insurance will compensate part of the damage and after a few days or weeks you can be up and running again.

Well you bring up some valid points that I overlooked, I think I may reconsider that position.

I could see the insurers dropping them if production was repeatedly hit but I also am realistic and know the chances of that being successful would probably be pretty slim.

thier insurance premiums will go up if dealerships are targeted too. Also: can't sell a car at full price as new if it's broken.
