Multiple Tesla facilities across the United States were targeted in what appears to be a coordinated series of arson and vandalism attacks. Law enforcement and federal agencies are now investigating whether these incidents constitute an act of domestic terrorism.
Key Incidents Across the Nation
Las Vegas, Nevada: At approximately 2:45 AM, a Tesla Collision Center was attacked, with five vehicles damaged and two completely engulfed in flames. The suspect, wearing all black clothing, reportedly used Molotov cocktails and fired multiple rounds into vehicles. The words “RESIST” were spray-painted on the facility’s doors.
Kansas City, Missouri: Two Tesla Cybertrucks were set on fire, with local law enforcement responding to the incident.
San Diego, California: A Tesla dealership was vandalized with anti-semitic symbols and profanity, with local activist group “Swing Left” having organized a rally at the same location days prior.
FBI’s Response
FBI Special Agent Spencer Evans emphasized that the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating the incidents. “Violent acts like this are unacceptable,” Evans stated. “We will come after you and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.”
Potential Political Motivations
While officials are cautious about declaring the attacks terrorism, several factors suggest a potentially politically motivated assault:
– The attacks targeted Tesla, a company associated with Elon Musk
– Coordinated timing across multiple states
– Politically charged graffiti and symbolism
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has already condemned the attacks, calling them “insane and deeply wrong.”
Ongoing Investigation
Law enforcement agencies are actively collecting evidence, including surveillance footage and vehicle recordings. They’re urging the public to come forward with any information that might help solve these cases.
What This Means for Tesla Owners
Authorities advise Tesla owners to:
– Remain vigilant
– Report suspicious activities
– Ensure vehicles are parked in secure locations
– Cooperate with local law enforcement
