Incidents Targeting Tesla
Recent weeks have seen a series of brazen attacks on Tesla properties that have alarmed both law enforcement and the public. In one particularly harrowing incident at a Tesla collision center in Las Vegas, multiple vehicles were set ablaze, and the word “Resist” was spray-painted on the building.
