According to CNN, a violent arson attack targeting Tesla vehicles occurred on March 18 at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas. Police reported that an individual dressed in black opened fire on several Tesla cars before setting them on fire. At least five vehicles sustained damage during the incident.
Responding to the attack, Tesla founder Elon Musk condemned the violence on social media platform X, stating, "This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong. Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks."
The Las Vegas attack is not an isolated incident. Recent weeks have seen similar acts of vandalism targeting Tesla cars and dealerships in other parts of the US. According to Reuters and other media outlets, US President Donald Trump referred to the recent violence against Tesla as "domestic terrorism" during a statement last week.
