Overview

• A series of politically motivated attacks involving arson, gunfire, and vandalism have targeted Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations in the U.S. and abroad.
• Attorney General Pam Bondi has labeled these acts as domestic terrorism, with the Department of Justice charging multiple individuals under federal statutes.
• The FBI and federal agencies are actively investigating incidents, including a recent attack in Las Vegas involving Molotov cocktails and firearms, which left several Tesla vehicles destroyed.
• Tesla owners, feeling increasingly vulnerable, are taking measures like activating vehicle security systems and using stickers to distance themselves from Elon Musk's political affiliations.
• The attacks coincide with declining Tesla sales and stock value, as Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration fuels backlash.
