Three individuals have been federally charged for Molotov cocktail attacks on Tesla properties in Oregon, Colorado, and South Carolina.
President Trump has condemned the attacks as domestic terrorism, warning perpetrators and funders of penalties up to 20 years in prison.
The FBI is actively investigating the incidents, which include arson, vandalism, and shootings at Tesla facilities across the U.S.
