Several Tesla vehicles were set on fire at Tesla service center in Las Vegas. More Tesla vehicles were also set on fire in Kansas, arson is also suspected in this case, but it’s not confirmed.
Tesla is facing protests at stores across the US over masses trying to negatively affect Elon Musk who many believes is establishing himself as a oligarch in the US.
On top of the peaceful legal protests, more extremist groups are also attacking Tesla with vandalism.
Cars have been burned down, keyed, and Tesla stores had windows broken, have been graffitied, and even shot at.
Protests are not slowing down with over 100 planned for the next 2 weeks and unfortunately, the vandalism attacks on Tesla also don’t appear to be slowing down.
Just last night, there were two instances.
The first one was at Tesla’s service center in Las Vegas were several vehicles were reportedly set on fire (pictured above).
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said that they were told that an individual set the vehicles on fire, but they are still investigating:
“LVMPD Communications received information that an individual had set several vehicles on fire in the parking lot and caused damage to the property,”
The FBI is reportedly being involved.
President Trump said last week that he wants to classify vandalism against Tesla as “domestic terrorism.” We previously reported that the FBI has already gotten involved in several instances of vandalism at Tesla stores.
In a separate instance in Kansas City last night, two Tesla Cybertrucks burned down at the local Tesla store.
A KCPD officer spotted the fire and tried to extinguish it himself but couldn’t. Firefighters had to come and the fire spread to a second Cybertruck in the meantime.
The KCPD Bomb and Arson unit is investigating the cause – therefore, arson is also suspected but not confirmed yet.
Tesla vehicles have at times caught on fire on their own – although it’s a rare occurence.
