- Two teslas were burnt down in front of a collision center in Las Vegas early Tuesday morning.
- Police are investigating two cybertrucks damaged by fire at a dealer in Kansas City Tesla.
- Several Tesla locations have recently been targeted with vandalism and graffiti.
The number of attacks on Tesla cars and the company’s facilities in the United States shows no signs of slowdown. In the space of only 24 hours, the EV brand was targeted in cities like Las Vegas, Kansas City, San Diego, etc. These incidents occur at a time when Tesla’s course of action is in free fall, and Elon Musk continues to arouse controversy and to make the headlines.
On Tuesday, one of the most important attacks occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to local police officials, an unidentified individual has launched several Molotov cocktails and fired in a teslas line parked in one of the society’s collision centers.

The authorities say that the attack took place around 2:45 am, the suspect carrying a black outfit. As the police arrived, two teslas were fully swallowed up in flames. Safety images of the scene have captured burning vehicles. In addition to the criminal fire, the suspect painted the word “resist” the entry doors of the installation, which led the authorities to qualify the attack as “targeted” and perhaps driven by a “political program”.
This level of violence is crazy and deeply bad.
Tesla just does electric cars and did nothing to deserve these bad attacks. https://t.co/fh1rcfsjph

Elon Musk quickly approached violence on X (formerly Twitter), condemning the attack without index: “This level of violence is crazy and deeply false. Tesla just does electric cars and did nothing to deserve these bad attacks. ”
Kansas attacks
Meanwhile, in Kansas City, Missouri, two cybertrucks were burnt down in a Tesla local dealer on Monday. A local police officer first noted one of the fire cybertrucks, and while the local firefighters responded to the scene, they were not fast enough to avoid a second cybertruck to set fire. The two electric vehicles have suffered significant damage and are probably not repairable
Local authorities, including the criminal bomb and fire unit, were quickly joined by the FBI and the ATF to investigate the incident, reports KMBC.
Vandals strike Illinois and California
Vandalism is not limited to a criminal fire. In Buffalo Grove, Illinois, a Tesla dealer was targeted earlier this week, although no vehicle was injured. Instead, a vandal has painted derogatory remarks on President Trump and Elon Musk on the windows. They added that “trans rights are human rights”. In this case, the police arrested a woman as part of vandalism, and she faces criminal damage to property and accusations of intrusion, reports ABC7.
The attacks do not stop there. Further west, in enclosure, California, a Tesla location was defeated with swastikas and sprayed blasphemies on cars and concession windows. The police have not yet arrested or identify the suspects in this case.
