- Earlier this month, Tesla was forced to repair a compressor station in the Massachusetts.
Attacks on Tesla vehicles and chargers seem to become more and more common. Less than a week after seven stands in a Massachusetts service station were burned, three others were burned, this time in South Carolina. However, the attacker in this case had an unpleasant surprise when he apparently set fire to his clothes.
According to North Charleston police, the man began his attack by spending the “living Ukraine” and a coarse message to President Donald Trump. He then threw into flanged beer bottles, which seemed to be homemade Molotov cocktails, in the charging stations.

Local authorities say that while the man threw these bottles, the clothes on the back caught fire. According to witnesses, the individual then quickly ran from the parking lot.
Further details on the attack are limited, but the police spokesman for North Charleston, Harve Jacobs, told the Associated Press that no arrest had been made on Tuesday. He also said that the investigation had been given to the Federal Office of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The firefighters attended the scene and sprayed the flames, but we don’t know how bad the damage was.
In the case of the high-level criminal fire attack on a compressor location in Littleton, Massachusetts, earlier this month, Tesla said it would repair the installation in less than 48 hours. He did not comment on the speed with which this Southern Southern Site will be corrected, but he will probably also want to put it back into service as soon as possible.
Elon Musk’s dive into politics and a significant presence in the Trump administration has made a lot against Tesla, and attacks against the automaker do not occur in the United States. In early March, eight Tesla vehicles were burnt down at a dealership in France, causing more than $ 730,000 in damage.
