Protest against Tesla: Showrooms, vehicle lots, charging stations, private cars targeted

Attacks on property carrying Tesla logo are cropping up across the US. Prosecutors in Colorado charged a woman last month in connection with a string of attacks on Tesla dealerships, including Molotov cocktails thrown at vehicles and the words "Nazi cars" spray-painted on a building.

And federal agents in South Carolina last week arrested a man they say set fire to Tesla charging stations near Charleston. A number of the most prominent incidents have been reported in left-leaning cities like Portland, Oregon, and Seattle.

An Oregon man is facing charges after allegedly throwing several Molotov cocktails at a Tesla store in Salem, then returning another day and shooting out windows.

In a Portland suburb, more than a dozen bullets were fired at a Tesla showroom last week. Four Cybertrucks were set on fire in a Tesla lot in Seattle earlier this month. In Las Vegas, several Tesla vehicles were set ablaze early Tuesday outside a Tesla service centre where the word "resist" was also painted in red across the building's front doors.
