Context of Tesla Vandalism Incidents
Tesla vehicles and related properties have reportedly been targeted in a series of vandalism and arson incidents across the nation recently. These acts have occurred amid apparent protests against Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in a Department of Environmental Efficiency initiative.
Tesla’s CEO previously addressed the broader issue of vandalism, stating last month, “I think a great wrong is being done to the people of Tesla and to our customers…Tesla’s a peaceful company that has made great cars, great products — that’s all it’s done.”
