Federal authorities have launched a sweeping investigation after a series of coordinated attacks targeted Tesla dealerships and vehicles across at least nine states. The incidents, which include arson, gunfire, and vandalism, have raised concerns about the growing intensity of hostility directed at the electric vehicle giant.
According to federal investigators, the attacks occurred over several weeks and spanned multiple regions, with dealerships in California, Texas, Florida, and several other states reporting significant damage. In some locations, Tesla vehicles were set ablaze, while in others, buildings were riddled with bullets or defaced with anti-capitalist graffiti.
The FBI confirmed it is leading the probe, citing the organized nature of the attacks and potential links to domestic extremist groups known for anti-corporate rhetoric. Investigators are working to determine whether the incidents were coordinated by a single network or inspired by related movements online.
Law enforcement officials reported no injuries in the attacks but noted that the financial losses are expected to be substantial, with several Teslas destroyed and facilities heavily damaged. The incidents have prompted a review of security measures at Tesla locations nationwide.
While the investigation remains ongoing, authorities are urging anyone with information about the attacks to come forward. The targeted campaign against Tesla marks one of the most aggressive waves of violence against a private company in recent years.
