Colorado Woman Arrested in Tesla Dealership Vandalism Case

Lucy Grace Nelson faces state and likely federal charges for incidents involving incendiary devices and offensive graffiti at a Loveland Tesla dealership.

Lucy Grace Nelson, 40, was arrested after allegedly targeting a Loveland Tesla dealership multiple times since late January with vandalism and incendiary devices.
Police linked Nelson to incidents involving Molotov cocktails, offensive graffiti—including phrases like 'Nazi cars'—and attempted arson at the dealership.
Authorities apprehended Nelson on February 24 as she returned to the dealership carrying additional incendiary materials, preventing further damage.
Nelson has been charged with using explosives during a felony, criminal mischief, and attempting to commit a Class 3 felony, with federal charges expected to follow.
The incidents coincide with nationwide protests against Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has faced backlash over his role in the Trump administration's cost-cutting measures.
