Tesla Dealerships Nationwide Targeted by Arson, Gunfire, and Vandalism

Recent attacks on Tesla locations in Colorado and Oregon highlight a growing wave of politically motivated vandalism linked to CEO Elon Musk's government role.

A Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado, was attacked for the fifth time this year, with an incendiary device causing a fire that endangered occupants and damaged property.
In Tigard, Oregon, a Tesla dealership was struck by at least seven gunshots overnight, damaging vehicles, shattering windows, and piercing a computer monitor, though no injuries were reported.
Authorities are investigating whether the incidents are connected to protests against Elon Musk, who now serves as an advisor to President Trump and leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Multiple arrests have been made in prior attacks, including one suspect in Oregon and another in Colorado, both accused of using Molotov cocktails and other destructive devices.
Federal and local law enforcement, including the FBI, are collaborating to investigate the attacks, which coincide with nationwide demonstrations calling for boycotts of Tesla products and Musk's leadership.
