Las Vegas, Nevada – Vandals targeted a Tesla sales center in Las Vegas early Tuesday, damaging at least five vehicles, two of which were completely destroyed – CNN report.

Attackers reportedly used Molotov cocktails to set fire to showroom causing significant damage. Witnesses claim suspects fled the scene after spray-painting the word “racist” on the showroom doors. Local police have yet to make any arrests.

This incident marks latest in series of attacks against Tesla facilities across United States fueled by growing public backlash against CEO Elon Musk.

Critics accuse Musk of influencing controversial political decisions particularly those tied to President Donald Trump. Musk’s recent endorsement of Trump and his announcement to purchase a new Tesla model have further polarized public opinion.

Last week, a Tesla sales center in Kansas was similarly vandalized with two Cybertrucks destroyed. Analysts suggest these attacks reflect broader frustration with Musk’s political activities and perceived alignment with divisive figures. 

In response, U.S. Attorney General has declared any anti-Tesla actions as acts of terrorism, punishable under federal law. Despite these measures anti-Tesla sentiment continues to escalate, with boycott movements gaining traction nationwide.
