Teslas in Las Vegas set on fire in "targeted attack," police say
![]() At least five Tesla vehicles in Las Vegas were damaged early Tuesday in a "targeted attack" with two vehicles fully engulfed in flames and others shot at with guns, authorities said. At around 2:45 a.m. local time, officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to multiple reports of Tesla vehicles being set on fire at a Tesla Collision Center. Police found at least five Tesla vehicles damaged, including two which were engulfed in flames, and the word "RESIST" in capital letters spray painted in red on the center's doors. The suspect also fired at least three rounds into the vehicles and is believed to have used Molotov cocktails for the fire, according to police. Investigators are still searching for the suspect and said the individual approached the Tesla facility wearing black clothing. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating alongside the Las Vegas police. The Las Vegas incident follows a string of protests and violence at Tesla facilities nationwide over Tesla CEO Elon Musk's role in President Trump's cost-cutting task force, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Other incidents have included graffiti on a Tesla dealership sign, Molotov cocktails thrown in another dealership's lot, and Tesla charging stations set on fire. On Monday, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office reported multiple Tesla vehicles with swastikas spray-painted on them. No arrests have been made in that incident.
