In one case, a 40-year-old woman is accused of vandalizing a Tesla dealership in Colorado in five separate incidents in recent weeks.

Summary

Tesla facilities have faced multiple attacks, including arson, shootings, and vandalism, amid backlash against Elon Musk’s political role.

Since being appointed by Trump to lead DOGE, Musk has overseen deep federal workforce cuts and sparked public outrage.

Police report no direct links between attacks, but incidents include Molotov cocktails in Colorado, arson at charging stations near Boston, and gunfire at an Oregon dealership.

Tesla sales and Musk’s net worth have sharply declined. Experts warn cultural backlash may force Musk to step down from his government position.

      I love my Ioniq 6 too. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned

      Was looking to get into something a bit bigger. Would have gotten a Model Y if they had been on the radar at the time I got my Model 3, but that was years later. I’m pretty tall and getting tired of having to drop down into a car.

      Been looking at the Hyundai and Polestar options mostly.

        The KIA EV9 is pretty reasonably priced for what you get. As far as I can tell it’s the only EV with a functional 3rd row that isn’t exclusively in the luxury category.
