FBI SOUNDS ALARM AS TESLA VANDALISM SWEEPS THE NATION

Picture a quiet Houston evening, the hum of traffic fading as a Tesla owner strolls back to their sleek electric auto, only to freeze at the sight of shattered glass and slashed tires glinting under a streetlight.

The FBI fired off a public warning, spotlighting a wave of vandalism crashing across the U.S., targeting Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations in at least nine states. For drivers and tech fans, it’s a jarring twist—those futuristic rides, once symbols of green innovation, are now caught in a storm of spray paint, gunfire, and flames.

The trouble’s been brewing since January, with lone wolves striking under cover of night, their motives scrawled in graffiti decrying racism, fascism, or political foes. Autos parked in lots from Texas to Massachusetts have taken hits—some torched with Molotov cocktails, others riddled with bullets or tagged with swastikas.

Dealerships haven't dodged the chaos, windows smashed and walls defaced, while chargers stand as charred relics of quieter days. The FBI's call urges folks to keep eyes peeled near Tesla turf, a plea echoing from coast to coast as the tally of trashed property climbs.

This isn't a tale of random mischief. The spark ignites with Elon Musk, Tesla’s trailblazing chief, whose leap into Donald Trump’s administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has sliced through federal jobs like a hot knife.

Since January, his push to shrink bureaucracy has riled up a hornets’ nest—peaceful protests chant “Musk must go,” but darker threads weave through.

A Houston woman caught her Tesla’s cameras rolling as a figure in black keyed her ride in broad daylight, one of dozens snared on Sentry Mode clips nationwide.
