Tesla Vandalism
There’s an unsettling trend happening across the United States that seems to keep targeting Tesla vehicles, particularly the Cybertruck. The latest incident took place in Kentwood, Michigan, where vandals spray-painted five Cybertrucks parked outside a mall. The graffiti included messages like “Nazis always lose,” an apparent jibe aimed at Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk.
Incidents
Two individuals of interest were captured on security cameras and are believed to be involved in the vandalism act. The local police are actively seeking the public’s assistance in identifying these suspects to bring them in for questioning. This is one of several recent cases where Tesla’s Cybertrucks and other electric vehicles have been defaced with offensive slogans.
Other Attacks
Similar vandalism instances have been reported in other cities, including New York, where a Cybertruck was defaced with a swastika. Even Tesla’s facilities are not safe from these attacks, as a recent case in Grand Rapids involved damage to a window at one of their manufacturing sites.
Response
The local authorities are not taking these offenses lightly. In Ohio, a sheriff has issued stern warnings that anyone caught vandalizing Tesla vehicles could face severe penalties, including jail time. This spate of vandalism has put a spotlight on the broader societal tensions surrounding Musk’s public standing and the sometimes polarizing nature of Tesla’s brand.
Despite these issues, Tesla owners and enthusiasts remain undeterred, appreciating the resilience and performance of their vehicles. It’s important that any witnesses or individuals with information step forward to assist the ongoing investigations and curb these acts of vandalism.
