The FBI is now investigating an arson attack on the Tesla Collision Center in Las Vegas the resulted in numerous Tesla EVs vehicles being fully engulfed in flames on Tuesday. According to authorities, the incident was a “targeted attack” on Tesla using molotov cocktails. Las Vegas police said the attacker used Molotov cocktails and shot rounds into vehicles at the Tesla Collision Center, according to a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility,” Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren said. “We do believe that it is isolated at this time.” Koren also noted that, for precaution, the Metropolitan Police Department had increased its presence at Tesla-related locations in the area. “Violent acts like this are unacceptable, regardless of where they occur,” Evans said during a news briefing. The FBI agent also urged those thinking of carrying out similar attacks to “seriously reconsider,” warning them that this is “a federal crime.” In a separate incident that same weekend, four Tesla Cybertrucks were damaged or destroyed in a fire at a parking lot in Seattle on Sunday night, sparking questions as to whether it was an arson attack aimed at Musk. The incident is still under investigation. These incidents come after a Tesla Cybertruck was seen fully engulfed in flames in front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, on New Year’s Day, with authorities calling the incident an “active crime scene.” “Other Tesla dealerships around the country have been the targets of destruction and gunfire,” Las Vegas Review-Journal noted, citing gunshots being fired at an Oregon Tesla dealership on Thursday for the second time in a week, and two people being arrested in connection with a series of vandalism attacks at a Colorado Tesla dealership.
