Several Tesla vehicles set on fire in Las Vegas

Several Tesla vehicles were set on fire last night on Tuesday in Las Vegas, turning these parked vehicles into large flames, adding another arson into a series of attacks against the electric vehicle (EV) maker.

According to police, the fire was reported at about 2:45 a.m. at the Tesla Collision Center in the 6000 block of West Badura Avenue. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating this case and revealed that an individual has set this fire on the vehicles at the location.

“Communications received information that an individual had set several vehicles on fire in the parking lot and caused damage to the property” the department told media in a statement.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla has also reacted to this arson attack “The level of violence is insane and deeply wrong. Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”

The latest attack is an addition to various activities that are taking place against the EV maker after its CEO’s involvement in Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE, a Trump administration initiative to cut federal funding and remove unnecessary workforce.

Earlier this month, a Supercharger in Littleton, Massachusetts was also set on fire, destroying around six of the charging posts at the location. Moreover, Tesla owners’ vehicles are being vandalized by random people on the road and public places.

Police will share more information about this Tesla fire soon.
