At least five Tesla vehicles in Las Vegas were damaged early Tuesday in a "targeted attack" with two vehicles fully engulfed in flames and others shot at with guns, authorities said. At around 2:45 a.m. local time, officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to multiple reports of Tesla vehicles being set on fire at a Tesla Collision Center.
Main Idea: Tesla vehicles were attacked in Las Vegas in what police called a targeted fire and shooting incident, and investigators are searching for the suspect.
Key Points:
Attacks on Tesla sites can scare workers and customers, raise security and repair costs, and fuel wider unrest around public protests.
