I don't know, are we sure the Tesla didn't spontaneously combust? They're known to do that. Wouldn't want a manufacturing error pinned on an innocent person...

The most fucked up part of this is the fact that the FBI is involved. I'm old enough to remember a time when someone vandalizing a few cars in a lot at 3 in the morning when nobody was around would be a local PD issue, and not the fucking FBI. Seems like it was only a couple of months ago... man, time flies.
Seriously, though - in a normal world, this would be far below the payroll of FBI agents. They would spend their time investigating terrorist organizations or child traffickers and bounce this shit back to LVMPD and tell Tesla to file an insurance claim. Instead, the head of the FBI is the lackey of the president, who owes his position to the billionaire that owns Tesla, and so now the FBI is serving as Elon Musk's personal private investigators. It's disgusting.
Well they don't have to spend their issues on child trafficking anymore because the president supports it and has made extensive use of trafficked children.
And almost all of the domestic terrorist organizations support the government now, magically.
They just need something to do now singer crime is "solved" 🙃
Those times were 30 years ago as of tomorrow. Since Oklahoma, the FBI has been very interested in domestic political violence and terror.

Not super interested in the right wingers most of the time though
Some of those that work forces something something.
Actually 30 years ago as of a month and a day from now (April 19th, 1995). Still, there's a huge fucking difference between a little light arson and parking a van packed full of explosives in front of a federal building. This is property damage, not terrorism.

Teslas aren't selling, but playing the victim, pointing the finger, AND collection insurance? Even better.
I'm sure a few radicals are out there vandalizing a Tesla or two, but I don't believe for a second this isn't insurance fraud with a bonus of labelling people who speak out against you as domestic terrorists.
The "RESIST" graffiti is a dead giveaway; people with Fox-addled brians don't understand the difference between liberals and anarchists (the way insurance adjusters do)
Elon bought the cars in Canada and people figured it out. Now he has no other option than to make organized arson to claim insurance and recoup his losses.
Honestly, it would be funnier if someone sprayed them with muriatic acid. (Hydrochloride acid)
The damage to the metal is not fixable (as in, the rust can be cleaned away, but the damaged areas just keep re-rusting). It avoids the issue of insurance payments (just clean it, bro), and of burning the vehicles (releasing pollution). It basically marks the car for life, makes it unsellable, and, full offense, if someone buys one, they deserve a lifetime of annoying maintenance issues. Fuck their gleaming monument to fascism.
Ehhhh, that makes it a chemical terrorist attack. If it's not classified as that now, it will be the first time it's tried. Plus that's significantly more dangerous than a Molotov or a gun.

fuck yeah
Hell yeah, cleanse the filth with the holy flame!!!!!
This doesn't seem arson and vandalism to me. It's clearly a Roman wildfire and Roman artwork. I don't know why all these conservative snowflakes think that every drop of paint and fire at a Tesla dealership is a politically motivated attack. The paint and fire are clearly autistic, and just acting in the heat of the moment.
Love seeing this hurting FElon. I just hope people are checking these cars before the battery spontaneously combusts to ensure nobody is sleeping in one we don't want to give them any reason to turn this into a bigger deal by having a murder involved.
