Tesla’s Colorado location has been hit by vandals and suspected arsonists for the third time. The incident occurred early Friday morning, as per a report from the Loveland Police Department. Officers arrived hours later to conduct initial investigations.
Graffiti and Damage
The building and surrounding vehicles were found covered in hateful and offensive graffiti. While police have not disclosed the specific phrases used, media outlets have shared images of cars with large Xs painted on their windshields. Additionally, the vandals wrote “NAZI CARS” on the outside of the dealership.
Previous Incidents and Ongoing Investigations
Similar vandalism events took place on January 29th and February 2nd at the same site. The local police are collaborating with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to investigate. They are urging anyone with information to come forward.
Elon Musk and Government Cuts
Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has become a prominent figure in the current government’s attempts to reduce federal spending. He has advocated for the elimination of federal agencies like USAID and has led layoffs of thousands of government workers, which has sparked strong reactions.
International Incidents
Tesla has also experienced attacks on its international stores. Just last week, a showroom in The Hague was defaced with insults, featuring terms like “Nazi” and “fascist,” along with swastika flags.
