Another Shooting at Tesla Dealership, FBI Investigates
Another Shooting at Tesla Dealership, FBI Investigates
Police in Oregon are working with the FBI after gunshots were discovered at a Tesla dealership Thursday morning in the latest instance of vandalism against the carmaker.
Investigators think “at least seven shots were fired” at the building, resulting in hitting three cars total and a computer monitor, according to the Tigard Police Department, located just south of Portland.
Photos of the damage show shattered glass at the front of the building, a wall with bullet holes, as well as a damaged Cybertruck and another vehicle with a broken windshield.
“While the motivation for this has not been confirmed, we are aware of other Telsa dealerships that have been targeting across Oregon and the nation for political reasons,” Tigard police said.
According to investigators, Tesla employees showed up to work on Thursday and found the gunshot damage.
“Fortunately, this happened overnight when the property was unoccupied,” police said.
More attacks on Tesla dealerships
Recently, reports of vandalism and fires have been made at Tesla dealerships in multiple states.
A man was arrested Tuesday in connection to two separate incidents at a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon. The 41-year-old man is now facing a federal charge of illegally possessing an unregistered destructive device or Molotov cocktail.
Investigators working on the first incident on Jan. 20 found two fires at the dealership, including one in the back of a vehicle parked at the business. Witnesses reported seeing someone throw Molotov cocktails at the Tesla dealership and surveillance footage was also captured.
Tesla estimated the cost to be about $500,000, the Statesman Journal reported.
In another incident on Feb. 19, someone called Salem police about damaged windows at the same dealership. Officers found “projectiles believed to be spent bullets, bullet fragments, and several projectile impacts,” reported the Statesman Journal, citing court documents.
In Colorado, authorities arrested a woman on Feb. 24 for allegedly setting a Tesla dealership on fire. She was caught with more “incendiary devices” outside the dealership on Monday.
