Authorities are on the lookout for two individuals after two separate Tesla vehicles were damaged in different events in a Californian community, as similar incidents against these cars rise nationwide.
A Tesla Cybertruck was stationed in a residential driveway when an individual dressed in black with a white face mask approached the location and began surveying the area around 4:20 a.m. on Saturday, as reported by the Novato Police Department.
Surveillance footage captures the individual returning to the residence about an hour later, equipped with a concrete rock and using duct tape to obscure one of the truck’s cameras.
The suspect proceeded to smash the windshield with the concrete rock and slash all four of the Cybertruck’s tires, police said. Before leaving, the suspect wrote a handwritten note to the owner, reading “replace all tires, unsafe to drive.”
Over the weekend, thousands of anti-Elon Musk protesters descended on cities throughout the world to participate in a “Global Day of Protest” targeting Tesla vehicles, showrooms and charging stations.
In light of the attacks, Bedell believes the vandals are misguided.
“All these people who have frustration against the government and Tesla and DOGE are taking it out on the wrong people,” Bedell said. “They’re taking it out on their neighbors. They’re taking it out on just working people. Most of these people are Democrats that even bought these EV vehicles.”
Tesla did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
