A Tesla showroom in Tigard, Oregon, was shot up early Thursday morning. This is the second time in a week the location has been targeted.
The showroom on Southwest Cascade Ave. took between 10 and 15 gunshots. Both the building and several cars were hit, causing major damage. A security guard on patrol saw the destruction and called the police at around 4:15 a.m.

This same location was attacked on March 6, when seven bullets hit the building and three cars. That incident was linked to people protesting against Tesla and CEO Elon Musk.
More Attacks on Tesla Properties
This isn’t the only Tesla site that has been vandalized recently. Another showroom in Oregon was firebombed with a Molotov cocktail. In that case, police arrested a suspect.
For the Tigard attacks, officers still have no suspects or leads.
Government Response
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump said that any violence or vandalism against Tesla, its owners, or its property would be treated as domestic terrorism.
Tesla owners worldwide have reported more cases of their vehicles being damaged. Many believe these attacks are linked to opposition against Musk and his views.
