In Lynnwood, near Seattle, on Tuesday, March 19, 2025. A woman driving a Tesla faced a masked man who approached her car. Her dashcam recorded it all, and now people are worried about Tesla owners being targeted.
The woman, named Leigh, is a mom from the Seattle area. She said another car followed her too close while she drove. Then it cut her off, making her stop. A man got out, dressed in camouflage and a face covering. The dashcam caught him yelling at her to sell her Tesla, calling it a “Nazi” car. He left after the short argument.
Victim’s response
Leigh told local news she felt scared.
“It was terrifying—he came out of nowhere and was so aggressive,”
she said. She called the Lynnwood police right away. They’re looking into it, but no one knows yet if they found the man.
Public Reaction
The video spread online. It shows the masked man pointing and shouting at Leigh’s car. Some think he acted out because he doesn’t like Tesla or its CEO, Elon Musk.

Police haven’t said much about the case. Leigh and other Tesla owners nearby feel uneasy now. This odd road rage event seems aimed at one car brand, which doesn’t happen often.
There’s no new word on the investigation. Police want anyone with info about the man to contact them.
