A Tesla store in Tigard, Oregon, was shot at and vandalized early Thursday morning. The attack happened around 2:00 am on March 6.
Police say employees found the damage when they arrived at work. Investigators believe at least seven shots were fired. Three cars were hit, and windows were shattered. One bullet went through an office wall and hit a computer monitor. No one was inside at the time.
Police are collecting evidence, including security footage. They have not shared a motive. However, they acknowledge other Tesla locations have been targeted in Oregon and across the country.
Tesla Locations Under Attack
This isn’t the first attack on Tesla. Across the U.S. and in other countries, Tesla stores and charging stations have been vandalized or set on fire.
In France, about a dozen Tesla cars were torched near Toulouse. In Massachusetts, some Superchargers were burned near a shopping center. There have also been protests against Tesla in different locations.
Ongoing Investigations
Authorities have not confirmed why these attacks are happening. Investigations are still underway.
But many people blame Elon Musk. He has faced backlash in the U.S. and Europe, and Tesla is taking the hit.
