<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The latest suspicious incident occurred overnight in Dedham, Massachusetts, where three Teslas were vandalized, according to the Dedham Police Department. Officials said &#8220;words had been spray-painted&#8221; on two Tesla Cyber-trucks, with all four tires of the trucks and a Tesla Model S being &#8220;reportedly damaged.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Teslas were also damaged in Seattle on Sunday night, where crews had to extinguish a fire involving four electric vehicles, according to the Seattle Fire Department. Officials said other vehicles were moved away to prevent the spreading of the fire.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">There were no buildings involved in the fire nor any injuries, according to the fire department.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The Seattle Police Department said the cause of the fire and whether or not foul play was a factor has not been determined. Other incidents in the U.S. were deliberately aimed at the company and it&#8217;s chief executive.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Six Teslas were also vandalized at a Tesla dealership in Lynnwood, Washington, on Saturday, with one black Tesla Cyber-truck graffitied with swastikas, according to the Lynnwood Police Department.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">A Tesla charging station in South Carolina was targeted on Friday, where an unknown individual spray-painted an expletive directed at President Donald Trump along with &#8220;LONG LIVE UKRAINE&#8221; on the ground in red paint and threw homemade Molotov cocktails at the station, according to the North Charleston Police Department.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The suspect fled on foot before authorities arrived on the scene, police said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Police &#8220;cut the power to the three charging stations that were burned by the homemade Molotov Cocktails,&#8221; officials said in a statement.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">There have been no arrests made for this attack, police said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Similarly, seven Tesla charging stations sustained heavy fire-related damage in <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/arsonist-sets-fire-tesla-charging-stations-police/story?id=119417919" target="_blank">Massachusetts</a> on March 3, according to the Littleton Police Department. Officials determined the fires to be &#8220;deliberately&#8221; set, and the investigation is still ongoing to find the arsonist.</p>

<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Shots were also fired at at Tesla dealership in Tigard, Oregon, where seven bullets damaged three cars and shattered windows on March 6, according to the Tigard Police Department.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Police said they are unaware of the motive of this specific incident, but were aware that &#8220;other Tesla dealerships have been targeted across Oregon and the nation for political reasons.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">On March 2, another Tesla dealership was spray-painted in Owings Mills, Maryland, where &#8220;NO MUSK&#8221; was written in red spray paint on the windows, followed by a symbol police originally thought was antisemitic.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;The graffiti was instead used against Elon Musk, and the graffiti was an &#8216;X&#8217; inside of a circle, which we assume is for Twitter, which Musk owns,&#8221; Detective Anthony Shelton said in a statement obtained by Baltimore, Maryland, ABC affiliate <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://www.wmar2news.com/local/musk-critics-vandalize-owings-mills-tesla-dealership-with-antisemitic-graffiti#google_vignette" target="_blank">WMAR</a>.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Another incendiary event occurred in <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-caught-plant-explosive-devices-tesla-dealership/story?id=119244251" target="_blank">Colorado</a>, where a woman was arrested on Feb. 27 after police caught her with explosives at a Tesla dealership, according to the Loveland Police Department. Lucy Grace Nelson, 40, was arrested after police launched an investigation following a series of vandalizations at the Tesla dealership, police said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Nelson was charged with explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony, authorities said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Protests against Tesla have also occurred at dealerships nationwide. Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs told ABC News the demonstrations and the company&#8217;s plummeting stocks — which have tumbled nearly 48% this year — can all &#8220;be tied to [Musk&#8217;s] time at DOGE.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;It has been a distraction for the company and it&#8217;s been a problem for the brand,&#8221; Frerichs said.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Amid the crime sprees and protests, some Tesla owners have even placed stickers on their vehicles that read, &#8220;I bought this before Elon went crazy,&#8221; <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/video/tesla-stock-continues-fall-protesters-target-dealerships-119666176">ABC News reported.</a></p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Trump said on Truth Social on Monday night that he is in support of Musk and is going to &#8220;buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Musk, the owner of X, has reposted some reactions that criticized the attacks and called the incident in Seattle &#8220;crazy.&#8221;</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene labeled the vandalisms as &#8220;domestic terrorism&#8221; and urged U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to &#8220;prioritize a thorough investigation into these matters&#8221; in a <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1899822866666852843/photo/1" target="_blank">letter posted to X</a> on Wednesday.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">&#8220;These attacks, which seem to involve coordinated acts of vandalism, arson and other acts of violence, seriously threaten public safety,&#8221; Greene said in a letter posted to X.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN ">A spokesperson for Tesla did not immediately respond to ABC News&#8217; request for comment.</p>
