A Tesla service center in Las Vegas became the target of a shocking early-morning attack on March 18, with five electric vehicles torched and riddled with bullets. Authorities are treating the incident as domestic terrorism after the suspect used Molotov cocktails, a firearm, and spray-painted “RESIST” on the building’s entrance.
Local firefighters rushed to extinguish the blaze, which caused extensive damage. “This was a coordinated, violent act intended to instill fear,” a police spokesperson said. Investigators are analyzing security footage and seeking witnesses to track down the perpetrator.
Tesla, known for its eco-friendly innovations , has yet to comment publicly. The attack has sparked online debates about the motives behind the vandalism, with some linking the “RESIST” graffiti to broader social tensions.
While no injuries were reported, the incident highlights growing concerns about high-profile corporate targets becoming symbols in ideological conflicts. Think ‘Fight Club’ meets climate activism gone wrong —except this is real life.
