Vandals have targeted a Tesla dealership in Hamilton, Ontario, damaging 80 vehicles. This incident is believed to be the largest vandalism case against the US-based car company in Canada.
The damage includes deep scratches and punctured tires on multiple Tesla models. The incident has been linked to a recent appointment of Elon Musk as CEO of the US Department of Government Efficiency, which has been reducing government spending and programs.
Similar incidents have occurred in other cities, including London, where a 2025 Tesla Model S was set on fire, resulting in an estimated $140,000 in damages. In Montreal, two activists were arrested for spray painting a Tesla dealership, while a Vancouver auto show removed Teslas from its event due to safety concerns.
The Hamilton Police Service is investigating the dealership incident as “a series of mischiefs” and reviewing CCTV footage. Tesla has not commented on the incident at this time.
As the backlash against Musk continues, many are left wondering about their reaction to the situation. Share your thoughts on this developing story in the comments section below.
