A 29-year-old man has been arrested in connection with vandalism at a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado, on March 7. The suspect is accused of using an “incendiary device” and was charged with second-degree arson, criminal mischief, and other crimes.
The arrest comes after another individual was previously charged with igniting Molotov cocktails at the same dealership earlier this year. The motive behind the vandalism remains unknown.
Tesla dealerships have been targeted by protesters and vandals in various US cities, including Colorado and Oregon, amidst controversy surrounding CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration.
In recent weeks, Tesla has faced similar incidents, including a shooting at a dealership in Oregon and a fire that destroyed four Cybertrucks in Seattle. However, investigators have not confirmed whether these incidents were intentionally set.
