The Federal Bureau of Investigation has released a public service announcement warning Americans to “exercise vigilance and to look out for suspicious activity in areas occupied by Tesla dealerships or Tesla-related entities.”
The warning comes amid a surge in far-left activists engaging in arson, gunfire, and vandalism against Telsa vehicles, dealerships, storage lots, and charging stations.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is informing the public of recent nationwide incidents targeting Tesla electric vehicles (EV), dealerships, storage lots, and charging stations,” the FBI’s warning said.
The announcement continued, “Since January 2025, incidents targeting Tesla EVs have occurred in at least nine states. These incidents have involved arson, gunfire, and vandalism, including graffiti expressing grievances against those the perpetrators perceive to be racists, fascists, or political opponents. These criminal actions appear to have been conducted by lone offenders, and all known incidents occurred at night.”
The Tesla attacks are getting worse.

The FBI noted that the individuals targeting Tesla “require little planning to use rudimentary tactics, such as improvised incendiary devices and firearms, and may perceive these attacks as victimless property crimes.”

The warning listed possible threat activities as:
- Violent threats made online referencing specific Tesla properties
- Inquiring or examining security measures at Tesla dealerships
- Photography of security-related equipment or personnel at Tesla dealerships
- Unusual surveillance or interest in Tesla-related entities
- Attempts to gain access to restricted areas or bypass security measures at Tesla-related properties
The agency encouraged citizens with information about threats to contact their local FBI field office, call 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324), or submit tips online at tips.fbi.gov.
Though Tesla makes electric vehicles, something long championed by the left, they have become a target of activists due to founder Elon Musk’s conservative politics, close relationship with President Donald Trump, and handling of the Department of Government Efficiency.
