The FBI said on March 22 that Americans should be wary of individuals who may try to target Tesla dealerships and vehicles as a rash of arson and vandalism persists.

In a post on social media platform X, the bureau warned Americans to employ “vigilance and awareness around Tesla locations” amid a series of “nationwide incidents” including “arson, gunfire, and vandalism targeting Tesla EVs, dealerships, and charging stations” in at least nine states.
