Was a Missouri Tesla Dealership Targeted with Fire?

There has been a visceral backlash against all things Elon Musk over the last few months. The latest way this perspective is being expressed is by focusing anger toward Musk’s car, the Tesla.

There have been demonstrations at dealerships and some dealerships have been targeted and vandalized. In Kansas City on State Line Road a Tesla Dealership had a couple Cyber Trucks catch fire Monday night.

Kansas City Police and Fire Departments are still investigating to find if this was arson or if there was a problem with the vehicle’s battery.

Tesla dealerships, charging stations and the cars and trucks themselves across the country have been triggering violent responses from those that don’t like Elon Musk’s role in the newly appointed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.)

Others that aren’t inclined to the destruction of property are actively trying to sell their Tesla’s. Famously, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly announced that he was getting rid of his Tesla and buying a Chevy Tahoe instead.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says the US Department of Justice will be investigating the spate of attacks on Tesla dealerships, charging stations and vehicles.
