A person armed with a gun and Molotov cocktails launched a "targeted attack" against a Tesla location in Las Vegas early Tuesday, spray-painting "resist," firing several shots and torching multiple cars, authorities said.
Gunshots and flames erupted at the Tesla Collision Center, at 6260 Badura Ave., at 2:45 a.m. in the latest violent incident involving property associated with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and adviser to President Donald Trump.
"This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility, " Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters. "We do believe that it is isolated at this time. We do not believe there is further threat to the general public."
The person wore all black and "used what appeared to be a Molotov cocktails and a firearm to conduct his attack," Koren said."At least five Tesla vehicles were damaged, to include two of which were engulfed in flames," Koren continued.
The attacker "fired three rounds into different Tesla vehicles," and at least one un-ignited Molotov cocktail was recovered from the scene, he said.
The word "RESIST" in all-capital letters was stray-pained in red on the center's doors.
Musk has been the point man for the Trump administration's attempts to drastically reduce federal programs with his Department of Government Efficiency.
Those efforts have coincided with a wave of vandalism nationally that appear to be targeting Tesla vehicles and facilities.
"This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong," Musk said in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which he bought in 2022. "Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks."
In a statement Tuesday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi called attacks on Tesla property "nothing short of domestic terrorism," saying the Justice Department has charged several people "with that in mind," including in cases that carry five-year minimum sentences.
"We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes," she said.
More police will be assigned to Tesla locations around Las Vegas, Koren said.
Special Agent Spencer Evans, chief of the FBI's Las Vegas office, said, "Violent acts like this are unacceptable."
"To those who might think that something like this is justifiable or potentially even admirable, we want to let you know it's a federal crime. We will come after you. We will find you," Evans said.
About 22 hours before the Las Vegas incident and 300 miles away near San Diego, sheriff's deputies drove by a Tesla dealership when "multiple cars were found with swastikas spray-painted on them," officials said.
"In addition, several windows of the dealership building had also been spray-painted with swastikas and profanity," the San Diego County Sheriff's Office said.
And in another overnight incident of suspected arson, police say, two Cybertrucks were damaged by fire at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri.
The FBI said it's working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Kansas City police to investigate the incident.
"Similar incidents have occurred in several states and the FBI and ATF are coordinating with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to gather information," the FBI's Kansas City office said in a statement Tuesday.
Some Tesla owners are posting the pictures of brokedown lefty criminals who key their cars.
Emotionally untethered leftists vandalizing Teslas across America are beginning to discover that cops in some places are taking this act of political vandalism seriously. Just ask the bushy-bearded, white-haired man wearing pro-America gear in San Jose or the dad-bod bearded man who may be on the FBI radar for his antics at an airport in Texas.
Tesla owners are striking back, providing social media sites -- and cops -- with inescapable proof of these emotional incontinents vandalizing the cars. Teslas have built-in cameras around the entire vehicle to capture images.

Tesla owners in Silicon Valley brought the receipts to San Jose, Calif., police about a man recorded while vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck at a Costco parking lot. He took his key and slid it down the side of the vehicle.
San Jose Police Chief Paul Joseph says his department found out about the political vandalism when it was highlighted on social media. After the vandalism went viral, they "identified, located, and arrested the individual responsible for this act of felony vandalism."

Jeff Nguyen's Tesla was vandalized at Dallas Fort Worth Airport on Friday, March 13. He brought receipts and begged the internet to ID the guy.
That report was highlighted by the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley group on X.
Trump Administration official, Rick Grennell, lateraled it over to FBI Director Kash Patel.
He also urged X sleuths to help solve the crime.
So far this DFW case is an unsolved mystery, but probably not for long.
You can see this Rick-Wilson-looking sadcuck in a video below.
Let's find this guy and put his old lefty ass in jail:
Lefties are defending the attacks on privately-owned Tesla videos, and calls for the assassination of Elon Musk, by saying that the left gets upset when you oppose them so it's "inevitable" there will be violent consequences for your political speech and actions and so it's just the height of "entitlement" to complain about it.
Weird, I don't remember nasty stinking revolutionary lefties admitting that the J6ers also had a right to a violent outlet for their political frustrations. It's only the left that has the right to terroristic violence.
