Summary
Tesla facilities have faced multiple attacks, including arson, shootings, and vandalism, amid backlash against Elon Musk’s political role.
Since being appointed by Trump to lead DOGE, Musk has overseen deep federal workforce cuts and sparked public outrage.
Police report no direct links between attacks, but incidents include Molotov cocktails in Colorado, arson at charging stations near Boston, and gunfire at an Oregon dealership.
Tesla sales and Musk’s net worth have sharply declined. Experts warn cultural backlash may force Musk to step down from his government position.
The KIA EV9 is pretty reasonably priced for what you get. As far as I can tell it’s the only EV with a functional 3rd row that isn’t exclusively in the luxury category.
