Multiple incendiary devices were discovered at a Tesla showroom in Austin early Monday morning following an anonymous tip to local police, marking the latest in a string of attacks targeting the electric vehicle company’s properties across the United States.
The Austin Police Department responded to the scene shortly after 8 a.m. and, upon locating the suspicious devices, called in the Bomb Squad, which safely secured them without incident.
No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been made as authorities continue their investigation.
According to Dail Mail, this incident is part of a troubling nationwide trend. In recent weeks, Tesla dealerships and vehicles have been vandalised, set ablaze, or fired upon in at least nine states, prompting federal intervention.
The FBI has formed a joint task force with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to investigate the escalating threats and acts of violence against the company.
The surge in attacks coincides with Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump’s administration.
Musk’s aggressive cost-cutting measures, including widespread federal layoffs aimed at reducing government waste, have drawn backlash, with some critics linking the protests to the violent incidents targeting Tesla.
In response, Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced severe penalties for those involved, including prison sentences ranging from five to 20 years for convicted perpetrators.
President Donald Trump condemned the attacks, calling them “acts of domestic terrorism” and vowing to hold those responsible accountable. The Department of Justice reinforced the administration’s stance, pledging to “end the violence against Tesla and ensure the safety of its employees and customers.”
Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity near Tesla facilities as the investigation continues.
