Police are searching for two suspects after a pair of Teslas were vandalized in separate incidents in a California community as attacks against the vehicles ramp up throughout the country.
A Tesla Cybertruck was parked in a neighborhood driveway when the suspect, clad in black clothing with a white face mask, approached the home and began casing the surrounding area around 4:20 a.m. on Saturday, according to the Novato Police Department.
Security footage shows the suspect returning to the home approximately one hour later, carrying a concrete rock and covering one of the truck’s cameras with duct tape.
The suspect proceeded to smash the windshield with the concrete rock and slash all four of the Cybertruck’s tires, police said. Before leaving, the suspect wrote a handwritten note to the owner, reading “replace all tires, unsafe to drive.”
Over the weekend, thousands of anti-Elon Musk protesters descended on cities throughout the world to participate in a “Global Day of Protest” targeting Tesla vehicles, showrooms and charging stations.
In light of the attacks, Bedell believes the vandals are misguided.
“All these people who have frustration against the government and Tesla and DOGE are taking it out on the wrong people,” Bedell said. “They’re taking it out on their neighbors. They’re taking it out on just working people. Most of these people are Democrats that even bought these EV vehicles.”
Tesla did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
