The FBI recently released video footage of a masked man the agency says is responsible for lighting a Washington state Tesla Supercharger station on fire, noting he may have injuries consistent with being near an “explosion.”
At about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, the man allegedly started a fire at a Tesla Supercharger located in the South Sound Center in Lacey.
Lacey Police Department officials confirmed in a statement it received multiple 911 calls reporting a loud noise in the area.
“The fire resulted in substantial damage to the station and surrounding area,” according to a statement from FBI Seattle.

The incidents, which involved arson, gunfire and vandalism, came after nationwide backlash to Tesla CEO Elon Musk being appointed by President Donald Trump as policy advisor for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Authorities are asking anyone near the Target and Kohl’s stores in the South Sound Center, as well as the Chehalis Western and Woodland Creek trails, to review any doorbell and security camera footage that may show the man getting into a car on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
