Tesla Vehicles Targeted in Suspected Arson Attack at Las Vegas Service Center

Las Vegas, NV – March 18, 2025 Authorities in Las Vegas are investigating a brazen arson attack after multiple Tesla vehicles were set ablaze at a company service center in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The incident, reported around 3:00 a.m. local time, has raised questions about motive, with the word "resist" found spray-painted on the facility’s exterior, hinting at a possible political undertone.

Firefighters responded swiftly to the scene, extinguishing the flames that engulfed several electric vehicles parked at the site. No injuries were reported, but the damage to the property and vehicles is estimated to be significant. Law enforcement officials have classified the fire as intentional, launching a full investigation to identify the perpetrators and determine the precise circumstances surrounding the act.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to social media to condemn the incident, labeling it an act of "terrorism" targeting his company. Musk’s statement comes amid heightened scrutiny of his polarizing public persona, including his outspoken political views and recent endorsements that have sparked both support and backlash. While investigators have not yet confirmed a definitive motive, the graffiti left at the scene has fueled speculation of a link to Musk’s controversial stances.

Local police have declined to provide further details pending forensic analysis and witness interviews, though they are appealing to the public for information. Security footage from the service center is reportedly under review as part of the ongoing probe.
