Tesla Retail Outlet in Oregon Suffers Gun Attack, Second Such Incident in a Monthly Span
In the past month, a series of vandalism and violence incidents have targeted Tesla stores across North America. The latest attack occurred at a Tesla store in Salem, Oregon, just over four weeks after an arson attack on the same store.
The incidents in Salem, Oregon, and Colorado, as well as repeated vandalism of Tesla stores and service centers in Canada, have included profanity-laced graffiti, references to Nazis and Mazi imagery, and attempted arson. In the Salem attack, gunfire shattered multiple windows, while in the previous arson attack, a vehicle was set ablaze and another window was broken.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the Salem incidents to come forward by contacting the police tip line at 503-588-8477. The Salem Police Department, FBI, and ATF are jointly investigating these incidents.
The FBI's involvement in these investigations has raised questions about the severity and motivations behind the attacks. The FBI's standard practice is to assist local agencies with their expertise or tools, if it can benefit an investigation. However, the search results do not provide the name of the FBI personnel who joined the investigation of the attacks on the Tesla dealer in Salem, Oregon.
Despite the ongoing investigations, no arrests have been made in connection with the attacks. While there have been no confirmed political links to the attacks, they are seen as part of a broader backlash against Tesla CEO Elon Musk's political affiliations and influence on government policy.
These incidents coincide with increased tensions surrounding Musk's involvement in the U.S. government. As the investigations continue, it remains to be seen whether these attacks are isolated incidents or part of a larger pattern of opposition to Tesla and Musk.
As the situation develops, updates will be provided regarding the investigations and any potential developments.
