The Tesla Collision Center, which services and repairs electric vehicles, has not issued an official statement.
News 3 has reached out to Tesla for comment, but no response has been received at this time.
In a similar case, the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department is investigating a fire at a Tesla dealership on State Line Road.
Shortly before midnight on Monday, a patrol officer spotted a Tesla Cybertruck engulfed in flames.
By the time firefighters from the Kansas City Fire Department arrived, the fire had spread to a second Cybertruck parked nearby. Both vehicles sustained significant damage.
Due to the suspicious nature of the fire, the department’s Bomb and Arson Unit has been called in to assist in the investigation.
Police have not yet determined a cause but suspect the fire was deliberately set.

These incidents follow a pattern of recent vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations in multiple states.
Similar cases have been reported in Oregon and Washington, raising concerns about whether Tesla properties are being specifically targeted.
Some of these incidents have occurred during protests against Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, with demonstrators objecting to his public support of President Donald Trump.

This is LITERALLY domestic terrorism. They are attacking @elonmusk and his companies because they don’t like his politics.
Democratic leaders as a whole are quiet. It seems the Democratic Party is okay with domestic terrorism as long as it serves their agenda. pic.twitter.com/RnMO6LiucR
