Seven Tesla charging stations were intentionally set on fire at a shopping center outside Boston, the latest in a series of attacks against the electric vehicle company since owner Elon Musk built a relationship with President Trump. The police in Littleton, Massachusetts reported that the charging stations were set on fire around 1:10 a.m., with the power being shut down to prevent further damage. Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident.
Protests and vandalism against Tesla showrooms and dealerships have been on the rise since Mr. Musk aligned himself with President Trump and his agenda. Federal prosecutors recently charged a Colorado resident with malicious destruction of property after she spray painted the word “Nazi” on the side of a Tesla dealership and planted an incendiary device near a vehicle.
Despite the backlash, Teslas remain popular in the United States, with some car owners expressing support for Mr. Musk by purchasing the vehicles. However, some are choosing to sell their Teslas to distance themselves from the controversial CEO. The attacks on Tesla charging stations and the backlash against the company reflect the divide among Americans on issues related to politics and business leaders.
