Fremont Councilmember Yang Shao reported that his Tesla vehicle was vandalized, with someone having "keyed" the car, causing damage. This incident occurs amid a series of similar acts targeting Tesla vehicles and facilities, including arson and vandalism in Seattle's Capitol Hill and SoDo neighborhoods, as well as at a Lynnwood dealership. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell condemned these actions, emphasizing that while public anger exists, it does not justify illegal property destruction.
The damage to Councilmember Shao's vehicle also aligns with heightened controversy surrounding Tesla CEO Elon Musk, particularly due to his role within the current administration.
