Tesla vehicles have faced increased vandalism amid backlash against Elon Musk, particularly due to his association with President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency. The Vancouver International Auto Show excluded Tesla from its event this week following safety concerns over attacks on its electric vehicles. Both Trump and Musk have labeled these attacks as "domestic terrorism," with the U.S. Attorney General announcing charges against perpetrators and promising severe consequences. A website called "Dogequest," which allegedly published Tesla owners' personal information to intimidate them, has been taken down. This controversy coincides with nationwide "Tesla Takedown" protests, including incidents like the vandalism of 34 Cybertrucks in Florida.
