Dozens of Tesla vehicles were damaged at a dealership in Ontario, Canada, Hamilton Police Service (HPS) confirmed to Fox News Digital. Authorities said that the incident occurred overnight on March 18, and that the "damage included deep scratches and punctured tires."
HPS told Fox News Digital that officers are still working on getting footage from the Tesla vehicles as, "some vehicle camera systems were recording during the mischief incident." They were also able to obtain "limited" footage from the area. As of Saturday, it was still too early in the investigation for HPS to determine a motive or how many people were involved. HPS said they do not have any suspects.
The night before this incident, police in London, Ontario, were reportedly called to the scene of a fire that is allegedly being investigated as suspicious. On March 17, a Tesla was set on fire, causing an estimated $140,000 in damage, London Police Service said in a press release.
Vandalism and attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships have been on the rise over the last few weeks. Many of the attacks appear to be politically motivated acts against Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk due to his work with the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Trump administration began cracking down on Tesla vandals earlier this week, with Attorney General Pam Bondi saying the string of attacks was "nothing short of domestic terrorism." She vowed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would "continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks."
On Thursday, the DOJ announced that three individuals were charged in connection with the "violent destruction of Tesla properties." The defendants face charges that carry a minimum penalty of 5 years in prison, but could face up to 20 years behind bars.

Probably safer for the terrorists to do that in Canada, rather than the US.
Canada has never been an ally and it has mistaken our forbearance towards them as an entitlement. I think at this point it would be good if their economy was crushed.
It's a head-scratcher, alright.
Their horses are closer to solving the case than they are.
Time to bring in Columbo to figure it out.
From nationwide to international, the feds better get on this or an American corporation could fall to terrorism, or people could be killed.
I see this as truly serious business.
Time for Blondie to go on Fox News and threaten the terrorists with stiff fines.
This might be a bit off base but this is more criminal than anything else... and the entrenchment of criminal activity is a far bigger problem in Canada than most Canadians are remotely aware of or will want to admit.
Ontario? Good chance these criminals are Detroit car thieves that came over from the tunnel or bridge over the Detroit River. If the Tesla cameras caught any decent pictures they will be caught especially if they wait a day or so. These border guards don’t mess around at least the times I’ve been there no matter which side you’re on.
Eventually one of these Tesla stories is going to have a very happy ending...
The THREAT of a five year prison sentence is not deterrence. It hasn’t worked yet, Pam.
Impose tariff on Canada equal to the highest tariffs Canada charges on some imports from US. Reciprocity is fair, right?
I don’t effing get it? Where are the security guards? Or is the owner of the car dealership purposely ignoring the threat to collect the insurance money? It’s becoming more and more suspicious with every fire bombing. And not one clear picture of the terrorist?
I guess the Canadians must be upset with Federal employees being laid off by DOGE.
As I was on my riding lawn mower this morning cutting grass, I began to wonder why the right wing crazies haven’t taken some action against those who are advocating violence and destruction against Trump, Musk, Tesla and their supporters.
Every Tesla dealership should be surrounded by deputized freedom lovers armed and ready to rock.
“some vehicle camera systems were recording during the mischief incident.”
Punk round up to ensue.
HPS (whoever that is) must be full of morons.
