An Arizona woman claimed she was boxed in on a busy highway and beaten up by another driver who targeted her for driving a Tesla.
The 61-year-old woman, who goes by Susan, told Arizona's Family that she driving was along Route 66 in Flagstaff on March 18 when another vehicle started chasing her.
Shocking footage of the attack showed the green car pulling up next to Susan's Tesla, then swerving in front to box her in.
The driver of the green car approached Susan while she was still at the wheel, then allegedly started attacking her.
'I started to say, you cut me off what's your problem, but I didn't know how much he heard me,' said Susan. 'He got out and started to punch me with a closed fist.'
Susan claimed she bit the man's hand during the attack. A few minutes later, the passenger of the green car pulled the attacker away and got them to drive off.
Flagstaff police told the local news outlet that the driver of the green car was cited and is due in court on Monday.
It's unclear what events caused the physical altercation, but the woman believes that she was targeted because she was driving a car made by Elon Musk's company.
'I'm just appalled. I didn't buy my car for a political statement. I bought my car because its really fun to drive,' Susan said.
'My politics have nothing to do with that. I'm ashamed of our society and what they are doing.'
It is the latest in a slew of incidents of Tesla drivers being targeted, threatened and attacked as backlash towards the company's billionaire owner, Elon Musk.
Attacks on property carrying the logo of Musk’s electric-car company are cropping up across the US and overseas.

Drive a Tesla?
Get a gun.
Shoot.
One of these times, the TESLA driver will be traveling with a firearm and the event will not end well.
Shoot
Shovel and
Shut up, Honey
The Democrat Party needs to go out of business.
Unfortunately those who would be traveling with a gun usually don’t drive a Tesla
The 2nd woman used the term “deplorable” LOL
In our little town of 3,000, there are maybe two TESLAs.
I find it a bit humorous that they are owned by the town’s biggest Libs.
see my post #8
Democrats own this hatred.
Put one, or two, of these ‘tough guys’ on the ground with .45 inch holes in their belly in each state and this ‘stuff’ will stop PDQ!
It is time for Americans to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights since those rights shall not be infringed.
No bail! Shouldn't that be domestic Terrorism?
cited? should have been sighted and dispatched.
No name available, apparently.
Agreed the DNC needs a stake driven thru its heart sadly the GOP is more interested in kissing donkey hindquarter than destroying the DNC😕.
Somebody physically attacks me for their perception of my politics, while I'm armed.
Bang ... bang, bang, bang ... bang. Oh well.
61 is “elderly” now? I’m 61. Sheeesh.
Yep. My truck gun is a Taurus Judge. Loaded with #6 birdshot. 270 pellets per round.
I imagine 61 years in the hot Arizona sun would make a person look old, LOL
