A recent survey reveals that over 40 percent of Tesla owners say they have experienced vandalism targeting their vehicles, but less than 20 percent regret buying a car from Elon Musk.
Kelley Blue Book reports that a new study conducted by Guardian Service, a company specializing in helping consumers find insurance plans, has found that a significant portion of Tesla owners are facing vandalism and targeted hostility. The survey, which polled 508 Tesla owners, aimed to shed light on how these incidents, coupled with rising insurance costs, are reshaping the EV ownership experience in America.
According to the findings, 40 percent of Tesla owners reported that their vehicles had been intentionally damaged, with the average cost of repairs amounting to $1,900. The study, conducted in April 2025, reflects the impact of recent acts of domestic terrorism and political violence aimed at Elon Musk for supporting President Donald Trump. Ironically, acts of vandalism against Tesla EVs is almost always leftists attacking their own side, as leftists remain the overwhelming target market for Musk’s EVs.

No one in a blue state will prosecute
Or filled with explosives
Start painting the vandals as fossil fuel fanatics opposing cleaner energy.
"Always obey the edicts of the ideology.""Never doubt the cause."
"Never examine yourself, your actions, or the cause."
Someday soon there is going to be a retribution, and Subarus are going to take a beating.
If hate can influence sentencing then the Justice Department needs to get creative to thwart this political crap
Government should set up a fund to reimburse terror victims 10x their losses for this targeted terror campaign.
It would make the Democrat campaign backfire, and the crime would stop.
If the organizers can be identified (Soros?), they can be made to reimburse the fund.
Part of the problem is that the market for people who wanted to buy Teslas in the first place is also the areas where more crazy people with no self control (progressives) live. It's not like a blue state crazy has to go find to find a Tesla.
Musk should sue every vandal for every penny they have. These aren’t random crimes. They are intentional, political and criminal acts designed to hurt his brand and the company’s stockholders. Bankrupt every single one of them, especially the ones the local DAs gave a wrist slap to.
I don’t believe that 40% of Tesla owners have had their cars vandalized. Maybe 4.0%. If it was 40%, that would be worthy of local and national news.
I have one of those, except for the self-driving part.
The self that drives it is me.
Hardly any coverage from the MSM.
Make this TERRORISM a FEDERAL crime!
