Wild video shows a row of Tesla cars ablaze at a Las Vegas service center in what cops are investigating as arson.
A number of the high-end electric vehicles were seen completely engulfed in the early hours of Tuesday — with one bursting into a huge fireball seemingly from a lithium battery inside one exploding, according to footage obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Cops confirmed they were treating the attack as arson, with pictures showing someone had scrawled “RESIST” in giant red letters across the Tesla Collision Center in Enterprise, just a few miles from the Vegas Strip.
“Communications received information that an individual had set several vehicles on fire in the parking lot and caused damage to the property,” the department said in an emailed statement.
Police did not directly tie the attack to Tesla mogul Elon Musk, but it comes after a series of other attacks targeting the world’s richest man for his work helping President Trump cut costs as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Tesla did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
