The FBI is reportedly looking for duo who set a Tesla on fire on Capitol Hill

Seattle, WALocal News

The FBI is actively investigating a series of vandalism incidents that have targeted Tesla vehicles, with a notable case involving arson in Capitol Hill, Seattle. A 2022 Model S was set on fire, leading to significant damage and prompting an FBI alert. The incidents have included acts of vandalism, gunfire, and graffiti, often driven by political motivations against figures like Elon Musk. Witnesses reported two suspects fleeing the scene, and police recovered a gas can left behind, but no arrests have been made. The FBI has indicated that these attacks are conducted by lone offenders and typically occur at night.

This wave of violence against Tesla vehicles has been linked to broader frustrations over government efficiency cuts and Musk's political influence. A federal task force has been formed to investigate, though the extent of resources allocated to the Seattle office remains uncertain. The FBI has emphasized its commitment to addressing acts of violence and vandalism with full legal force.
