Attorney General Pam Bondi accuses 3 Tesla vandals of 'domestic terrorism' after string of attacks | 20 March 2025 | Three people accused of destroying Tesla cars and charging stations are facing up to 20 years in prison for "domestic terrorism," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday. "The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended," Bondi said in a statement. "Let this be a warning: If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars," she added. The defendants -- whose cases are being brought in Colorado, Oregon, and South Carolina -- are accused of using high-powered weapons and explosives to destroy property belonging to the Elon Musk-owned car company, which has been targeted in recent weeks over his role in the Trump administration.
