NYPD Seeks Suspect for Hate Crime Against Tesla

A woman is being sought by the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force for allegedly placing a brick with a swastika and the word 'Nazi' on a Tesla Cybertruck in Brooklyn's Jewish community. The incident, considered a hate crime, occurred on Ditmas Avenue, where the woman also dumped trash on the vehicle before fleeing on a scooter. This is part of a broader pattern of vandalism against Tesla vehicles, linked to backlash against CEO Elon Musk's political role as head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration. Similar incidents have been reported, including vandalism with swastikas and anti-Musk messages on Teslas in other areas. No injuries were reported, and the NYPD is urging the public to provide any information that might lead to an arrest. The FBI has also noted an increase in attacks on Tesla vehicles across the country, which they have labeled as domestic terrorism.
