Incendiary Devices Found at Austin Tesla Dealership, Investigation Underway

On Monday morning, the Austin Police Department responded to a call regarding suspicious devices at a Tesla dealership, determining them to be incendiary. The devices were safely taken into custody by the APD Bomb Squad without incident. This incident occurs amid a surge of vandalism and protests targeting Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk, particularly in response to Musk's involvement with the Trump administration. Recent nationwide protests, including those outside the Austin showroom, have been peaceful, but there is an increasing concern over violent acts against Tesla properties, prompting investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice. Officials have labeled these actions as domestic terrorism due to the severity of the attacks. The investigation into the incendiary devices found at the Austin dealership is ongoing.
