Four Tesla Cybertrucks catch fire in Seattle, journalist assaulted with a knife
In a shocking turn of events, a fire broke out at a secured lot near 2nd Avenue and Spokane Street in Seattle, Washington, around 11 p.m. Four Tesla Cybertrucks were completely destroyed in the blaze.
The Seattle Fire Department swiftly contained the fire, with their Energy Response Team called in to manage potential secondary ignition hazards from the batteries in the vehicles.
The exact cause of the fire is currently under investigation. However, based on recent events across the U.S., the chances of the fire being intentional are high.
The incident at the Seattle storage lot is not an isolated case. Tesla vehicles and facilities in the U.S. have been vandalized, Superchargers have been set on fire, and some stores have been targeted with gunfire multiple times in recent weeks.
In a related incident, reporter Luke Duecy was confronted by an unidentified man wielding a knife at the scene. The encounter was described as a "scary moment." It remains unclear if the individual had any connection to the storage lot or the fire.
The violence toward Tesla is occurring amid heightened protests against Elon Musk's role in the federal government as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the Trump administration. Demonstrations have taken place at several locations over the past few weeks, in relation to these protests.
Investigations suggest that the suspected perpetrators behind actions against Tesla vehicles and facilities in the United States are politically motivated and potentially extremist groups. The incident in Seattle is the latest in a string of attacks on Tesla.
As the investigations continue, the Seattle Police Department is reviewing the incident involving Luke Duecy and the unidentified man. It is unclear if the individual who confronted the reporter at the scene had any connection to the storage lot or the fire.
In a separate but related development, a Tesla dealership in Tigard, Oregon, was hit by gunfire last week, damaging multiple vehicles. It's a reminder of the escalating tensions surrounding Tesla in the U.S.
