Attack of 80 Tesla vehicles in Canadian parking lot leaves cars vandalized and tires slashed

A string of malicious incidents involving Tesla vehicles continues to unfold. The latest intriguing case occurred at a Tesla showroom in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Approximately 80 Tesla cars in the showroom parking lot were scratched with marks and had their tires deflated.

Hamilton city police have stated that they are investigating and gathering information from surveillance cameras to apprehend the perpetrators. While the incident may not have escalated to the extent of setting the cars on fire, it is likely the largest case of Tesla vehicle vandalism to date.

While protests at Tesla showrooms in the United States may be politically motivated, this case in Canada adds an international political dimension. This is due to the ongoing political tension between the governments of Elon Musk’s Tesla and Donald Trump’s administration, which has imposed tariffs on Canada and made statements implying Canadian subservience to the United States.

Electrek website commented that despite the significant number of vehicles vandalized, up to 80 cars, this event is unlikely to have a substantial impact on Tesla’s business. The affected cars were showroom models and Tesla’s sales in Canada have been struggling.

TLDR: Multiple Tesla vehicles were vandalized at a showroom in Canada, possibly linked to international political tensions, but unlikely to significantly affect Tesla’s business.
