A Tesla showroom in Oregon has gotten shot up by gunfire for the second time in a week, police say.

The Tesla showroom located on Southwest Cascade Ave. in Tigard, Oregon, was riddled with gunfire sometime in the early morning hours on Thursday.

Police received a call and responded to the location at about 4:15 a.m. local time; a security guard contacted law enforcement after noticing damage while patrolling the area.

Police said to FOX12, a local news outlet, that between 10 and 15 shots were fired at the building. Cars and the building were struck. It was reported as “extensive damage.”

This is the same dealership that was lit up by those who are protesting CEO Elon Musk and Tesla as a company on March 6. Three cars and the showroom were struck by seven bullets.

It is not the only showroom to report major damage from vandals who are voicing political disagreements through violence and damage. Another showroom in Oregon was lit up by a Molotov cocktail, but that suspect was spotted and arrested.

However, police say they have no leads in the case of the Tigard dealership, as both instances have led to no real idea as to who exactly is the perpetrator of these attacks.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced that any instances of violence or vandalism against Tesla vehicles, owners, or company property would be addressed as an act of domestic terrorism.

The pushback against Musk and Tesla has been eye-opening, as owners across the world are reporting instances of their vehicles being vandalized by those who oppose the points and perspectives of the CEO.

Tesla has been invited to bid to provide its vehicles for State-sponsored usage in Israel, a new report from local media says, not caring about the pushback the company has received for its CEO Elon Musk’s work with President Donald Trump.

Israeli government officials are seeking a fleet of vehicles to be used by the top officials in the area. A new report from JNS states that sources revealed to it on Thursday that Tesla was one company the government requested a bid from because they believe their cars are “great.”

According to a senior official in the Israeli government, they are not worried about the thoughts of those who are “woke,” because they want a safe and quality vehicle:

“We aren’t going to bow to woke trends. A car is a car is a car. And a great car is a great car is a great car. Teslas are great cars and we look forward to studying their bid.”

Tesla seems to be an ally of the Israelis, especially considering Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments on the CEO during the Presidential Inauguration on January 20:

“Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7, [2023], massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”

Tesla has gained plenty of attention from governments in terms of fleets of vehicles in recent months.

Not only did Israel express interest, but there was some indication that the United States was interested in using Tesla EVs for a fleet of armored vehicles back in January as State Department documents indicated the company would be in prime position to win a contract to be awarded later this year.

Ultimately, Tesla’s name was removed from the State Department list after some uproar.

As far as the Israeli contract goes, there is no indication of what other companies might have been invited to bid on the fleet.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has sharp words for MSNBC after the media outlet related U.S. President Donald Trump’s warning about attacks on the electric vehicle maker and its customers to acts of protest.

As per Musk, such a relation is insane, as extreme actions that have been taken against Tesla are not legitimate forms of protest.

Tesla Attacks

Amidst Elon Musk’s work with the Trump administration and his increasingly political nature, attacks against Tesla have seen a notable rise in the past months. Tesla showrooms have been shot up, vandalized, and set on fire in acts of alleged arson. Supercharger stations have also been set on fire. One Tesla store was even attacked with Molotov cocktails.

Worse, even private Tesla owners have seen their vehicles get attacked by vandals and critics. One Cybertruck owner noted on social media that one of his passengers actually got physically hurt when an anti-Tesla activist attacked his all-electric pickup truck.

In response to these attacks, Trump shared a stern warning to would-be Tesla attackers. As per Trump, anyone that hurts an American company, “especially a company like this that supplies so many jobs that others are unable to do,” will go through hell when they are apprehended.

MSNBC’s Response

In a segment, MSNBC framed the U.S. President’s warning as Trump simply looking out for a fellow billionaire—one whose company is failing. Interestingly enough, the media outlet’s hosts and panel did not mention or acknowledge any of the violent and dangerous attacks that have been directed at Tesla and Tesla owners as of late.

“You also, overnight, have his post claiming that protests at Tesla dealerships are illegal. He (Trump) said today he would label violence against dealerships domestic terrorism… So just to be clear, you protest a private company, you are labeled by this administration a domestic terrorist,” MSNBC noted.

Musk Strikes Back

Musk did not mince words in his criticism of the media outlet. In response to a video shared on X of MSNBC’s segment, Musk wrote, “Wow, they’re totally insane.” Musk also clarified the rather simple distinction that while peaceful protests are no issue, shooting Tesla stores and burning Superchargers are a step too far.

“Death threats, shooting up Tesla stores, and burning down Superchargers are definitely not “legitimate forms of protest!”” Musk wrote in his post.
