There have been shocking scenes of anti-Tesla protests in America this week.

Washington state has seen protests and vandalism targeting Tesla facilities and vehicles.

Several Tesla vehicles parked at public charging stations in the Seattle area were reportedly vandalised, while a Tesla charger station in Centralia was defaced with graffiti, including anti-Elon Musk messages and political slogans including "Burn Nazi Cars, Kill Elon."

In the SoDo neighbourhood in Seattle, protestors were seen destroying a Tesla with a pickaxe, while a new Cybertruck was seemingly set on fire.

Activists in Seattle have been organising online campaigns calling for boycotts of Tesla products and services, citing dissatisfaction with Elon Musk's political involvement and recent government actions tied to his influence.
