A disturbing incident unfolded in an upscale Manhattan neighborhood early Monday morning when a homeless arsonist targeted a Tesla Cybertruck, setting it ablaze with Molotov cocktails. The suspect, identified as Dwain Burr, 40, first vandalized the electric vehicle by dumping garbage on the hood before igniting the fire near East 58th Street and Second Avenue in Sutton Place.

Witnesses reported seeing Burr place one Molotov cocktail on the rear passenger tire of the Tesla, causing it to burst into flames, and then throwing another at the vehicle. Fortunately, a quick-thinking bystander used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the blaze before it could spread further, preventing any injuries.

Law enforcement officers swiftly apprehended Burr in the vicinity and charged him with arson, reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of a weapon. Surprisingly, Burr has no prior criminal record, leaving authorities puzzled as to his motive for targeting the Tesla.

This incident is just the latest in a series of crimes aimed at Tesla vehicles and owners nationwide. The rise in such incidents coincides with the controversial tenure of Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, who has taken on a role in government efficiency under the Trump administration.

In a similar hate crime incident last month, a woman named Natasha Cohen was arrested for leaving a brick with a swastika and the word “Nazi” on a parked Tesla in a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. She also reportedly dumped trash on the vehicle, leading to charges of aggravated harassment.

Just a few days prior, vandals were caught on camera carving a swastika and the word “Nazis” into a Tesla Cybertruck parked in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. These incidents highlight a troubling trend of targeted attacks on Tesla vehicles, raising concerns about the safety and security of owners and their property.

As investigations into these incidents continue, authorities are working to address the rise in hate crimes and vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
