A Monday MPD notice showed pictures of two people suspected of vandalizing Tesla vehicles in a spate of incidents from March 2-14. Police said they were “involved in defacing private property (hate/bias) offenses involving Teslas in the District.”

The two suspects “wrote political hate speech onto the victims’ Tesla vehicles then fled the scene,” it added.

“The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating these offenses as potentially being motivated by hate or bias. The designation can be changed at any point as an investigation proceeds, and more information is gathered. A designation as a hate crime by MPD does not mean that prosecutors will prosecute it as a hate crime,” the MPD clarified.

The MPD told the Washington Post one of the messages sprawled across a Tesla was “Ask me about my support of Nazis.”

One schoolteacher’s Tesla had “Go Doge I support Musk killing the dept of Education” written across its windshield in an elementary school parking lot. She ruled out getting rid of her vehicle to ward off further vandalism.

“I don’t have the luxury of buying another car,” she said. “I think it’s a very elitist mindset to think that someone can just turn in their car and take on another loan to satisfy the masses.”

The maximum penalty for defacing private property in Washington, D.C., is a $5,000 fine and up to a year in jail, but added hate crime charges would significantly increase these penalties.

According to police statistics, Washington hasn’t investigated a politically motivated hate crime in the past four years.

Federal authorities have begun aggressively pursuing the Tesla attacks. Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi charged three individuals who were caught firebombing Tesla property with domestic terrorism.

“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” she said. “Let this be a warning: If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”

Each defendant is facing charges that carry five to 20 years in prison.

The FBI launched a task force on Monday to pursue criminals who vandalized Tesla property.

“The FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days, we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response. This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice,” FBI Director Kash Patel said.

BONDI CHARGES THREE PEOPLE OVER TESLA VANDALISM

President Donald Trump floated sending Tesla vandals to prisons in El Salvador.

“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20-year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” he said in a Friday post on Truth Social. “Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”
