Anti-Musk Anti-Tesla Vandalism Spreads to Supercharger Network, Screaming at Teslas Driving By Becomes Normalized, And Canceling Ubers When They Are Teslas

Massachusetts has mobilized against Tesla. Protests range from graffiti swastikas on Superchargers, people screaming at passing Teslas, and rideshare customers reporting that they are now canceling their rides if a Tesla is dispatched. These are all just being reported in one liberal East Coast Commonwealth.

Swastikas On Supercharger Station Property
This morning, Boston-area residents checking the local news were informed by nearly every local media outlet that swastika graffiti had been applied by vandals to a Tyngsboro Tesla Supercharger station. Once reserved only for Tesla owners, Superchargers have now been opened to nearly all leading electric vehicle brands. Tyngsboro is a northern suburb bordering Lowell and the New Hampshire state line, once known as a rural blue-collar and agricultural community. 

NBC Boston reported that the graffiti included the words “Normalize Hate” and “Goose Step.” Given the location of the graffiti, it presumably is in protest to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts to identify and stop waste fraud and abuse in government. The NBC report has images of the graffiti. Police were able to remove the graffiti, and no meaningful damage to the Superchargers themselves have been reported at this time. 

Screaming At Passing Teslas
In fancy Newton Corner, where one cannot pass a corner without seeing a “Hate Has No Home Here” lawn sign, a person was reportedly screaming at passing Tesla vehicles and the occupants (we don’t say “drivers” when referring to Tesla because they can operate autonomously in certain situations). Facebook Club “Only In Boston” made the post yesterday evening, and by morning, it had over 1,200 likes and other reactions. The comments under the post were almost entirely supportive of the anti-Musk and anti-Tesla activity.

Here are some comments found under the post, which was presumably made by the group’s admin.

• “Give this person an award,” by member DK
• “You mean swasticars?” by member EMC
• “We need more of that energy,” by member JF
• “This made my day,” by WC
• “If you still drive a Tesa, you deserve it,” by member ER

There were also quite a few comments, though a minority, who took the opposite view of this anti-Tesla activity. Here is a selection of those comments:

• “The crazy left, patting themselves on the back for years about saving the planet, now you're Nazi supporters and happy to back Joe Biden’s war.” by member SB
• “If you don’t support Elon, chances are you don’t support freedom of speech & DO support having your tax dollars fraudulently stolen & embezzled by government democratic politicians.” by member DS
• “I love how Trump and Elon are ruining liberals everywhere! It’s going to be a beautiful 4 years!” by member BG

Anti-Tesla Vandalism Isn’t Just In Massachusetts or Even America
Recently, a Colorado Tesla retail center has been targeted not once, not twice, but three times by vandals. Large X symbols, denoting Elon Musk’s ownership of the now thriving X social media network, we spray-painted on the Cybertucks parked in the dealership’s lot. Excuse us if we say “dealership,” we understand that is a trigger word for some. 

Also, in the past week, a Tesla retail “dealership” was targeted by vandals who indicated that Tesla was a fascist organization. This attack on property occurred in The Hague, The Netherlands, in the province of South Holland.

“I Will Never Drive the Cybertruck Again,” Cries Woman
Just yesterday, Torque News and media across the nation, reported on a Doctor in Worcester, Massachusetts, who has had his Cybertruck vandalized. Worse, his wife was the victim of nearly violent road anti-Tesla rage, according to reports. Dr. Jaroje reported live on TV news that after a vehicle pulled over in front of his wife, who was driving her children at the time, exited and displayed a hateful symbol, “She was horrified. She was, like, crying, screaming out of her throat, I will never drive that Cybertruck anymore.""

Cybertruck Owner Reports Being Punched (Unverified)
We also have a report by a purported Tesla Cybertruck owner that he was “punched.” Our lead Tesla reporter, Tinsae Aregay, reported this news just this week as well. Mr. Aregay reported that a Tesla Cybrtruck owner named Robert Oneal from Los Angeles said, “I got punched in the face tonight because I have a Cybertruck.”

We hope that this report has not offered any personal opinion on Telsla and Mr. Musk. We report the news as we uncover it and cite our sources as accurately as possible. Please tell us in the comments below if you feel this report had a positive or negative slant with regard to this subject.
