Part 2/7:
The reports of vandalism against Teslas have hit the Twin Cities and spread across the globe. Winslow outlines the shocking statistics: over 100 personal Tesla vehicles have been vandalized, leading to damages estimated at around $2 million. In addition, approximately $12 million worth of destruction has occurred at charging stations and dealerships, raising the total damage to around $20 million.
Despite this extensive damage, mainstream media have often downplayed the severity of the situation, suggesting that these actions stemmed from individual frustrations surrounding public figures like President Trump and Elon Musk. However, Winslow argues that there is much more at stake, pointing to the significant financial backing that fuels such protests.
