Thinking about damaging a Tesla? Think again…
According to a Fox News report, one Texas man is suing a Tesla terrorist for one million dollars after his Model X was keyed at a Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport parking lot.
The suspect, Rafael Hernandez, was arrested on March 22 on a criminal mischief charge by the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office after being recorded by the Tesla’s built-in cameras striking the left side of the vehicle.
The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, was driving when his Tesla was damaged in an airport parking lot. In footage obtained by Fox, Hernandez is seen pulling an object from his pocket and using it to damage the side of the Model X.
The Tesla owner told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that the “motives were wrong, and [Hernandez’s] acts were intentional — it is for a judge and jury to decide, based on the facts, what his punishment should be. I believe strongly that I was targeted because my car is a Tesla. I didn’t even realize that this nationwide Tesla attack was even a thing — until I was thrown into that world. What’s important to me is that it happened, it was intentional, and it was wrong. As a result, I’ve been thrown into a nightmare, and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.”
The lawsuit filed by the victim outlines “Individual owners of Tesla vehicles, like Plaintiff, are being targeted and victimized by ongoing criminal conduct and action. This has culminated in the ‘Tesla Takedown’ movement, where certain activists are urging consumers to divest from Tesla products and are organizing protests and other activities that are explicitly or implicitly urging physical damage and/or violence against Tesla owners and/or their Tesla vehicles. Plaintiff recently became a target and victim of this criminal conduct and action.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi is calling for strict sentencing for people who attack Teslas.
“I’ve made it clear: if you take part in the wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, we will find you, arrest you, and put you behind bars,” Bondi said on Musk’s social network X on Monday as she announced federal charges against Frederick.
In a recent op-ed for The New York Post, Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley pointed out the madness of the Democratic Party, rejecting all over their core principles after falling ill with Musk Derangement Syndrome.
“Since the election, Democrats have shown that very self-destructive quality of rage in adopting anti-immigrant, anti-free speech, anti-labor, and even anti-environmental positions to get at Donald Trump or his supporters,” Truely wrote.
“It consumes every part of a person. It is addictive, and it is contagious. What these rage addicts will not admit, however, is that they like it; they need it.”
“…the greatest hypocrisy may be found in the Democrats’ willingness to abandon environmental priorities for political revenge. It is a contest of virtue-signaling. Fight for Mother Earth is fine on most days, but nothing compares to destroying Elon Musk.”
