Over 80 Tesla vehicles were damaged outside a showroom in Hamilton, Ontario, on the night of Tuesday, March 18, police said.
Constable Trevor McKenna said on Thursday (March 20) the vandals scratched the hoods and fenders of the vehicles and punctured their tires, adding that the police are investigating the incident.
Tesla has become a target of activists opposed to the political agenda of President Donald Trump and the role of his adviser Elon Musk, the electric car maker's CEO, in putting it in motion. Musk is leading the administration's drive to slash the federal payroll through the Department of Government Efficiency.
In addition, Musk has orchestrated the cancellation of contracts at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which funds humanitarian programs around the world.
