As of Monday afternoon, law enforcement had not released any details about suspects or motives behind the incident. The investigation remains ongoing.

The discovery comes amid a growing trend of vandalism and attacks targeting Tesla properties in multiple cities across the country.

Incidents involving damage to Tesla vehicles, charging stations, and sales centers have been reported in Kansas City, Seattle, Las Vegas, Charleston, S.C., and several locations in Massachusetts.

The wave of attacks has intensified since Tesla CEO Elon Musk became involved with the Trump administration.

Musk currently leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a federal agency established to reduce waste, streamline operations, and cut costs across government departments.

DOGE has drawn criticism from some political groups and government unions due to its efforts to reduce federal jobs and defund certain agency initiatives.

Law enforcement officials have not confirmed whether Monday’s incident is connected to any political group or coordinated campaign.

However, the broader trend of vandalism targeting Tesla facilities has raised concerns among state and federal authorities.

Attorney General of the United States Pam Bondi issued a statement last week responding to the series of incidents affecting Tesla properties.

“The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism,” Bondi said.

Tesla has not released a formal statement about the incident in Austin or the ongoing acts of vandalism across other cities.

The company continues to operate its facilities while cooperating with local and federal law enforcement agencies.

The March 29 protests promoted by activist group #TeslaTakedown are also drawing increased attention.

The group has planned demonstrations at 277 Tesla locations in the United States and over 500 internationally on that date.

No official connection has been made between the group’s actions and Monday’s incident in Austin.

Investigators are continuing to collect evidence from the scene and are urging the public to provide any information that could help identify those responsible for placing the devices at the dealership.

Local officials have not issued public safety alerts beyond the immediate area, but increased security measures are expected at Tesla locations in the coming days as a precaution.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has been notified and may assist in the investigation, depending on the findings of the Austin Police Department.

As the investigation develops, law enforcement agencies are expected to monitor additional Tesla properties across the country for potential threats or coordinated efforts.
