The Seattle Police Department’s arson and bomb squad is investigating after someone busted out the window of a Tesla parked on First Hill early Saturday and set it on fire, destroying the vehicle, police say.

According to police, the incident took place just after 1 AM near Harborview and was captured on video as the suspect can be seen walking up to the car parked near 9th and Alder, breaking the window, and lighting the car on fire.

The incident comes after a flurry of similar acts earlier this year as protests grew against the company over CEO Elon Musk’s short-lived but damaging Department of Government Efficiency and its corporate-style cost-cutting of the federal government under the Trump administration.

In March, the FBI was reportedly searching for suspects in a fire that targeted a Tesla on 15th Ave E.

In May, SPD said it busted a woman for “felony level damage” to a Tesla parked outside its East Precinct at 12th and Pine.

There were no reported injuries in either earlier incident and no injuries reported in Saturday morning’s fire.
