Yet another vandalism event has occurred at a Tesla Supercharger station in Washington this week, in what appeared to be a bombing that took place overnight.On Tuesday, Tesla’s Charging account on X said that it was on-site with local police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at a Supercharger station in Lacey, Washington, after an apparent bombing destroyed the transformers attached to the site.“We’re on-site with Lacey Police and FBI, and reviewing camera footage,” Tesla writes.
“Also coordinating with Puget Sound Energy to get the Superchargers back online asap. Don’t mess with critical infrastructure.”The person who originally posted the photos on Facebook said that he owns the adjacent property and plans to review camera footage to help try to identify the perpetrator.
Lacey Police said the blast took place around 1:34 a.m., and officers received multiple calls about the loud noise before being dispatched to the scene.
