Three leftists accused of vandalizing Tesla cars and charging stations are now facing up to 20 years in prison thanks to the Trump administration.
“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement Thursday. “Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.”
Today, @AGPamBondi announced charges against three individuals responsible for the violent destruction of Tesla properties.

One suppressed AR-15-armed leftist, Adam Matthew Lansky, was arrested after he first threw eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Oregon on Jan. 20th and then returned on Feb. 19th to shoot out one dealership window and fire bullets into one Tesla vehicle.
Another leftist, Lucy Grace Nelson, was arrested after she spray-painted “Nazi cars” on several Tesla vehicles at a dealership in Colorado and then tried to light the cars on fire with Molotov cocktails.
“The defendant was later found in possession of materials used to produce additional incendiary weapons,” according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release.
The third and final leftist, Daniel Clarke-Pounder, wrote “F–k Trump” and “long live the Ukraine” on several Tesla charging stations in South Carolina before lighting the stations on fire with Molotov cocktails.
Each leftist faces a minimum of five years in prison if convicted, though the hope is they’ll receive the full 20-year maximum sentence.
The charging of these left-wing terrorists comes as leftists continue to ratchet up their attacks on Tesla in a bid to intimidate Department of Government Efficiency boss Elon Musk into stepping down.

In addition to attacking Tesla dealerships and sharing guides on how to commit domestic terror attacks, the radicalized left has also reportedly set up a website, “Dogequest,” that contains the personal details of Tesla owners.
“The site reveals the names, addresses and phone numbers of Tesla owners on an interactive map and uses an image of a Molotov cocktail as a cursor,” according to The Independent. “The operators of the site have stated that they will only remove the information of Tesla owners who prove that they have sold their cars.”
The site even includes the names of Tesla owners who hate Musk.
“I understand that the website is anti-Elon, as am I, but I fear that this type of website and in particular, the presence of my full name and home address can be a physical threat to me and my family,” one deranged Trump hater who bought a Tesla in 2023 told The Independent.
“I can imagine the purpose is to harass and threaten perceived supporters of Elon, which I emphatically am not. As much as I can hate a stranger, I hate that guy,” they added.
This DOGEQUEST website that doxes Tesla Owners, Tesla Dealerships and DOGE employees is out and out TERRORISM.
Telling someone that they have to prove they sold their Tesla in order to have their name removed is the very definition of terrorism.

On Wednesday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced that the agency is “actively working on” both the Tesla attacks and also the swatting of conservative influencers.
“Communication and transparency are my priorities,” he wrote on Twitter/X. “We work for you, the American citizen. Our teams are actively working on the Tesla incidents and the swatting incidents, along with our other responsibilities to keep the Homeland safe. Thank you.”
