The FBI’s announcement of a task force comes in response to a spate of firebombing and other acts of vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles and charging stations.

FBI Director Kash Patel has confirmed the launch of a multi-agency task force aimed at identifying and prosecuting those behind a recent wave of violent attacks targeting Tesla vehicles, facilities, and charging stations—acts he said equal “domestic terrorism.”

“The FBI has been investigating the increase in violent activity toward Tesla, and over the last few days, we have taken additional steps to crack down and coordinate our response,” Patel wrote on March 24 on the social media platform X. “This is domestic terrorism. Those responsible will be pursued, caught, and brought to justice.”

Patel shared a post from New York Post reporter Diana Glebova, who first reported the formation of the FBI’s 10-person Tesla task force. The unit reportedly includes special agents and analysts from several federal agencies, including the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division—specifically its Domestic Terrorism Operations Section and Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate—as well as personnel from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

An FBI spokesperson confirmed the agency’s intent in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.

“Director Patel has been unequivocally clear: The FBI will be relentless in its mission to protect the American people,“ the spokesperson said. ”Acts of violence, vandalism, and domestic terrorism—like the recent Tesla attacks—will be pursued with the full force of the law.”
