Tesla Cybertrucks — Why are they being targeted?
There have been reports of Tesla vehicles being attacked, targets of protests and vandalism ever since Must took up important roles in US President Trump’s administration. People have protested Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been a reason for large-scale layoffs and contract cancellations.
There were reports of gunfire at a Tesla dealership in Oregon last week, and the police are working with the FBI to investigate the incident. The shootings occurred a week after a woman was charged for vandalising a Tesla dealership in Colorado.
Tesla in other news
One of the most spoken-about topics related to Tesla is its entry into India. The US carmaker had plans to set shop in India a few years ago but dropped plans after the Indian government said the cars had to be built here. Now, with the new US administration and the drop in import duties, Tesla is back, eyeing the Indian market, and has finalised land and has confirmed that the cars will be imported.
While this seems to be an exciting move for some who aspire to own a Tesla, experts have said that Tesla might not make it as big as expected owing to the presence of Indian brands such as Mahindra and Tata Motors, whose EV technology has come a long way.
