An Arizona woman driving a Tesla was allegedly assaulted by a male driver after he cut her off, as seen in video footage of the confrontation. The suspect boxed in her vehicle on Route 66 in Flagstaff and confronted her, reportedly punching her through the window while she was still seated in her car. This incident is part of a larger pattern of violence and vandalism aimed at Tesla owners, potentially fueled by political sentiments against Elon Musk. The woman emphasized her vehicle's association with political issues was unwarranted.
"I started to say, 'You cut me off, what's your problem?', but I didn't know how much he heard me. He got out and started to punch me with a closed fist."
"I'm just appalled," she told the station.
"It’s one of a series of criminal acts that Tesla owners and dealerships have dealt with in recent weeks."
"While the motive of the suspect...was unclear, it's part of a broader trend of vandalism and violence against Tesla owners."
