A 20-year-old man, Brendan Mullen, was arrested for allegedly vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck parked at a Hingham charging station. The incident occurred over the weekend, with the truck's owner reporting damage detected by the vehicle's security system. Surveillance footage showed Mullen scratching the side of the truck before fleeing. He pleaded not guilty in court and was released, with unclear motives behind the vandalism. This incident is part of a wave of similar acts against Teslas, linked to broader protests against Elon Musk's affiliations.
Brendan Mullen, 20, was arraigned Wednesday on a charge of malicious damage to a motor vehicle in Hingham District Court, where he pleaded not guilty.
The motive in the alleged incident was not immediately clear, and Mullen's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
