It's arson.
This one is local to me, and I've charged there many times. I hope the arsonist(s) are caught. Super charger sites need their own Sentry Mode cameras, for driver and site security.
Looks just a little bit suspicious.
A little weird they they don't with so the vandalism and theft they were getting before, tbh. They even already have power and Internet!
Stg. BUT it’s probably an issue with each business that they lease space from because not all of them would want surveillance from a third party yk
Seems likely intentional given it’s at all the dispensers. Also likely done by people not familiar with superchargers given the power conversion cabinets appear untouched. I’d guess that’s the more expensive equipment (but I could be wrong).
If these were other brand chargers, dispenser fire means total loss.
I thought Tesla leases these spots, right? If yes, they would be able out cameras Luke any other business in these spots. Just a guess.

Surely there must be security cameras in the shopping center parking lot. Only a $5K reward? That’s at least $50-150K of damage. Tesla said no one was charging at the time the fire broke out at 1am or so.
Attacking the power grid makes you a domestic terrorist, does it not? I think you skipped straight to the feds coming after you.
Damn....that's one of my nearby superchargers. You might have political issues...but wtf.
I sure hope so

Do you have space under that rock for one more?
Yea they do, but laws vary drastically state to state, and country to country. They may do it in a few charger locations but I can’t see this being wide spread
[removed]
if the fire made it over to those cabinets, this probably would've gone a bit differently and your opinion might've changed...
one of the supercharger sites where I live has a police officer that sits and guards the stations (at least in the afternoon. I haven’t been during the day). I wasn’t sure if this was an isolated thing that the specific shopping center decided or if it would be the norm for most supercharger sites.
Almost stopped there to charge tonight. Glad I had the range to get home!
"Sell your Tesla and get another EV." Ok, it's still on the road though. "Burn the chargers." But I will be using these chargers with a different EV as NACS is becoming standard. Maybe vote better next time people. Fucking idiots. Let's hurt green tech that'll show 'em.
It was on my list of possibles this afternoon, but I wound up charging in Chelmsford.
The power cabinets are still not part of the grid. Unless they somehow transmit power back to the grid or transmits power to another point in the grid, they are end points.

This makes me want to buy another Tesla. 😎🚀
Attack on infrastructure is terrorism.
Seriously uncool. You might hate him (and I do, enough to buy something else) but this is just plain stupid. No need for vandalism
Please idiots don’t do this.
Punishment isn’t harsh enough here. Need to really punish so people will stop this non sense.
[removed]
Let’s go!!! I’m saving up for the Juniper as soon as I finish playing off our current Y. 😊
These arsoles want us to go back to ICE vehicles. I depend on Tesla chargers for my Rivian as well when I travel given the shitshow that is other chargers.

These people are fucking insane lol

They don’t have political issues. They have…issues. In reality, these people have really become what they pretend to fight.
"being investigated as suspicious" no shit.
[removed]
Pathetic
I thought they did, and that’s how Tesla was able to provide video to police of the guy who blew up his CyberTruck.
you misspelled "cost" lol
[removed]
The cybertruck has sentry mode. These chargers were burned in the middle of the night when nobody with a tesla was there. Also sentry mode is only active when you walk away and the car locks. Not always the case at a supercharger
May be it burned down because of other incompetence that is prevalent in Tesla these days.
Hot damn, Tesla says 48 hours or less and they'll have it replaced and back up! EA be like - "under repair" for the next 9 months.
"vote better" Or, just don't throw a huge hissy fit and destroy things that are produced by the company of a person you don't agree with, especially private property. The world is still turning, and it will continue turning 4, 8, 12 years from now. I really don't understand Americans.
You still having your rolling 1 hour recording if you're in the car.
Exactly! People are way too obsessed with politicians and other celebrities. It's good to be aware of things that are happening in the world, but people need to turn off the TV and go live their lives to the best of their ability.
That's legit if they get it up this fast. Genuinely curious, but do you have a source on that? I remember reading about a site in Texas that had all the cables cut, and Tesla had it back up in less than a week. Impressive!
[https://x.com/TeslaCharging/status/1896718236080898292](https://x.com/TeslaCharging/status/1896718236080898292) Tesla Charging said so :D
It’s sad because they can’t see it. Blinded by Hatred
Investigation wrapped up.
Destroy things that will then either be repaired by or replaced by the company they’re trying to hurt thus increasing their sales…
[deleted]
Not all Americans btw. Just a loud and annoying sect.
> I haven’t been during the day Isn’t the afternoon during the day?
I should have said during daylight because it gets dark in the late afternoon here so I don’t really think of it as “during the day” lol. But I was intending to say the officer is there at least after it starts to get dark.
Yeah seriously. I’m not wasting my valuable time I can’t get back analyzing every little thing some well known person does. They don’t know me from Adam, it’s pointless at least and unhealthy at worst.
Well said.
It's just the dry weather. Could happen anywhere really. Nothing to see here.
Crazy political people at it again.
All I see are democrats destroying things ( no surprise there ) when they do not get their way. They are domestic terrorists.
Hey it’s not all of us. But we absolutely need to do a better job of denouncing our extreme leftist insanity. I hope The Right can do the same
Im not even American but watching Americans get upset at a man for exposing fraud, and misuse of THEIR tax dollars, is quite literally, the stupidest thing I ever seen.
NO WAY. YOU DON'T SAY !!!!
Lmaoo. Biggest FU to the arsonist(s) possible!
“Stop hate” bruh, you’re perpetuating it
Exactly. You're just polluting the environment. Just vote with your wallet and don't buy a Tesla. They'll eventually recycle the cars, and you win without going to jail.
Right? Hahaha
[removed]
3 years in state prison isn't harsh enough? What would you want to see?
Car charging stations aren't infrastructure in the sense of the law. If they burned a substation, that would be terrorism.
Why? Pretty much all latest chargers have the dispenser separated from the transformers.
oh okay. I was wrong then. thank for the correction
Social law. Inflicting fear on civil society is terrorism again by definition. Arson is violence.
I got a bridge to sell you bud.
Proof?
Your hate has made you into a wonderful person. Your true colors show now... what a shame.
Clearly not enough. If people are still willing to burn things down.
[Poor kids.](https://www.babycenter.com/baby-names/details/arson-747175) Seriously, why is this a baby name?
That kid is ON FIRE.
Proof?? Where's the proof of fraud? They've only cut essential services and international expression of soft power.
You can make that argument about nearly every crime, but that's not how terrorism is defined.
It’s back up. https://x.com/sawyermerritt/status/1897400594064900258?s=46&t=AfKP5ME0vofdMT7GJN3aYg
Terrorism is the application of violence on civilians targets. It is that simple.
By a Chinese EV, who are in favor of Putin
Those have already been fixed, [https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1897400594064900258](https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1897400594064900258)
Tesla hasn't been a leader in Green tech in at least 5 years lol
At least Republicans have the decency to just destroy the economy.
[removed]
Giggles,, *__*
As an onlooker, it seems like the left has been going much more radical, and committing all these things and too many people in the media and left wing networks etc are giving a pass. Many democrats and independents I know told Me directly they feel like the left has gone off the rails.
So people on your side are committing arson and vandalizing random teslas and you think you’re on the right side? Wow
I feel bad for any Tesla owners in and around Boston. Glad I sold mine
Another example of the intolerance,arrogance,ignorance and stupidity exhibited by the left.
[removed]
Well... I think the people comitting felonies are probably on the wrong side of this one. Talk about dropping the mask...
Explain that.
[removed]
Harsher punishments, especially mandatory minimums, have been proven to have [little to no effect as crime deterrence](https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2020/07/do-harsher-punishments-deter-crime). I just linked to a single article on what is a very complicated and broad topic, but this has been reinforced repeatedly with decades of research into the subject. Just as an example: the person who did this probably has no idea what the punishment is if they were to be caught. Why would they change their mind whether it is 3 years or 6 or 9 if nobody knows what it is? Even judges don't know what sentencing will look like until they factor in everything about the specific individual being sentenced.

sO mUcH fOr tHe tOlEraNt lEfT!
This isn’t infrastructure
A charging station is not a power grid
Chelmsford, UK? :-D
Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA, though I should have said Tyngsboro. Almost every town of note in the UK has a US counterpart, sometimes several.
I forgot violence.
While polarization within each party is indeed growing. I think it’s important to remember that still only 6-9% of American adults identify as “very liberal” or “progressive” and represents a minority in the Democratic Party. What I can say, is that Dems absolutely kowtow to this ideology. I think it led to our ruin in the last election. And I’m not just talking about Kamala. I think her actual beliefs are pretty moderate. But she was unfortunately the face of the entire left side of the spectrum, particularly because she refused to denounce it. I do think Dem/liberal societal Institutions have absolutely gone off the rails. Research/higher education/health/media. These are truly fucked
🤪
Yes because the people who we don’t know that did this (assuming it was arson) are definitely “leftists” because trust me bro.
Yes it is. It is charging infrastructure.
False. Terrorism is the application of violence on civilians and civil society. An attack on charging infrastructure disrupts society creating fear we can operate normally. Terrorists attack power grids for that reason. Superchargers are part of the grid. These attackers are trying to strike fear into EV and Tesla owners. That is also a mob and cartel terrorism attack- make the community afraid of using a service. Lol? How infantile. No one is laughing except the perpetrators of these attacks.
But is the fire ok?
This man will take the company and brand down with him.
Hope no one making a long distance trip gets stranded because they torched the charging station you had mapped out. I know they have non tesla chargers around , but that still sucks depending on some parts of the country they may be a good distance if you are low. If anyone encounters this just remember most car dealerships have chargers installed now if you get in a bind. You’re gonna pay more though and they are slower.
Democrats learned nothing from the last election
We do have power
Remember the BLM riots?
Is it safe for me to Rent/Drive a tesla right now or should I look into something else? -Foreigner visiting Florida next week
There have been protests at some dealerships and service centers, but I haven't heard of individually owned cars being targeted. I certainly drive mine without hesitation. If you're worried, buy the rental's insurance.
Rapist to a rape victim: “Lie back and enjoy it.”
So people on your side are raping our Grandmothers of their Social Security and committing heinous unconstitutional acts and you think you’re on the right side? Wow
Right!?! You would think that being a felon would at least land you in jail and prevent you from becoming President of the United States! Punishment wouldn’t be harsh enough in that case!
Republicans learned nothing from his last time in office.
Mental
Maybe that 1.5% total vote difference isn’t a mandate?
You can get them cheap atm.
We are emotionally manipulated and led around like poodles on both aisles. Right now us dems are like post breakup buzzing their hair getting face tattoos because the Albert Einstein of our time chose a different political party than the one they’ve been indoctrinated into voting for their entire life. We suck!
Definitely Arson because someone’s feeling are hurt by the DOGE! Poor little liberal…
Yeah, the problem is people who pay attention to what’s going on. If they didn’t pay attention, they wouldn’t be so angry.
This sub is insane.
In what way does spending money to repair something you already had increase your sales?
You're upset at the people in charge. I'm upset at your peers behaving this way. There are not random people being incited to take those actions. You know who to watch. The most important takeaway here is that democracy only works when people who disagree can have construction conversations to hopefully change viewpoints. If the people who disagree with me are throwing molotov cocktails, then I have no interest in their opinions and simply want to see them in jail.
everyone hates you guys. Conservatives rolling coal in their F-150's hate your electric cars. Liberals hate your Teslas now, specifically. There's only a very small slice of the public who has any regard for you.
Go anywhere in the world and you’ll find someone that hates you. Regardless of anything you were, drive, or your accent. And no. I’ve yet haven’t met anyone in my area that doesn’t like my truck. The internet is not real life. And a lot of the “people” here aren’t actually real people. And if they are they most likely aren’t even in your country.
I didn’t see anything
I’d avoid Tesla right now. It’s not safe
Except they really aren’t political. Just like 2020 they are thugs who enjoy destroying things “ in the name of” : fill in blank. True some may be brainwashed and misguided, but most I feel are just vandals.
This is one of the reasons why one should never mixe politics with business.
Sir, he is not the Einstein of our time. That's straight up insulting to the folk who spearhead our world's research.
Dems are psycho
If someone commits arson, I don't call them a liberal. Liberals believe in rule of law. These are arsonists, not democrats.
There are 75 million democrats who are \*not\* committing arson and maybe 20 who are. 2,500 people entered the capital on J6, so you don't have a point.
It's the Americans that want to be Europeans
My guy, most of the world or country don't hate Tesla owners. Reddit and Twitter are not real life.
I agree, the people doing the actual domestic terrorism are just a few wackjobs... What has me seeing red is how many leftist are saying things like "it is fun to watch" or "this is just like the Boston tea party" or justifying it and downplaying it. I saw a video of Adam Conover and he made a comment about how fun it is to watch... It is political and one side is showing their true colors.
Wow is right... Way to demonstrate the feeble mind of leftist. Way to go!
[deleted]
“Way too many” how many is that, exactly? We live in a media ecosystem where outrage and violence goes viral, whereas polite society gets none of the attention. The silent majority does not condone the actions of a tiny loud minority.
