The FBI recently shared a video showing a masked man believed to have set fire to a Tesla Supercharger station in Washington state. They suggested that he might have sustained injuries typical of being close to an “explosion.”
At about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, the man allegedly started a fire at a Tesla Supercharger located in the South Sound Center in Lacey.
Lacey Police Department officials confirmed in a statement it received multiple 911 calls reporting a loud noise in the area.
“The fire resulted in substantial damage to the station and surrounding area,” according to a statement from FBI Seattle.

These incidents, which included arson, gunfire, and vandalism, occurred following widespread criticism when Tesla CEO Elon Musk was named as a policy advisor for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by President Donald Trump.
Authorities are urging individuals near the Target and Kohl’s stores in the South Sound Center, along with the Chehalis Western and Woodland Creek trails, to check their doorbell and security camera footage for any signs of the man entering a vehicle on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
Tesla and Target did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
The Lacey Police Department declined Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
