Feds on alert for Tesla 'Global Day of Action' after nationwide violence leads to arrests

While Americans head outdoors to enjoy the warmer spring temperatures this weekend, demonstrators around the globe are gearing up to partake in the previously arranged “Tesla Takedown’s Global Day of Action” on Saturday.

According to the group’s website, the demonstrators aim to make a strong statement against Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk. Described as a decentralized grassroots movement, the organization plans to protest Tesla as long as Elon Musk continues to undermine public services. Organizers intend to conduct rallies at more than 200 Tesla sites nationwide.

Fox News Digital had a conversation with Joshua Schirard, the director of Byrna Law Enforcement and a former police and SWAT captain from Galveston, Texas, to discuss how ordinary Americans and electric vehicle owners alike can remain vigilant.

“This weekend, when we have this Tesla Takedown day, have extra situational awareness and put in a little bit more effort into planning what you’re going to do, some routes you’re going to take this weekend,” he said.

“For the rest of the American citizens out there that maybe aren’t Tesla drivers, while you’re out and about this weekend, you need to stay extra vigilant to help each other out,” Schirard said. “If you’re passing a Tesla dealership, take a look and see if there’s some active protest or some vandalism, some violence going on.”

The law enforcement expert shared the classic adage – see something, say something – rings true for violence against Tesla vehicles, dealerships and owners.

“The police are already taxed and stretched thin enough as it is. The only way that we can successfully protect a community is with the help, the support and the contributions of those citizens,” Schirard said. “So make sure if you see something, even though it might look minor, call 911.”

“Let them know what’s going on. That way, police have an idea of how to divert resources properly to make sure that we can protect the citizens where we really need to,” he said.

Police on “high alert”

Schirard said that he is confident that law enforcement authorities across the nation are discussing how to approach and combat Tesla violence.

“Most police departments now are very intel-driven. We’re constantly looking at what that future threat could be. And we have a lot of talk on social media, on mainstream media and from local sources about this Tesla Takedown,” he said. 

“It’s very likely that we’re going to see some diverted resources in police departments just to make sure that some of those bigger Tesla dealerships are covered, and that more public and commercial spots have some extra coverage as well.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Tesla for comment.
