More than a dozen shots were fired at around 4:15 a.m., causing extensive damage to the dealership’s building as well as cars parked on the lot, officials said.
The previous Thursday, March 6, the same Tesla dealership was peppered with “at least seven shots” that damaged three cars, shattered windows and even pierced an office wall and hit a computer monitor, police said.
Tigard police have not announced any arrests or suspects. The department said it is working with the FBI and ATF on the investigations into the shootings.
The shootings targeting the dealership come as Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, increasingly becomes a controversial political figure. President Donald Trump made Musks a “special government employee” and charged him with slashing the size of the federal government, provoking waves of protests across the country, including in Oregon.
In January, a Tesla dealership in Salem was firebombed, and a month later, gunshots were fired into the building, leading to an arrest.
