A fire in Seattle late Sunday reportedly torched four Tesla Cybertrucks as protesters descend on showrooms across the country to protest billionaire owner Elon Musk.
Police officers and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are investigating the fire, which broke out in a lot in SoDo, Seattle’s industrial district, officials told The Post.
Officials responded to a call made around 11:13 p.m. on Sunday about a fire in the SoDo neighborhood, David Cuerpo, a Seattle Fire Department spokesperson, told The Post.

Officials responded to a call made around 11:13 p.m. on Sunday about a fire in the SoDo neighborhood. Paul Christian Gordon/ZUMA / SplashNews.comNo one was injured, and the four electric trucks were the only property damaged by the flames.
Fire crews moved the four vehicles to keep anything else in the vicinity from catching fire, Cuerpo said.
While there is not yet a suspect or motive, the fire is just the latest in a string of incidents targeting Tesla as protests ramp up against Musk – the richest person in the world – and the Department of Government Efficiency, his White House cost-cutting task force.
Tesla and a representative for Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Last week, seven Tesla charging stations near Boston were purposefully set ablaze, and shots were fired at a Tesla dealer in Oregon.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside a Tesla showroom in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan on Saturday, chanting “Nobody voted for Elon Musk” and “Oligarchs out, democracy in.”

Federal prosecutors have charged a Colorado woman with malicious destruction of property for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at cars and spray-painting “Nazi” at a Tesla dealership.
The Loveland dealership was vandalized and incendiary devices were found on the scene five separate times, including once after the suspect was released on bond – pushing the local police chief to lament a criminal justice system with “no repercussions to lawlessness.”
