So, I’m not suggesting anyone do this but just as an FYI if you use fire or explosives to do it, the sentencing will be much harsher.
Because Tesla gets federal funding, the federal government can charge you as though you burned down government property.
This is the statue Pam Bondi is using to go after folks.
Whoever maliciously damages or destroys, or attempts to damage or destroy, by means of fire or an explosive, any building, vehicle, or other personal or real property in whole or in part owned or possessed by, or leased to, the United States, or any department or agency thereof, or any institution or organization receiving Federal financial assistance, shall be imprisoned for not less than 5 years and not more than 20 years, fined under this title, or both.
Anyway, there’s quite a few things that could be fired at a distance that could do a lot of damage to the paint job. Which isn’t cheap to fix, and makes the cars unsellable in the meantime.

If a person was so inclined anyway
That statute is bullshit! Just because a corporation has some federal contacts doesn’t mean they need or deserve extra federal protection.
Unfortunately it will probably take a defendant with very deep pockets to hire very good lawyers to defend charges based on the statute…
