As anti-Elon Musk sentiment grows in the United States, attacks targeting Tesla stores are also increasing. Amid this, a map revealing the locations of all Tesla stores in North America has been shared, sparking controversy. The website in question is currently blocked.


Recently, the New York Post and others reported that a U.S. map website called 'Dogequest' has been shared on social media platforms. This site recorded information on Tesla stores across the United States. Moreover, it did not stop at stores but also disclosed personal information such as the names, addresses, and phone numbers of individual Tesla vehicle owners.

The site operators reportedly stated that for Tesla vehicle owners, "If the owner provides proof that they have sold the Tesla car, the driver identification information will be deleted." The site is said to have been blocked due to accumulating reports.


Recently, Tesla has been suffering as it becomes the target of successive criminal acts. In Oregon, one person threw eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla store, causing damage, while in South Carolina, another suspect was arrested for throwing a Molotov cocktail at a Tesla charging station after writing disparaging remarks about U.S. President Donald Trump.

In addition, spray graffiti and Molotov cocktail attacks targeting Tesla drivers continue. On the 20th (local time), U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned in a press release, "If you participate in the domestic terrorism trend targeting Tesla, the Department of Justice will put you in jail." Attorney General Bondi stated that attacks on Tesla would be considered 'domestic terrorism' and responded accordingly.


Meanwhile, CEO Musk is leading the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration. DOGE has sparked controversy by aggressively restructuring the federal government, including dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
