If you go onto any news site, headlines about Tesla are inevitable. Everyone’s mad at Musk—and some people, unfortunately, take it out on privately owned Teslas. YouTube is full of Sentry camera footage showing angry Musk protestors keying, scratching, spray painting, or putting stickers on parked EVs.

Texas is proving to be a dangerous place to be a Tesla owner. A Cybertruck owner recently appeared on the news to discuss a man in a Ram pickup trying to run them off the road just for driving the EV. A man in Houston was arrested for keying a parked Tesla in a Whole Foods parking lot.

Recently, a man in Dallas attempted the same stunt: keying a parked Model X at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. When the owner saw the damage, he checked the EV’s Sentry footage and saw the vandal in high definition.

He posted the video to catch the man, later identified as Rafael Hernandez, and he was later arrested and charged with criminal mischief.

The Tesla owner wasn’t ready to let it go

After the vandal was put in the back of a squad car, the owner, who opted to remain anonymous, hired an attorney: Majed Nachawati. He suggested that he take Hernandez to court for a whopping $1 million.

Both parties know the cost of repairs (and the value of the vehicle) is well below that, but it’s the principle that inspired the demand.

“It’s a fine line between civility and anarchy,” Nachawati told CBS. “This matter has nothing to do with his political persuasions or affiliations. He happens to believe that Tesla, his Model X, is one of the best cars he’s ever owned. And he enjoys driving it, plain and simple.”

The attacks on privately owned EVs are troubling, he says

More importantly, he says it’s a sign of a very concerning problem.

“We don’t allow people to act out based on what they believe their political affiliations are and what upsets them and who they are upset with, and allow them to take things into their own hands and become essentially a vigilante… What does that say about our country?” he said.

“Whether you’re a Republican, whether you’re a Democrat, I believe anyone who sees the video and who sees what happened would believe that deterrence would be the biggest part of this case.”

Viewers want the owner to win

Despite opposing political views, all 233 commenters on CBS’s video on YouTube agreed on one thing: private owners are the problem. Most wrote that they hope he wins the lawsuit.

“I’m all for the million-dollar lawsuit,” they wrote. “You gotta send a message!”

Another said the Tesla owners vs. Musk protestors war is getting old.

“This is getting so pathetic,” they wrote. “A grown man keying a Tesla. This needs to stop.”

Someone else wrote Hernandez was just reaping what he sowed.

“It’s almost like actions have consequences,” their comment read. “Plain and simple!”
