Gunshots fired at a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon Salem Police Department

A Tesla showroom in Oregon was struck by gunfire just weeks after an arson attack damaged the same dealership, according to local authorities.

On Wednesday, just before 5 a.m., Salem police responded to reports of damage at a Tesla facility. Officers discovered that several showroom windows had been shattered by gunfire.

No suspects have been identified, and no arrests have been made as of now. The FBI has joined the investigation alongside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and local law enforcement.

The same Tesla dealership, located in Salem, Oregon, was first targeted in January, when one of its vehicles was set on fire in what investigators suspect was an arson attack, Koin reported.

At the time, several window panels of the showroom were also found shattered, but no injuries were reported. The incident coincided with President Donald Trump's second inauguration, which Tesla CEO Elon Musk attended.

Authorities have not determined whether the attacks are politically motivated or connected to Musk's involvement with Trump, but the timing of the incidents has raised questions.
