Authorities in Massachusetts are investigating an arson attack that damaged seven Tesla superchargers at a shopping center in Littleton. The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on Monday, engulfing the charging station in flames and heavy smoke. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze after the local utility company cut off power to the devices. The State Police Fire Investigation Unit, along with Littleton Fire and Police, determined the fire was deliberately set. No injuries were reported, and investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the Arson Watch Reward Program Hotline.

This incident follows another recent case involving a Tesla dealership in Colorado, where a woman was charged with multiple offenses, including the use of explosives. While the motives behind both incidents remain unclear, they come amid ongoing protests related to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
