Police in San Francisco are investigating the burning of two Teslas early Saturday morning as arson, according to authorities.

A surveillance camera captured a person setting a Tesla on fire over the weekend. Firefighters said it was one of two Tesla Model Y's that burned down on the same night one block apart in the city's SoMa District.

Camera footage showed the arsonist setting papers on top of the front passenger tire of a 2020 white Tesla Model Y. He then used a lighter to burn the papers and walked away. Several minutes later, the front portion of the Tesla was engulfed in flames.
