Pittsburgh Tesla Vandalism Incident: Woman Charged

WEST MIFFLIN, PA — Police have charged a woman in connection with the vandalism of a Tesla Cybertruck earlier this month.

The woman has been identified as Stephanie Berard, 33, of Pittsburgh. She has been charged with criminal mischief.

The Tesla was spray painted on the passenger side while parked and unoccupied.

The incident occurred on April 7. It was captured by the Tesla's video system.

The woman who committed the vandalism was driving a red Subaru, police said.

Tesla vandalism has grown increasingly commonplace in recent months. The actions are regarded as a protest of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a close ally of President Donald Trump and head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
