According to a press release, officials from the Loveland Police Department in Colorado arrested Justin Thomas Nelson and formerly identified Lucy Grace Nelson just before midnight Monday.
She was back at her local Tesla dealership with more explosive devices and vandalism material, police said.
According to the arrest affidavit, the $220,000 car, worth a total of $220,000, was thrown with an explosive device made from an empty liquor bottle.
When Nelson was arrested, officers said they discovered that spray paint, gasoline, empty bottles and cans of cloth could have been accelerated into her car.
Police are investigating the possibility that others may be involved in repeated vandalism, Paget told the Post.
Authorities are still investigating Nelson's motives, said Chris Paget, the police department's information manager. However, he said protesting against Tesla's owner mask was “reasonable doubt.”
The suspect was arrested on charges of explosive use of devices, mischief of a criminal and attempting to commit a felony.
Nelson was booked into prison on a $100,000 cash bond. According to Padgett, she posted the bond and was released from prison on Tuesday.
Officials said they are working with the Federal Alcohol Administration, cigarettes, firearms and explosives, and said federal charges are likely to continue.
According to the police department, a Tesla dealer based in the same Loveland was destroyed and three separate explosive devices were discovered before arrests were made in January.
Padgett said details about the specific explosive devices will come later from federal authorities.
The dealership and the cars in the building itself were covered in graffiti that was “very aggressive” and “essentially lightly” in nature, Paget told Fox News.
