A Las Vegas man was charged with torching Teslas' rows with Molotov cocktails in a horrifying assault that got caught in camera.
Paul Hion Kim, 36, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department in Las Vegas on Wednesday, a week after at least three cars were swallowed by the flames at his local Tesla crash center.
Officials previously said the attacks have “some of the characteristics” of terrorism.

Many cars also destroyed the windows, but slogans like “resistance” were scribbled with red spray paint.
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Kim was charged with 15 counts covering property destruction, suspected arson and possession of fire equipment.
Security cameras captured a fiery vandalism. This became Inferno when one of the car's lithium batteries exploded with a fire ball.
“This was a target attack on Tesla's facility,” said Deputy Sheriff Dori Koren after the attack, “I believe they are in quarantine at this time.”
