A bizarre scene unfolded in San Francisco last week when local Democrat activist Lena Carter was caught on security footage repeatedly keying her own Tesla Model Y in a parking garage.
Carter, a vocal advocate for climate justice and "eating the rich," later admitted she vandalized the electric vehicle to avoid being targeted by her own party’s increasingly radical factions.
Carter’s actions came shortly after a series of protests in California where environmental extremists defaced luxury electric cars, claiming they symbolized capitalist excess despite their eco-friendly credentials. The 34-year-old nonprofit organizer said she feared her Tesla, purchased in 2022 with inherited family money, made her a hypocrite in the eyes of her peers.
“I’ve spent years calling out billionaires and their greed,” Carter told reporters outside her apartment. “I couldn’t risk someone spotting my car and canceling me.”
