These dudes must be living under a rock to not know how many vandals have previously been caught Tesla Sentry Mode and later on faced shame and charges — this latest event happened in Las Vegas around 2:00 AM inside the Park MGM Casino’s parking lot where two young men tried to vandalize a Tesla Model 3 charge port.

The Sentry Mode recording starts when two guys enter the parking lot to leave in their 5th-gen Nissan Maxima when they saw a Tesla Model 3 calmly feeding on electrons at that hour of the night — can understand that feeling when you have an ugly ancient car that pollutes the planet and suddenly you see one of the most beautiful and futuristic cars, but what they did cannot be justified.

The reason for damaging the charge port comes from the anger as when the first guy approaches the Model 3 and tries to use the door handle, he had no clue how it worked, so he retreated back to his car but the other guy enters the scene and directly goes for the charge port, and violently starts to pull the cable (would’ve been dangerous for him as well), being unable to damage the cable or unplug the port, both men then started kicking the charger and the port.

According to the owner Fernando C via InsideEVs, no damage to the charge-port, car body incurred as a result of their vandalism, but still:

In Nevada, an “overt act” towards committing a crime is enough for an attempt to be legally punishable.

It is clear that their intent was to damage the vehicle and where the camera couldn’t see at least two of these several friends had pre-planned to do what they were doing as we don’t see any verbal communication between the act, they knew what they had to do, here’s the video.
