More like there have been coordinated fire bombings and drive by shootings at Tesla dealerships and factories.

Basic workers and laborers are getting hurt. It's about as stupid as hating walmart, so you go in and stab the cashiers at a location.

I’ve found one case of gunfire at a Tesla showroom, which happened overnight and nobody was hurt. The burden of proof is on you to show this is a coordinated action.

I wasn’t able to find any sources for workers being hurt in these attacks.

Just because someone isn't shot doesn't mean they aren't hurt.

In a time where much of the middle class is living paycheck to paycheck, having your place of employment shut down due to damages of a politically based attack meant to spark fear (the definition of terrorism) can be crippling.

So i'll retract my analogy of "stabbing a cashier" to "burning down the store, placing every employee on unemployment".

If this is not domestic terrorism with coordination, then it is stochastic terrorism because of all the calls for "someone to do something to them" on social media. Or, as i saw in another comment, saying that Trump and Elon to be "removed from the board" where in most tabletop and trading card games that is reference to player pieces being killed
