Several incendiary devices were found at a Tesla dealership in Texas on Monday morning, the Austin Police Department reports.

Austin police found the devices just after 8 a.m. and called the department's Bomb Squad to help conduct an investigation.

The devices were removed with incident," according to ABC News.

As of now there is no information about who planted the devices. 

Vandalism of Tesla vehicles, charging stations and sales centers has been reported in many cities – including Kansas City, Seattle, Massachusetts, Las Vegas and Charleston, S.C. – since company CEO Elon Mush became part of the Trump administration and helped run its Department of Government Efficiency, which is slashing federal jobs and funding for federal agencies. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi says the recent attacks on Tesla properties are "nothing short of domestic terrorism."

“The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism," Bondi said in a statement last week.
