The Austin Police Department reported on Monday that they discovered explosive devices at the Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas following an anonymous call.

"When officers arrived on scene, they located suspicious devices, and called the APD Bomb Squad to investigate. The devices, which were determined to be incendiary, were taken into police custody without incident. This is an open and ongoing investigation, and there is no further information available for release at this time," the department added.

This event marks another incident targeting a Tesla facility. The company has faced criticism, including death threats, due to CEO Elon Musk's involvement with the Trump administration.
