An unidentified man was caught on camera allegedly keying a Tesla on Sunday outside a Portland Hearts of Pine soccer game, and the vehicle’s owner is offering a $500 reward to anyone who can identify the alleged vandal.
“Last night at the @hearts_sc game, my car was keyed. It was parked in Deering Park near the tennis courts. Thanks to Sentry mode, Mike found footage of the individual keying the car. I’m unsure if this person attended the game, but I did find a couple of photos from the event that may resemble their appearance,” said the Tesla’s owner, Tenni Luna, on Instagram on Monday.
“We just filed a police report, and hopefully, this person can be identified and held accountable for their actions,” she added.
Luna shared footage from the Tesla’s Sentry Mode camera, appearing to show the vandal keying the car, along with footage showing the damage done to the vehicle.

She shared pictures of a man whom she believes to be the vandal and described him as wearing “a blue raincoat, baggy brown pants, dark boots, a white beard, and a black backpack. He also seems to have a red mark on his face, which could be the hearts that people had on their faces for the game.”

Luna filed a police report on Monday and clarified that she fully intends to press charges against the alleged vandal.
Since President Donald Trump took office and appointed Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), many of the nation’s liberals have turned dramatically and in many cases violently against the very electric vehicles they once revered.
Across the country, there have been repeated incidents of vandalism, often caught on the Teslas’ onboard security cameras. In many cases, that security footage has led to criminal charges, with defendants facing years in prison.
In the most extreme cases, vandals, often members of the LGBTQ community, have attempted to, or succeeded in, firebombing Tesla dealerships themselves, in an attempt to harm Musk, who they see as partially responsible for President Trump’s election victory.
