Tesla Vandalized with Corrosive Substance at San Jose Elementary School

San Jose, CA – A shocking act of vandalism has left a Tesla vehicle severely damaged by an unknown, corrosive substance, all within the premises of Schallenberger Elementary School. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, November 11, around 7:45 p.m., has prompted an investigation by the San Jose Police Department.

The targeted vehicle, a Tesla, belongs to an employee of the school located at 1400 Schallenberger Road.

Initial reports and photographic evidence reveal the extent of the damage, which is considerable. An unidentified, noxious substance was apparently poured over the car, leading to significant and widespread destruction. Images circulating show the corrosive material has not only melted away the vehicle’s paint but has also caused panels to warp and deform, indicating a powerful chemical agent was used.

Witnesses and first responders were quick to note the severity, with the substance appearing to have eaten through the car's exterior, leaving a trail of disfigurement.

The precise nature of the substance remains a mystery, adding a layer of concern regarding potential environmental hazards and the deliberate intent behind such an attack. The financial ramifications for the vehicle's owner are expected to be substantial, with repairs likely to be extensive and costly, possibly even deeming the car a total loss.

San Jose Police are actively investigating the incident, treating it as a case of felony vandalism.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward, hoping to identify the perpetrator(s) responsible for this brazen act. The community of Schallenberger Elementary, while relieved no one was physically harmed, is understandably disturbed by the targeted nature of the crime and its occurrence on school grounds.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of property crime and the devastating impact it can have on individuals.

As the investigation continues, the focus remains on bringing those responsible to justice and understanding the full scope of this destructive act at a seemingly tranquil elementary school.
