Suspect shot at Tesla driver in Spotsylvania County: Road rage, or political?

Virginia State Police are working to locate the driver of a vehicle involved in a road-rage shooting on Interstate 95 in Spotsylvania County on Friday.

Because the vehicle that was shot at is a Tesla, you do have to wonder, was this political?

Are people still that mad at Elon Musk?

Probably.

The Tesla was struck by gunfire multiple times by a shooter in a black pickup truck, possibly a black Toyota Tacoma, according to VSP.

The incident took place at the 122 mile marker on I-95 at 2:15 p.m. on Friday.

There were no injuries.

Anyone who has information about the interaction between the two vehicles is asked to contact Virginia State Police Division II Dispatch at 804-750-8778.
