I know people think if you own a Tesla you're rich. Not true as many of us are just hard working not rich citizens.

How do we know the woman scratched the car because it was a Tesla? People vandalize other cars too, and it isn't always about the type of car. At least with a Tesla you can capture it like this, otherwise you got no evidence.
LOL thats the first thing I noticed! Glad I’m not the only oneshe wears old lady panties - no thong for her - just sayin...
This was clearly a premeditated behavior. If the OP doesn't know the woman (and we can see her face clearly on the sentry cam), then there was another reason she did it.
The fact that it's a Tesla is very high on the likely-cause list because for anyone who's paying even casual attention, there's a pattern of behavior here around Teslas (and to a lesser extent, other EVs).
Many people have vandalized Teslas simply because they're Teslas, along with the perceived idea of a Tesla owner's political views, socio-economic status, etc. Symbols matter more than ever. A Tesla in the mind of a would-be vandal represents a whole lot.
It's the same reason that some people 'roll coal' against EVs, or hate Teslas (and their owners/drivers). This extends to other EVs, but Teslas in particular attract peculiarly hateful, destructive, self-selected actors. You can park where you want, but sadly I think this self-selected group will find you, and here we have this knife-wielding vandal leaving her mark on the world. Or so she thinks.
Despite living in L.A. County, this is one of my concerns about owning a Tesla.
Keying someones car because they might be a "liberal" is possibly the saddest thing I have ever heard and while I know it's true, I really don't want to believe that would happen. I don't really have any fear of this though as I have insurance with a 0 comp deductible, sentry mode is a thing and well hopefully the police would take some time to help if not I guess it gives me something to do to kill time during COVID isolation.
I'm confused, why would you assume that a Tesla owner might be a liberal? I didn't think that vehicles could really hint towards the political views of the owner unless the company was strongly leaning towards the right or left.
I could see both sides not liking Teslas. If someone is far right, they 'might' be one of the people who coal-rolls a Tesla and parks in a supercharger spot with their truck, I would call those people stupid. If someone is far left, they 'might' think that they deserve a nice car like that as much as the person who worked hard for it and damages it for no other reason, I would call them pathetic. I actually think that the people identified on numerous videos where they damage a Tesla for no reason, seem to be doing it out because they are jealous and can't afford one themselves.
