Tesla owners alarmed by Dogequest website listing personal information

The dogequest website published a partial list of Tesla owners alongside their personal information.

Tesla owners confirmed on Wednesday that an online map decorated with an image of a Molotov cocktail includes accurate personal information about them, such as residential addresses, raising fears that activists opposed to billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk could target them for vandalism. 

The online map went live Monday, displaying the names, addresses and contact information of some Tesla owners and dealerships and members of the Trump administration in an attempt to whip up further backlash against Musk for his role in the Trump administration. 

Musk condemned the website, writing Tuesday on X: “Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!” 

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a statement on X Tuesday that the bureau was "actively working on the Tesla incidents and the swatting incidents."

The website, which was intermittently inaccessible Wednesday, encourages visitors to commit vandalism, including by using a spray can to “unleash your artistic flair” on a nearby Tesla and through other “creative expressions of protest.” And in a reference to the escalating vandalism of Tesla vehicles and facilities in recent weeks, the cursor on the desktop version of the map is an image of a Molotov cocktail.
