00:00A group of protesters from Extinction Rebellion, NYC, vandalized a Tesla dealership in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood on Tuesday.
00:10They sprayed the premises with messages protesting against the automakers CEO Elon Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency that he is heading, and the U.S. administration.
00:21One of the vandals was arrested on the scene by the police.

00:45Several individuals have been charged for arson and unlawful possession of destructive devices, with some facing up to 40 years in prison if convicted.
