A Seattle-based fitness coach has been identified as the woman caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla during a parking lot dispute.
Kamelia Enzler, 55, is facing charges of Malicious Mischief in the Third Degree after she was filmed scratching a Tesla Model Y with her keys at the Issaquah Commons shopping center on March 20, police confirmed.
Reposting the video, Elon Musk wrote, "Shame on them"
Viral footage of the incident, shared by journalist Jonathan Choe, shows Enzler stepping out of her Toyota 4Runner in a grey sweater, exchanging a few words, and then deliberately keying the parked Tesla before calmly returning to her car.
While the keying occurred amid a string of Tesla-related attacks reportedly linked to Elon Musk’s political affiliations, investigators do not believe Enzler’s actions were politically motivated. Instead, they have described the incident as a case of road rage, according to the Daily Mail.
Choe reported that the Tesla driver had been reversing out of a parking spot with a child in the back seat when Enzler allegedly flipped them off before confronting the vehicle. However, no further details on what may have triggered the altercation have been provided.
Enzler, who has since deleted her LinkedIn and social media accounts, is the owner of fitness company IPEAK Fitness, according to public records. She is married to Jeff Enzler, a lead software engineer at DocuSign, where he has worked for 12 years.
The couple resides in a $1.5 million home in Bellevue, a scenic suburb of Seattle known for its greenery and lakes. They originally purchased the property for $280,000 in 1998 and have since seen its value skyrocket, Daily Mail reported.
