A fitness coach, Kamelia Enzler, has been identified as the woman caught on camera keying a Tesla during a parking lot confrontation in Washington.
Enzler is facing charges of malicious mischief in the third degree after she was filmed vandalising a Tesla Model Y on March 20 at the Issaquah Commons shopping centre. Viral footage shared by journalist Jonathan Choe showed Enzler, dressed in a grey sweater, stepping out of her Toyota 4Runner, appearing agitated, before walking up to the Tesla and dragging her key across its surface. She then calmly returned to her vehicle.
Who is Kamelia Enzler?
Enzler is a millionaire fitness entrepreneur, who owns IPEAK FITNESS, a company she has since scrubbed from her social media presence, the Daily Mail reported.
She is married to Jeff Enzler, a lead software engineer at DocuSign, where he has worked for 12 years, Collin Rugg wrote on social media platform X. The couple resides in a $1.5 million home in Bellevue, a sought-after suburb of Seattle known for its lush greenery and lakes.
Public records show they purchased the property for $280,000 in 1998 and have since made a substantial fortune from it.
She has also deleted her LinkedIn profile following the viral incident.
Issaquah police have filed charges with the prosecutor’s office, but Enzler’s court proceedings remain pending.
Authorities say the act was not politically motivated, despite recent attacks on Teslas linked to Elon Musk’s association with the Trump administration. Instead, investigators believe it was a case of road rage.
According to Choe, the Tesla driver had a child in the back seat and was simply reversing out of a parking spot when Enzler allegedly flipped them off before vandalising the car.
The incident comes amid a rise in attacks against Tesla vehicles, though law enforcement has not linked this case to the wider trend. In recent weeks, a Tesla showroom and multiple vehicles have been set on fire in Seattle and Las Vegas, with vandals also using Molotov cocktails and spray-painted messages in protest against Musk’s government ties.
Attacks on Tesla properties have been on the rise across the US and abroad, with showrooms, vehicle lots, charging stations, and private cars being targeted. While no injuries have been reported, the incidents are becoming more frequent.
This surge can be seen since President Trump appointed Elon Musk to lead the new department of government efficiency, tasked with cutting federal spending.
Earlier this month in Seattle, four Cybertrucks were set on fire in a Tesla, and a man was seen pouring gasoline on an unoccupied Tesla Model S before setting it ablaze on a city street.
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, several Tesla vehicles were torched outside a service center on Tuesday. The word “resist” was spray-painted in red across the building’s front doors, and authorities say Molotov cocktails were thrown while gunshots were fired at the cars.
