An Issaquah woman reportedly caught keying a Tesla during a parking lot confrontation has been identified as a fitness coach allegedly worth millions of dollars.

Kamelia Enzler, 55, is facing potential charges of third-degree malicious mischief after she was filmed vandalizing another driver’s Tesla Model Y on March 20 at the Issaquah Commons shopping center, according to the Issaquah Police Department (IPD), as reported by the Daily Mail. (Update: the Issaquah City Prosecutor has clarified to MyNorthwest that the charges have not yet officially been filed, but it’s anticipated to happen on Friday.)

“IPD has now contacted the victim and confirmed that the altercation stemmed from a road rage incident which occurred on March 20, 2025 around 3:30 p.m., not the politically motivated attacks that have previously targeted Teslas and their owners,” IPD stated on social media.

Independent journalist Jonathan Choe originally posted the now-viral video.

The Tesla driver had a child in the back seat of the car when the incident occurred, which police say started with Enzler, driving a Toyota 4Runner, flipping the Tesla driver off before exiting her car, yelling at the driver, and eventually keying the Tesla.

Enzler owns a fitness company called iPeak Fitness, while her husband is a lead software engineer.

Attacks against Tesla on the rise

Tesla owners have been victims of attacks, vandalism, and harassment since the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, became the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with the Trump administration.

Locally, six Teslas at a dealership in Lynnwood were vandalized with swastikas and profane language directly related to Elon Musk. In another instance, a man was seen pouring gasoline on the hood of a white Tesla and setting it on fire in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

According to the Justice Department, which is vowing to charge people for vandalizing or destroying Tesla vehicles, one suspect threw eight Molotov cocktails at a dealership in Salem, Oregon, while another suspect attempted to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails in Loveland, Colorado. A third person “wrote profane messages against President Trump around Tesla charging stations before lighting the charging stations on fire” in Charleston, South Carolina.

The car brand has even become a target internationally, as four Teslas were torched in Berlin, Germany.

Last weekend, demonstrators gathered outside a Tesla dealership on Highway 99 in Lynnwood. Similar protests occurred in Virginia, Tennessee, New York City, and Florida.
