  • A roughly 2.8-kilogram rock fell onto a parked Tesla near Haeundae Beach in Busan on July 10, piercing the roof and landing inside the vehicle.
  • No one was in the car, but police have yet to identify a suspect after checking CCTV footage, nearby apartments and vehicle dashcam recordings.

A rock weighing about 2.8 kilograms smashed through the roof of a Tesla parked near Haeundae Beach in Busan, leaving police searching nearby apartments for clues.

The incident occurred on July 10 in a parking lot in Haeundae district. The stone had a rounded shape, measured about 19 centimeters by 12 centimeters and was found inside the car after breaking through its roof. No one was inside at the time, so there were no injuries.

Haeundae police reviewed closed-circuit television footage and questioned people around nearby apartments and residential areas. Two months later, however, they have not identified a suspect. Investigators said the surrounding vehicle dashcams were too far from the scene, while blind spots in the CCTV coverage made the case difficult to solve.

The damaged vehicle was a Tesla Model X worth more than 100 million won. It had been delivered about two weeks before the incident. A police official said investigators had searched nearby apartments and residential areas but had not yet found a lead.

We searched nearby apartments and residential areas, but so far no clue has emerged.
