In a terrifying turn of events, Tesla owners are being doxxed by a website called Dodgequest. Recent reports show that the website presents private contact information of Tesla’s owners and shows their location on the map, exposing them to the risk of unwanted visitors. Say what you will about the sub-par quality of Tesla cars or Musk’s politics, but it is never acceptable to leak the private details of a family and risk their safety.
While this Dogequest Tesla map hasn’t explicitly urged viewers to harm the Tesla owners, it adds fuel to the fiery trend of damaging Teslas in the wild, whether in showrooms or privately owned spaces. This is particularly obvious when you see the cursor shaped like a Molotov cocktail, a homemade weapon often associated with protests.
There is something particularly chilling about normalizing such behavior and setting a precedent during an already unsafe period for the nation.
Tesla owners are being doxxed by Dogequest but the website appears to have been taken down for now.
Tesla Owners Doxxed, Dogequest Brings “The Purge” to Reality
“Doxxing” is the practice of revealing someone’s private details and location online, allowing other malicious actors to do the dirty work of putting the victim’s life and property at risk. The Dogequest website is now being exposed for doing something similar.
The news of the Dogequest Tesla map was first brought to light by 404Media, a top source for all things tech. While the revealed addresses of Tesla dealerships and superchargers would be one thing, the Tesla doxxing site claimed it had the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners in the U.S.
Not only had the Dogequest website exposed the names of the victims, but it also said that it would only pull their personal data off the site if they provided proof that they had sold their Teslas. With the situation, the way it is right now, even selling the Tesla may be extremely difficult for an owner who is worried about the safety of their family.
Blackmailing individuals into giving up property is not a great look for the Musk haters, especially when you consider that this will only serve to bring more attention to his cause. These tactics have only served to boost unity among Tesla owners, giving them ammo to state that the opposition is both thoughtless and cruel.
“At DOGEQUEST, we believe in empowering creative expressions of protest that you can execute from the comfort of your own home. DOGEQUEST neither endorses nor condemns any actions,” the website states.
Is the Dogequest Tesla Map Accurate?
It is hard to determine whether every single address on the shady map is accurate, but 404Media was able to confirm that at least a few were correct. The page was also able to confirm that some of the Tesla dealership locations were accurate, although some of the details on the map didn’t precisely reflect the actual on-ground locations.
It also appears that FBI Director Kash Patel was among those doxxed in the incident, but the accuracy of the data is unclear here as well.
The validity of even a few details is enough to make the site a dangerous one, although Dogequest appears to believe this is a lighthearted matter. The website markets itself as a “hub for enthusiasts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)!” and refers to the page for users to “explore an interactive map of DOGE landmarks.”
Was There a Tesla Privacy Breach That Leaked This Data?
The possibility of such a site existing and the consequences of Tesla owners being doxxed are both unpleasant, but it also brings up the question of how this data became accessible in the first place. There is no explanation available as of now, and it’s hard to pinpoint a source, other than perhaps Tesla, that could have had such information aggregated.
The locations of the dealerships and superchargers aren’t as difficult to find, but the addresses and personal details of the common folk who own the Teslas would take more work to consolidate. Perhaps a data leak from property tax records, the DMV database, or other official sources could also be blamed for the incident.
Musk acknowledged the existence of the website and called it an act of “domestic terrorism,” which we can take as confirmation of the fact that the contents of the website aren’t just a false alarm to be dismissed. We haven’t heard from Musk on what is being done to identify the source of this Tesla data leak.
Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!! https://t.co/8TCNIbrQxA

Is the Dogequest Tesla Map Still Up?
For now, the Dogequest map of Tesla owners and properties appears to have been taken down. This does not mean that Tesla owners can breathe easy as it will be just as simple to bring an alternative site up. The Tesla doxxing site had also encouraged users to set up their mirror pages when it was up, so there are likely copies of the website out there already.
Twitter/X users are on the hunt for the identity of the Dogequest site owner but no concrete details have been revealed so far. The conversation around the issue of Tesla owners being doxxed has now devolved into an exchange of threats between the two sides of the political spectrum, causing the political climate in the region to further worsen.
What’s Next for Tesla?
Tesla stocks have been underperforming for the last few months, and there has been a countrywide boycott of Musk’s offerings, particularly the Tesla car. While dealerships across the country have seen acts of violence and vandalism, this new threat of Tesla owners being doxxed is more worrying.
Now that the Dogequest website has been exposed for leaking what appears to be real customer data, we’ll see how authorities respond to the situation. For now, we have not heard any reports from families who have actually been affected by the Dogequest Tesla map’s doxxing.
