Where you intend to stay is part of the questioning when you enter and they can get quite suspicious if you don't have a plan. Source: An Austrian, white friend of mine who went to the US. He also just wanted to travel around but was warned in advance (by other, mostly white europeans) that he shouldn't state that when asked. It's just not worth the risk.
While that's not the same as having to show hotel bookings for the whole stay, it is a thing travelers have had to worry about for quite some time now. I'm sure it's worse and more complicated for anyone of color.

The original commenter said that burning down Teslas might destroy the owners life. This is a car that costs somewhere between 40000 (?) and 150000 dollars. Someone who can afford that is highly likely to recover. That's what this commenter pointed out.
Stating that isn't saying that it's cool to burn down a random person's car.
