At the time of McIntire's arrest, he was studying physics at the University of Massachusetts.
When the Kansas City Tesla dealership was firebombed, police said several Cybertrucks were set on fire at around 11:15pm on March 17.
Investigators recovered a women's wide brimmed hat and a Molotov cocktail that failed to detonate at the scene. They believe another was used to damage the trucks.
Cops said the fire started at one vehicle spreading through the parking lot, also damaging two charging stations.
During an ensuing investigation, officers obtained surveillance footage from a resident's home a block away that allegedly showed McIntire parking his car outside.
Surveillance footage from a nearby business and from the Tesla Center itself also reportedly showed McIntire wearing dark clothing and a wide-brimmed hat.
The footage from the Tesla Center even allegedly showed McIntire lighting an apple cider vinegar bottle filled with fuel and throwing it at a Cybertruck.
He then allegedly returned to the resident's house and was seen leaving the area in his vehicle.
McIntire was tracked down using traffic cameras, GPS, cellphone records, and surveillance footage from Kansas City International Airport.
Authorities also said a DNA analysis from the wide-brimmed hat, which was found near the first witness' home, resulted in just one male profile.
At that point, McIntire was arrested on the University of Massachusetts campus. He remains out on bond while awaiting trial.
As part of his release, McIntire must now live with his parents in Parkville, Missouri, participate in mental health programs and take any and all prescribed medications.
He has also been ordered to avoid all Tesla dealerships, and will be under home confinement with electronic monitoring. His trial is set for August 11.
