Vandalism is not necessarily covered in each fully comprehensive insurance and not at all with partial. Additionally the owner has to cover potential damages to the environment caused by the fire and leakages. My parents had to cover multiple thousand bucks for leaking gasoline into a nearby pond after their cars have been set on fire.

The Tesla Model Y has been the best selling car for months if not years and if it was not the top 1 or 10% buying multiple of these cars, they will have been bought by regular citizens.

Talking about the top 1% or even 10% by wealth we will be in the region of at least multiple million dollars of net worth.

So no, burning private cars - especially the ones parked on public streets - will not harm the rich nor the company.
