Late Sunday night, a suspected arson attack destroyed eight Tesla cars and severely damaged four others outside a dealership in Plaisance-du-Touch, a suburb of Toulouse, France. Authorities believe the fire was deliberate, as indicated by the prosecutor's office. The fire followed a string of anti-Tesla actions across Europe, correlating with CEO Elon Musk's controversial political associations. The incident mirrors other attacks against Tesla vehicles, including recent fires at Supercharger stations. As investigations unfold, the local Tesla dealership was temporarily closed due to the incident.
Authorities are investigating a suspected arson attack that torched a dozen Tesla vehicles outside a dealership in Plaisance-du-Touch, a suburb near Toulouse, France, late Sunday night.
Philippe Guyot, mayor of Plaisance-du-Touch, noted that firefighters swiftly identified the blaze as criminal in origin, though the Tesla location itself was spared.
The attack follows a wave of anti-Tesla actions across Europe, fueled by CEO Elon Musk's growing political footprint, which has provoked backlash.
Just recently, multiple Tesla Superchargers were allegedly set on fire in Massachusetts, with local authorities commenting that the fire appeared to be 'intentionally set.'
