A fire broke out on the premises of a Tesla dealer in Rome last night. A total of 17 electric cars were affected by the flames and were severely damaged, the Italian fire brigade said.

Elon Musk reacts

Tesla founder Elon Musk commented on another user’s post about the fire on platform X in a single word: « Terrorism ». According to the fire brigade, the cause of the fire was initially unclear. The investigation ran. As the Italian news agency Ansa reported, all directions are currently being determined. Arson is therefore not excluded.

Fully burned -out vehicles could also be seen on photos on social media. The fire had broken out at 4.30 a.m., the flames could be deleted during the day. The building of the showroom, in which some Teslas were parked, was also damaged, as the fire brigade continued.

Protests against Musk

Most recently, vehicles from the brand in protest against Musk and his role as the highest savings commissioner of the government of the government of US President Donald Trump had recently been lit. Four Teslas also burned in Berlin a week ago. Other attacks were also directed against dealers and charging stations for Tesla electric cars.
