Summary
A fire at a Tesla dealership in Rome’s Torre Angela district early Monday destroyed 17 cars and damaged the building. No injuries were reported, but investigators are exploring multiple causes, including arson.
The incident follows recent Tesla vandalism in Rome amid rising backlash against Elon Musk’s leadership and cost-cutting at DOGE.
Tesla has faced arson, protests, and boycott calls across the US and Europe.
The company’s stock fell 5% Monday, down 34% this year, with sales dropping sharply in both the US and Europe.
Better malicious compliance would be protestors videotaping every dealership to catch and report insurance fraud.
Insurance fraud?
Dealer torches their own stock that they can’t sell, blames protestors, and gets to write off all those cars with insurance payouts instead of just sitting on them
I’m guessing they mean catching dealerships setting their own vehicles ablaze to claim insurance money.
I don’t see that happening really though, sadly in my locale, these stupid jellybean caskets are selling and there’s more clogging up the roads by the day.
