At least 17 Tesla cars were destroyed after a fire broke out at a dealership on the outskirts of Rome on Monday morning, according to Italian fire officials. No one was at the dealership when the fire broke out and no injuries have been reported.
The fire comes after a string of reports across Italy in recent weeks of Tesla vehicles being vandalized and defaced, with anti-Elon Musk and anti-Donald Trump sentiments written with spray paint.
Another car dealership burned down in northern Rome a week ago, destroying 30 cars, including used Teslas.
Also in Rome, several Teslas in the Garbatella neighborhood were defaced, according to police and social media posts.
Tesla dealerships in Milan have also been targeted by environmental groups in recent weeks.
Reports of Tesla vandalism have also surfaced in France and various parts of the United States, including the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast.

17 dang, Is that a high score?
The article says another location had 30. So AFAIK that would be the high score.
Nice.
The 100 mark is reachable
Shame
Insurance scam.
🥲
Those Tesla batteries are spontaneously combusting now?
Yes.
This is completely unrelated to panels falling off of their incel-camino model.
I think those have fireball batteries as well.
Elons going deep into the k hole after this one
If we’re lucky, he’ll go visit Matthew Perry.
Kinda disrespectful to Matthew Perry to say they’ll meet in the same place, which I assume for Musk is Satan’s unwashed taint.
Typical Roman suppression against Illyrians again. Tsk Tsk.
Couldn’t have been. I was with the fire all night, we were miles away
And nothing of value was lost.
Hitting a production line would be way more costly for k hole boy
But also a lot more difficult and dangerous to get access to the factory and destroy machinery than it is to set a few cars on fire in a parking lot.
I agree, I wouldn’t want to do either. But something like this is a lot more petty than they think it may be so it may not be worth doing unless you’re just going to go all out with it
Definitely wasn’t the Italian Antifascists because none of the teslas where flipped upside down.
Beautiful.
I’m surprised Trump and Musk aren’t up in arms about the “car body count”. “Won’t somebody think of the children… We want to put to work–on overnight shifts, on school nights–making cars like this!”
They are. Trump’s DOJ is trying to charge people with terrorism and hate crimes for defacing a Tesla.
Must have been act of god. Thoughts and prayers.
