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.
The incident comes as CEO Elon Musk’s aggressive cost-cutting efforts at DOGE have sparked a backlash against his EV maker.
No, the incident comes as Musk reveals he’s a fucking Nazi. Quit the bullshit. Elon Musk is a Nazi. The DOGE stuff is icing on the Nazi cake.
Agree. That is such an america centric view. Why would italians give enough fucks about DOGE to burn a Tesla store about it. Being a Nazi is what is our primary issue with Musk here in Europe.
you mean they’re not burning teslas to protest the loss of our social welfare programs 🥺?
I wish it was being taken seriously here. Many in America, including Democrats, think calling these maniacs traitors and Nazis is hyperbole/ rhetoric/ exaggerration/ propaganda, but it isnt. Its exactly what they are, and the sooner people understand and internalize that, the sooner we can purge them from our government.
My great grandfather was a hero. He along with others discovered the cure for fascism, and he helped so many poor souls afflicted by this terrible disease.
However, I don’t believe he foresaw the possibility that it could become a family tradition. I certainly hope not, but things are going to get so much worse.
There’s that darn 4th branch again, trying to manufacture the thoughts we think.
10 years from now, I hope we all remember how EVERY SINGLE mainstream news outlet refused to call what Musk did a Nazi salute. I hope that we can all see that they work solely for the billionaire class. And I hope that we can still see all that, even when they’re “on our side”.
Fuck America.
That’s why it was so shocking when a judge recently compared them to Nazis, and even implied that the Mazis were kinder! Unfortunately, many MAGA Trairors woumd be proud of that.
Also, I have NEVER heard a news personality call any of them Traitors, despite an Insurrection, the False Electors Plot, hundreds of stolen classified documents, turning against our allies, smooching the world’s worst authorities, etc.
By any objective measure, Agent Krasnov is the most prolific traitor in American history, more than all other American traitors COMBINED.
And yet not one talking news head has ever called him a Traitor.
Damn teslas are really explody
A charged Li-Ion battery aflame is no joke, as we saw when it was the Galaxy Note 7. It’s a major concern for EVs catching fire in tunnels, parking garages, and ferries. They are SUPER HARD to extinguish- legacy techniques don’t really work.
Another example: In August of 2012, an explosion and fire occurred in one of the lithium-polymer batteries on the Foss hybrid tug CAMPBELL FOSS. - the reinstallation report
Here’s the report of the event itself: https://professionalmariner.com/battery-related-fire-damages-famed-hybrid-tug-puts-it-out-of-service/
I vaguely recall a story from a year or two about one of those giant ocean-crossing car carriers that had an EV on board catch fire. Something like 500 of the 4000 cars on board were EV’s. I think they ultimately saved about 1000 of those cars after the fire was put out.
Edit: easy find…

Thank god, ol’ smarty Musky built a tunnel with no safety features for all those Teslas.

You. Could. Not. Pay me…To get into that stupid friggin’ tunnel. How on earth did that thing actually get built?!
The flooding potential is bad enough, but otherwise, it’s not a matter of “if” people are gonna die horribly of fire or toxic inhalation in a confined concrete space with no escape, it’s absolutely “when.”
And this is why most corporations get rid of their CEOs if they become toxic to the brand. But Musk has placed people who are loyal to him on the board. That’s how he stole the company from its original founders and this is how he’ll be allowed to run the company into the ground as if he owned it.
Some of them are in protest, some are insurance fraud because teslas don’t sell. Some just burn by themselves.
Some malicious compliance if you want to get rid of your Tesla, and don’t think anyone else should support them… Just set it on fire and blame vigilantes (I don’t endorse this).
Better malicious compliance would be protestors videotaping every dealership to catch and report insurance fraud.
I didn’t see nuffin
