Berlin in flames: Political arson suspected in Tesla fires
Four Tesla cars burned in Berlin overnight from Thursday to Friday. The police suspect arson with a political motive.
Four Tesla cars went up in flames in different areas of Berlin overnight from Thursday to Friday. Police suspect it's a series of arsons, possibly with a political motive. The investigation is being conducted by the Berlin Criminal Office (LKA) security division, which handles political crimes.
The fires broke out within 30 minutes in different districts of Berlin, also damaging five other vehicles. All four Teslas were destroyed by fire. The fire department quickly extinguished the blaze, but the losses are significant.
Four Teslas burned in one night. German police suspect a deliberate action
According to Tagesschau, Tesla is having difficulty selling in Germany. In February, sales dropped by 76 percent year over year. Experts suggest this is due to Elon Musk's actions, as he has become an unwelcome figure in Europe.
On Platform X, Musk expresses his support for the AfD. In Germany, praise from the USA for the right-wing populist party discourages potential customers from buying Teslas.
Once proud of his Model Y, graphic designer Patrik Schneider has now designed a sticker that's gaining popularity among former brand fans. The sticker reads: "I bought this before Elon went crazy."
