Berlin blazes: Political arson suspected in Tesla fires
Four Tesla cars caught fire in Berlin on the night from Thursday to Friday. The police suspect arson with a political motive.
Four Tesla cars were set ablaze in different parts of Berlin during the night from Thursday to Friday. Police suspect these incidents form a series of arsons, possibly with a political motive. The investigation is being carried out by the Berlin Criminal Office (LKA) security division responsible for handling political crimes.
The fires erupted within half an hour across various districts of Berlin, also causing damage to five other vehicles. All four Teslas were destroyed by the flames. The fire brigade quickly put out the fire, but the losses are significant.
Four Teslas burned in one night. German police suspect a deliberate action
According to Tagesschau, Tesla is having trouble selling in Germany. In February, sales plummeted by 76 percent compared to the previous year. Experts attribute this to Elon Musk's actions, who has become an unpopular figure in Europe.
Musk expresses his support for the AfD on Platform X. In Germany, the USA's endorsement of the right-wing populist party deters potential customers from buying Teslas.
Once proud of his Model Y, graphic designer Patrik Schneider has created a sticker that is gaining popularity among former brand fans. The sticker reads, "I bought this before Elon went crazy."
