Four Tesla cars went up in flames in different parts of Berlin on the night from Thursday to Friday. Police suspect it's a series of arsons, with a possible 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, damaging five other vehicles as well. All four Teslas were completely 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 trouble selling in Germany. In February, sales dropped by 76 percent year over year. Experts attribute this to Elon Musk's actions, as he has become an unpopular figure in Europe.
On Platform X, Musk expresses his support for the AfD. In Germany, praise for the right-wing populist party from the USA discourages potential customers from buying Teslas.
As reported by PAP, graphic designer Patrik Schneider, once proud of his Model Y, has now designed a sticker that is gaining popularity among former brand fans. The sticker states, "I bought this before Elon went crazy."
