A possible criminal fire attack in Rome destroys 17 teslas

Italian police are investigating a possible criminal fire attack on a Tesla dealer in Rome during the night that destroyed 17 cars, a source of security announced on Monday.

The Italian anti -terrorist police unit Digos conducts the investigation and examines the possibility that anarchists set fire to the cars on the eastern periphery of Rome, the source said.

Rome fire drones have shown the burnt remains of cars aligned in a parking lot, with two rows of consecutive vehicles and a third row at a certain distance.

Tesla cars have become targets of vandalism in several countries, in response to the right activism of the owner of the Elon Musk company.

The technological billionaire, who also owns X, joined President Trump’s administration and was supported by far -right parties in Europe.

The fire brigade said in a statement that the fire broke out around 04.30 am.

The dealer was partially damaged, but no one was injured.
