Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor's office said Monday.
Probably the batteries, yeah?
C'mon, please don't generate revenue for Tesla - not even from insurance policies. It makes more sense for the cars to just stand around and rust despite the stainless steel. Nobody wants to buy from that goddamn Nazi anyway.
But hey, maybe Musk had the cars set on fire himself - that would be a rather harmless insurance scam compared to his other activities...
Two people on my block have bought Teslas since the inauguration :( I'm in NYC
Tell them a random guy on the internet says they should be ashamed of themselves.

Spray them with salt water! Accelerate that rusting process!
So you're saying to throw salt at the vehicles. Got it.

Nice
Setting EVs on fire is really bad for the environment. Can't people just mess up these cars by cutting cables?
People? No. Weasles? Yes.
/me starts handing out "/s" shaped molotov cocktails
I think these bottles would be more appropriate. Odd how Musk's tequila brand looks like an s from the SS logo. Im sure that's unintentional.

Edit: For those unaware this is real and as someone with a multi-decade history of collecting and selling agave spirits at retail it is fucking awful for the money.

I imagine they don't want to stick around too long
And have them be easily repairable?

Good news to start the day :)
I wish it produced less pollution, but if it kills Tesla sales in Europe its probably a net benefit.
Yes, it’s good to see something fun in a middle of all these miserable days.
They did nazi that coming
I think - for their own safety, of course - we should gather more of these Tesla vehicles together in a central location so they can be isolated from the population at large... Perhaps in some sort of tent-based accommodation?
Not one of your best jokes.
Nazi jokes are funny.
I bet Jewish people just love a good nazi joke.
Jokes with the word nazi in them aren't necessarily nazi jokes.
The only nazi joke right now is elon and he isn't funny.
I'm surprised this hasn't been happening in the US
They just catch fire sometimes, so it's hard to tell.
They must really hate that dealerships insurance company. I don't think that even registeres with Elon.
To hurt them you have to strike closer to home.
Spring season. Fires. Expectable.
I wasn't there though... Do it again so I can see.
