Four Teslas Set Ablaze in Berlin; State Security Investigates Possible Extremist Ties

The fires, occurring within 30 minutes across separate districts, damaged five other vehicles, prompting an investigation into a potential political motive.

Four Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Berlin overnight, with incidents occurring in Treptow and Steglitz within a span of 30 minutes.
Five additional cars sustained damage from the heat and flames, but no injuries were reported in the incidents.
The State Security division of Berlin's Landeskriminalamt is investigating the fires, considering the possibility of politically motivated arson.
Tesla and its Berlin factory have been frequent targets of protests and attacks in recent years, often tied to environmental and political grievances.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether these incidents are connected to previous attacks on Tesla properties or products.
