Overview

  • The 'Tesla Takedown' movement has organized a global day of action on March 29, 2025, with protests planned across 500 locations, including one confirmed event in Beauvais, France.
  • Tesla's stock has dropped 35% since January 2025, while European sales have fallen by 49% year-over-year in the first two months of the year.
  • The movement, originating in the U.S., aims to expand internationally, targeting Tesla's brand and financial standing as a symbolic act of resistance against Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
  • A recent Ifop survey reveals that 62% of French consumers support boycotting American products, with Tesla as a primary focus due to Musk's controversial actions and Trump-era policies.
  • Organizers emphasize the protests as peaceful, though some incidents of vandalism have been reported, prompting Donald Trump to threaten legal action against perpetrators.
