Tesla Dealership Fire in Rome Suspected as Arson Amid Global Backlash

Italian authorities are investigating a fire that destroyed 17 Teslas, with anarchist involvement under review as global protests target Elon Musk and Tesla.

A fire at a Tesla dealership in Rome destroyed 17 vehicles early Monday, with arson being investigated as a possible cause.
Italian police, including the special unit Digos, are reviewing surveillance footage and exploring potential anarchist involvement in the incident.
This marks the second major fire in Rome targeting Tesla vehicles in a week, following a similar blaze that destroyed 30 cars in northern Rome.
The attacks coincide with widespread protests and vandalism against Tesla globally, linked to Elon Musk's political role in the Trump administration.
Authorities in the U.S. and Europe, including the FBI, are treating these incidents as domestic terrorism, with investigations into organized funding and coordination ongoing.
