Tesla Superchargers Torched in France Amid Escalating Anti-Musk Campaign

Twelve Tesla charging stations were set on fire in Saint-Chamond, Loire, as part of a growing wave of politically motivated attacks targeting Elon Musk and his company.

  • Twelve Tesla Superchargers in Saint-Chamond, Loire, were deliberately set on fire between March 26-27, 2025, with two completely destroyed and others damaged.
  • The phrase 'Campagne anti Tesla Born to burn' was found painted at the scene, linking the act to broader anti-Tesla sentiment.
  • This is the first known attack of this nature in the Loire region and adds to a series of global anti-Tesla incidents, including arson and vandalism.
  • The U.S. government has classified such attacks on Tesla as domestic terrorism due to their ideological and political motivations.
  • An investigation has been launched by the Saint-Chamond police department, though no arrests have been made so far.
