In the capital of Italy, Rome, there was an incident in the Tesla automobile salon, which damaged 17 cars. The fire partially affected the building where vehicles were parked. According to the local fire department, the flame did not lead to serious damage to the structure, but the exact cause of the fire was not indicated.
No one was injured as a result of the incident. Firefighters and police worked at the scene, who took measures to eliminate fire. Damaged cars were found in the car dealership, but there were no threats to people's lives. It is known that there were no visitors or workers at the time of the fire.
The incident occurred against the background of a growing number of vandalism acts against dealership centers, charging stations and Tesla cars. These actions are likely to be a response to the actions of the head of Ilon Maska, in particular the management of the government's efficiency department (Doge), which causes dissatisfaction in the US.
The US media reported growing outrage among some citizens that may cause such vandalism acts. The fire in Rome can be one of the manifestations of this dissatisfaction.
Currently, the causes of the fire remain unknown, and investigative bodies study possible variants of its occurrence, in particular in the context of recent protests against the activity of Mask and its company. It is important to note that such incidents can have serious consequences for the company's reputation and its business in the international market.
