Summary

A fire at a Tesla dealership in Rome’s Torre Angela district early Monday destroyed 17 cars and damaged the building. No injuries were reported, but investigators are exploring multiple causes, including arson.

The incident follows recent Tesla vandalism in Rome amid rising backlash against Elon Musk’s leadership and cost-cutting at DOGE.

Tesla has faced arson, protests, and boycott calls across the US and Europe.

The company’s stock fell 5% Monday, down 34% this year, with sales dropping sharply in both the US and Europe.
