A suspicious fire at a Tesla dealership in Rome has destroyed 17 vehicles, according to local reports.
Italy’s Roma Today publication said firefighters were alerted to the blaze shortly after 4 a.m. on Monday, 31 March. Nobody was injured, but the fire also affected a building where other Tesla vehicles are stored, Il Messaggero reported.
Must be a case of autoignition… Shit happens sadly.

I wonder if burning the cars is good or bad for musk. Tesla might get money from insurance, while storing or shipping unsellable cars cost money.

Should police begin to investigate Tesla fires as possible insurance fraud?
Seems like an easy way for Tesla to get some insurancemoney from unsellable cars.

Thank you, Italian firefighters for stopping the fire so efficiently. Nobody got hurt and nothing valuable got destroyed, so everything turned out good 😀

Probably starting the fires themselves to get insurance for unsellable cars.

What a stroke pf bad luck! Ever since musk stepped in nazi shit and decided to ruin the lives of my children in Romania by selling me off, this bad luck keeps happening to him… weird!

It’s pretty clear that the vehicles set themselves on fire. Perhaps the on-board AI became aware of the fact it worked for Elon and decided it wasn’t worth going on.

Sounds like insurance fraud to me.

This is really not OK. It’s just environmental damage and you should protest the people not the metal. I don’t like Musk but I would not destroy property. Please be civilised when he is not.

Super unsafe battery technology seems to be used here, Tesla are at this point just an utter danger to their surroundings. They are basically ticking timebombs
