In addition to the vehicles destroyed by the flames, the building of the Tesla dealership, located in the eastern neighborhood of Torre Angela, on the outskirts of the Italian capital, was partially damaged.
It is worth noting that in recent times, Tesla vehicles have become a target of vandalism in several countries, in response to Elon Musk’s closeness to U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as the support that the Tesla CEO has been giving to far-right movements in the United States and Europe.
