On Sunday night, April 28, twelve new Teslas were set on fire at a major Tesla dealership in Holzgerlingen, south of Stuttgart (Baden-Württemberg region). The fire was reported to the police at around 2 a.m. by a local resident playing with his drone, and the damage amounted to half a million euros. In the words of the German press, investigators are “not ruling out arson”.

The Tesla distribution center at the Buch/Sol industrial park in Holzgerlingen has been in operation since 2022, and is the automaker’s largest in Europe. Recently, arson attacks on Tesla vehicles have occurred on several occasions throughout Germany.
