Eight of the cars were completely “burned”, according to local authorities, who are convinced that the fire was an act of fire
–>
- At least twelve cars in a Tesla dealer in France were seriously damaged by fire, with damages estimated at € 700,000.
- Authorities suspect criminal fire due to several fire origins and specific car targeting, excluding damage to the building.
- The incident coincides with larger global demonstrations involving vandalism and targeted attacks against Tesla’s properties.
On Sunday evening, one or more people set fire to at least a dozen cars at a Tesla dealership in France, according to a magistrate from the Toulouse prosecutor’s office. The attack damaged the two vehicles for sale and customer cars for repairs. Although the reason is not clear, it seems to be the last, and perhaps the most serious incident, in the middle of the increasing tensions surrounding Tesla. Demonstrations targeting society and its CEO, Elon Musk, have increased in recent months.
The authorities say they believe it was a criminal fire in part because of the fire model itself. It seems that there were at least three separate fire origins and that no fire has damaged the building itself. Out of the twelve brown vehicles, eight have been completely destroyed, while four underwent partial damage. The prosecutor’s office called the fire “not at all accidental”.

According to Franceinfo, estimates of damage oscillate around 700,000 euros, or around $ 735,000 at current exchange rates. The video of the scene shows the extent of the destruction, including the cars burned so seriously that only their skeletal remains are left.
It seems that the fire has targeted a small group of cars, including several Y models and models 3. In another section of the lot, we see a 3 -model 3 model on the front but much better than some other cars in the lot.
In recent months, demonstrations and demonstrations against Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, have increased. The demonstrators screened the word Heil On the Gigafactory of Berlin. Others have set up anti-TESLA posters in London, while more demonstrators met outside of dealers in the United States in the last month.
One person was arrested for attempted attempted criminal fire for a concessionaire last week. At the same time, it seems very well of the most dangerous and most destructive nature. Although some vandals have targeted charging stations or individual cars, none has gone to this type of scale.
Tesla and Musk remain silent
Despite the growing wave of anti-TESLA actions, society and musk have largely silent. Aside from the previous declaration of Tesla producing vandals of prosecution to target the charging stations, there was little response. The French authorities, on the other hand, have not yet disclosed information on possible suspects.

However, consumers seem to make their position known with their portfolios. Tesla sales have undergone significant success in several European markets. In the first two months of 2025, sales fell 45% in France and Norway, while Sweden had a drop of 42% compared to the same period last year. Denmark was even harder, Tesla sales dropped by 48% in February only.
