A Tesla dealership in southern France was set on fire in a suspected arson attack, resulting in the destruction of 12 vehicles worth £550,000. The incident is believed to be part of a broader pattern of hostility towards Tesla, fueled by growing public outrage over Elon Musk's political involvement and his support for right-wing parties in Europe. The backlash has led to acts of vandalism and protests against Tesla, as well as a decline in the company's sales in key European markets. The suspected arson attack highlights the potential repercussions of Musk's political engagements on his business ventures in Europe.
