Tesla Fires Are Not an Initial Attempt

On the night from Monday, September 11 to Tuesday, September 12, 15 Teslas were set on fire in a parking lot in Frankfurt. An act claimed by a group already known for several actions.
Forty firefighters were mobilized around 3:00 a.m. to extinguish the fire that destroyed 15 Tesla for a total loss estimated at over 500,000 euros. In a plain anonymous letter titled “Tesla Ablaze”, the authors of this criminal act designated the American manufacturer as one of the “most important enemies” of the planet. The IAA Mobility exhibition, relocated from Frankfurt to Munich, was also used as a pretext for this spectacular action.
Besides the obvious danger of urban fires, the battery fire released toxic vapors to which local residents and brave firefighters responding to contain the fire were exposed. Do not immediately cast blame on electric cars; the result is not much better when a thermal car burns! Firefighters had to wait until morning to monitor a potential flare-up, while residents were advised to stay indoors and keep themselves sheltered.
The small group, more criminal than ecological, posted its demands on the digital platform Indymedia, known as the dumping ground for the worst eco-terrorist theories, far from the efforts of true environmentalists who tirelessly promote values of responsibility, virtuous development, and responsible awareness.
Far from being limited to this gloomy publicity stunt, the group called “Switch Off! – the system of destruction” openly describes in its publications acts of sabotage and civil disobedience. Among others, Amazon, France, Siemens, and even HKW, Berlin’s House of Culture are targeted. Michel Audiard would have enjoyed. The group notably boasted about puncturing around fifty Porsches’ tires in central Berlin. An equally foolish action but fortunately much less dangerous. The police probably judged that the joke had gone too far and stated they are on the trail of the responsible parties.
