Russian? I meant rushin’ to light so many Tesla on fire.
Some readers may remember almost exactly a year ago nine Tesla were all set on fire in Berlin at the same time. It appeared to be a test of the city’s emergency response capabilities, yet never resolved.
“Neun Autos gehen in Berlin in Flammen auf!” […] At around 2 a.m., a dark Tesla burned on Paula-Fürst-Straße in Lichtenberg. A few minutes later another Tesla was on fire on An den Knabenhäuser Street!
Now again last night several Tesla were all set on fire in Berlin, presumably on the same or similar project.
German police said that four vehicles were set ablaze in the Plänterwald and Steglitz neighborhoods of Berlin…
The news today reads almost identically to last year.
The first car caught fire around 1:40 a.m. on Neue Krugallee in Treptow-Köpenick. Two other vehicles parked there were also damaged. Around 2 a.m., a Tesla caught fire on Albrechtstraße, and two others on Am Eichgarten in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district. Three parked cars were damaged.
Only four this year? That’s a significant drop in spontaneous Tesla combustion.
To be fair Tesla sales in Germany have plummeted nearly 80%. Could a 50% drop in fires be pivoted as a silver lining by the Nazi-adjacent brand? Remember, this is the same CEO who calls his repeated space ship explosions shutting down entire airports as progress. And this:
Billionaire Elon Musk… on Thursday reposted a message on X saying “Hitler didn’t murder millions of people…”
Hitler didn’t murder millions? Yeah, ok Musk. And you didn’t salute Hitler. Sure, yeah, wink. I get it.
Maybe it’s not a group or a test after all. Maybe it’s not someone rushin’ to light fires when it’s… just a German winter weather pattern that causes a Tesla to self-destruct at exactly 2am on a wet cold morning. Is it like how SpaceX rockets within 10 minutes are supposed to rapidly disassemble billions of taxpayer dollars into toxic burning debris?
Notwithstanding Tesla and SpaceX fire faster marketing, the Berlin Police say just like last year that arson is suspected.
