Dozen Teslas Torched in Suspected Arson Attack Near Toulouse 

Is Tesla’s European slump purely political? A dozen Teslas torched in France, seemingly in protest against Musk’s political stances. While the connection is being investigated, it raises the question: how much do a CEO’s politics influence consumer behavior? Are we seeing a new era of politically motivated purchasing decisions, or is this an isolated incident? Furthermore, with Tesla sales reportedly halving in key European markets, is this a sign of things to come? Could Musk’s outspoken nature ultimately damage the Tesla brand beyond repair, or will the company weather this storm? What factors beyond politics might be contributing to this sales decline? This incident begs a deeper discussion about the intersection of business, politics, and consumer activism. Share your thoughts – is this a trend, a blip, or something else entirely?
