Tesla in Germany Suffers Multiple Attacks from Environmentalists and Protesters
TapTechNews July 14th news, a Cybertruck pickup in the Tesla showroom in Germany was recently vandalized by environmentalists and splashed with orange paint.
On Saturday, relevant videos circulated online. The video shows several environmentalists in orange vests splashing orange paint on the Cybertruck parked in the Tesla store in Hamburg, Germany, while two people were holding a sign that read Gepanzertindiekatastrophe, which means armored in disaster in German.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk also responded to this incident. He retweeted a tweet later on Saturday that supported the opinion of a user who believed that if you really cared about the climate and ensuring a beautiful future, you wouldn't attack those companies that are making the greatest efforts in accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles and clean energy.
TapTechNews noticed that this is not the first attack suffered by Tesla and its superfactory located in Grünheide, Germany. Last month, in the Tesla store in Lauderdale, California, several Cybertrucks were also sprayed with the words fuck you Elon. In November last year, during the delivery event of Cybertruck, Tesla also received a threat of a mass casualty incident, and the publisher of this threat was later detained by the police.
Recently, protesters have also launched multiple attacks on the Berlin-Brandenburg superfactory. In March this year, some activists even set fire to a substation near the Grünheide factory, causing the factory to suspend production for several days. The protesters also built treehouses and occupied the nearby forest to prevent the factory from expanding in the future.
In May, about 1000 protesters from the Disrupt Coalition organization tried to force their way into the Berlin superfactory, resulting in 23 arrests, 76 criminal charges, and 27 police officers injured. Elon Musk then wrote in another tweet: Very strange things have happened since Tesla became the only car company being attacked.
