Toulouse (France) (AFP) – A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor’s office said Monday.
Probably the batteries, yeah?
Yeah, lithium batteries are well known fire hazards.
And once they get going, they get going, google thermal runaway for some interesting videos.
To fight a thermal runaway you need to cool it down fast, ice is commonly recommanded.
EV fires are fought by flooding (most commonly)
I think all the ice is being used to kick out illegal immigrants though.
Ohhh, ice for the required melting energy? I thought that would be offset by the more difficult handling and lower flow rates. Interesting.
No, no, you just deport the battery so it explodes in someone else’s country.
So would a snow machine work ?
No, but snow would probably be effective at cooling down a battery experiencing thermal runaway
Ooooh, lithium fires
Antifa colors.
All Tesla dealerships are all directly owned by Tesla, right?
I believe so yes https://www.cato.org/regulation/summer-2014/tesla-car-dealers-lobby
They did nazi that coming
I think - for their own safety, of course - we should gather more of these Tesla vehicles together in a central location so they can be isolated from the population at large… Perhaps in some sort of tent-based accommodation?
Not one of your best jokes.
Nazi jokes are funny.
I bet Jewish people just love a good nazi joke.
Jokes with the word nazi in them aren’t necessarily nazi jokes.
The only nazi joke right now is elon and he isn’t funny.

Again theres only one nazi joke, it’s elon. I didnt make any nazi jokes, I made a joke about a nazi that had the word nazi in it. Relax

Now these are actual nazi jokes.
I get what point you are trying to make but you have to realize that to basically everyone there is a big difference between these jokes and what RedditWanderer has said.
I did Nazi see this cumming.
Lol it’s just a nazi joke.
It’s harmless.
Next up mild transgender jokes.

See how those are unfunny nazi victim jokes, instead of Elon jokes calling him a nazi
And not even using it lightly like “a grammar nazi”, Elon is literally doing sieg heils on political podiums, literally a nazi.
Edit: ok there mister 8 hour old account coming to Elons defense.

Once again the French demonstrate that they know how to raise hell.
We need to get more like the French.
There was a post here the other day asking if vandalism was OK because someone wrote something with their finger on a muddy swasticar.
Now this is vandalism. Or possibly an accident, batteries like to burn violently and Tesla isn’t known for build quality or safety…
Guess you haven’t seen https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39116529
Well, that’s a start.
Also, describing Molotov cocktails as “explosive devices” seems just a little misleading.
It’s true, the French are much better at revolution than Americans.
That’s a shame. /Seinfeld
Oh no. Anyways
Get these French folks to Grünheide ASAP!
In before the shit lobs start crying about how you’re only hurting the poor working class Tesla dealership owners, not Elon himself.
It’s already here.
I’ve seen assholes right here on lemmy decrying “I bought one before I knew he was a POS! How dare you imply I should sell it!”
Same fuckers crawl out of the woodwork to defend food delivery apps because “but some people need them!”
The reality is Americans are soft as fuck and are not ready for the hard times that are coming.
Good thing Tesla follows a direct sales model and their dealerships are really just company owned store rooms as opposed to some massive corporate go-between that’s “only there to protect customers” while inflating financing pricing to skim $$, bolting on overpriced accessories, etc. Those massive corporate interests that spent $80.8 million lobying for their existence in 2022 are surely here to help the little guy/gal.
Get the nazi traitors and Putin assets out of Europe. Or at least their businesses.
That second sentence isn’t needed. Get Nazis and Putin assets out of Europe.
The French get shit done, unlike weak Americans.
Nice
No! Now they can write them off on their insurance! They needed to have them languish unsold taking up retail space for years and learn to regret their purchase.
Naa their insurance rate is going to go through the roof! Or at least on fire.
France is literally protesting better than the USA over our own issues…
It’s because your issues are everyone’s issues.
Yeah - I just wish our leaders (Democrat ones) would call for protests at least. It would help. Instead we twiddle our thumbs as our institutions are destroyed. I haven’t heard of a single protest for the tariffs today that nobody wants but Trump and Putin…
