Dozen Teslas torched outside French dealership: authorities

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.

The prosecutor's office told AFP an investigation has been opened into Sunday night's attack on a dealership near the southern city of Toulouse which left eight cars burned out.

Another four cars were badly damaged amid evidence the blaze was "not at all accidental", said the prosecutor's office.

Philippe Guyot, mayor of the Toulouse suburb of Plaisance-du-Touch, told AFP firefighters had quickly determined that the cause of the blaze was criminal, adding the dealership premises had not been targeted.

A handful of anti-Tesla actions have occurred in Europe since Elon Musk's rapprochement with US President Donald Trump, his backing of European far-right parties and attacks on diversity.

Sales of Tesla cars halved year-on-year in January 2025 in Germany and France.

The average French must have a huge carbon footprint with all that arson going on

Any idea for eco friendly industrial sabotage? This is definitely purely hypothetical

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The clue is in the word: drop sabots/clogs into things.

Sabots/clogs are:

  • organic
  • renewable
  • recyclable

And they store, rather than release, carbon. The eco-friendliest sabotage is sabots!

...shoes? I must be missing something

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called "sabots" in French) into the machinery's gears, thus damaging it.

Oh cool, thanks for the explanation! I guess super glue in the charge port or something would work for a Tesla

Industrial sites probably need a lot of electricity, they might even have their own substation

Aren't bodies compostable?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Like most meat, actually composting bodies would require a very hot composting temperature, constant mixing, and you'd want to put it through a grinder first, or else it won't properly mix. Especially in the case of bones, those really need to be ground down so they can properly decompose.

Hypothetically, of course.

I envy the French and their ability to fucking be disobedient.
