Tesla Fires Spark Investigation in Gothenburg

Published: 2025-02-22

In Gothenburg, Sweden, five Tesla cars have been targeted in arson attacks over the past week.

Two vehicles were set ablaze in the Lorensberg parking garage, while three other attempts were made in different locations.

Police have arrested a 35-year-old man suspected of all five incidents.

Evidence found at the scenes strongly suggests the fires were deliberate.

The suspect, previously detained and released earlier in the week, is now in custody again.

Authorities are investigating potential connections between the attacks, but the motive remains unclear.
