A devastating fire destroyed 17 Tesla vehicles at a dealership in Rome's Torrenova district early on March 31. The blaze, suspected to be arson, also damaged parts of the dealership's structure.
Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, labeled the incident as "terrorism" on social media.
Investigators are examining surveillance footage and have not ruled out anarchist motives, as similar attacks on Tesla have occurred globally.
This marks the first such attack on Tesla in Italy, following recent vandalism incidents in Rome.
Authorities and Tesla are collaborating to uncover the cause of the fire.
