Arson of Tesla Models. A Message by Someone Offended by Electric Cars or Just Vandalism?

Tesla vehicles were set on fire in apparent act of anti-EV vandalism

Tesla has more than its fair share of naysayers, but it's generally limited to some nasty internet comments or in the worst cases, some legislation preventing them from selling their cars directly to customers. Now it looks like some people are taking it to a new level as Tesla vehicles were set on fire in an apparent anti-EV/Tesla vandalism act.

From article, (Tesla has more than its fair share of naysayers, but it’s generally limited to some nasty internet comments or in the worst cases, some legislation preventing them from selling their cars directly to customers.
Now it looks like some people are taking it to a new level as Tesla vehicles were set on fire in an apparent anti-EV/Tesla vandalism act.
 In Amsterdam last week, two Tesla vehicles parked only about 100 meters apart were both set on fire by two arsonists.
One of the two Tesla owners caught the arsonists on camera.

Considering there were plenty of other cars around, it clearly looks like the Tesla vehicles were targeted. Though the actual motivation behind the act is less obvious.
It’s reminiscent of previous strange vandalism incidents of Tesla products, like when a Tesla Supercharger was sabotaged in 2016 or when a Model S was graffitied.
But burning cars is a whole new level.
Forget the criminal aspect to it, I mean if Tesla is the target here, that’s not the way to go. If anything the owners are in for a headache, the insurers are the ones who are going to pay, and Tesla is just going to have to make two more cars.)

  1. As the researchers explain, the tradeoff in lithium batteries occurs because the lithium anode and the cathode have requirements that are inherently contradictory. While the anode requires a rigid electrolyte to block dendrite growth, it is difficult for a rigid electrolyte to maintain sufficient contact with the solid cathode, which creates a highly resistive cathode/electrolyte interface.
