Jul 13, 2024, 09:54 AM

Climate activists attacked a Tesla Center in Hamburg, Germany, pouring paint over a Tesla Cybertruck. The activists, identified as members of the group 'Last Generation,' targeted the electric vehicle despite its role in promoting the German energy transition. The attack highlights a paradox in the activists' approach, as they vandalized an eco-friendly, electric vehicle that symbolizes a shift away from fossil fuels. The incident has drawn attention to the complex dynamics within the climate activism movement, especially as Tesla is one of the few foreign investors pushing forward the German energy transition. The attack also had implications for Tesla's stock, $TSLA.
