The Tesla brand has become increasingly unpopular, because CEO Elon Musk is involved in American politics. The employees are also affected by the displeasure of the customers: now the company has even set up hiding places so that employees can come to safety in the case of violent attacks.
Tesla has lost a lot of value since Musk from US President Donald Trump played an important role in his government team. As head of the Doge Authority, he is supposed to radically reduce the state apparatus – and acts with sometimes rabid methods. That is not well received by all citizens. The aversion to the behavior of the difficult adviser of the head of the state is also transferred to the electric vehicles of his Tesla brand.
In the United States, vandalism actions are increasing on Tesla vehicles, dealers and charging stations of the brand. Even in Italy a showroom was recently lit, 17 electric cars were flared up.
Employees can flee in the hiding place
Now the company apparently acts and takes precautions. As the “Handelsblatt” reports, their own reception for employees have been set up in some Tesla locations. In these buildings, employees must be safe against vandalism files of angry customers. In her report, the newspaper referred to an internal document from the company entitled: “Security for managers: threat and aggression against your team” (in German: safety for managers: threats and aggression against your team).
Tesla gives tips in dealing with AGGRO customers
It states that employees can be afraid of showrooms because there are violent customers.

There are also tips about the internal paper for dealing with improved customers: employees must show empathy and not personally take verbal attacks. The employees in role -playing can practice such difficult conversations with their colleagues.
Cybertrucks become retailers
The sales figures for the once coveted car brand also go back drastically. No wonder because Tesla owners must be afraid that their vehicle will be lubricated or lit during parking on the street. The cyberruck, which literally develops into a retailer, is particularly unpopular. Cars worth $ 200 million are practically flawless.
Even generous discounts do not help to stimulate sales. The SUV is a huge loss of loss for Tesla: experts estimate that the development costs have not even been occupied since the cyber truck was presented five years ago. The fact that a large recall campaign had to be started recently because body parts had fallen from cyber trucks will probably not help with the sales figures …
