As far as I can judge this latest picture of a TESLA protest in Tottenham is genuine.
This and previous Tottenham protests have been queried and there is a reason for that.
Tesla Tottenham is based off the North Circular Rd in North London, a 1930s ring road that goes around London (the South Circular Rd in Sarf). Its address is Unit 3 Ravensdale Retail Park N18 3HA. This places it in Edmonton in the London Borough of Enfield, while Tottenham is in the neighbouring Borough of Haringey.
Why Musk calls it Tottenham TESLA is not clear, but hopefully not because he is thinking of buying Spurs, whose ground is not that far away.
As for the protests North-East London has a large community of radical activists with very long experience of protests, agitprop etc. Led By Donkeys, the group that specialises in visual stunts aimed at right-wing politicians hail from Hackney. There is nothing to suggest they are behind this protest btw.
As a Tottenham resident and a lifelong non-driver- public transport is decent unlike most other UK Cities- I am hardly best placed to know what TESLA demand is like in North London. The media report that unlike the rest of Western Europe TESLA sales are not dropping.
I can say that there is now an electric vehicle charging point in my central Tottenham residential road, but not any obvious sign of parked TESLAs.
Anyway whoever is doing the protests clearly more are required.
