Tesla Inc (TSLA)

Here is another case of multiple Teslas combusting at the same time during an ebbing solar storm. Like most fires, this one happened at night.

Fire officials told the Elko Daily that the fire started in the second, or rear, trailer, which was carrying five Teslas and one Subaru. The driver was able to disconnect the front and rear trailers and move the truck out of harm’s way. No one was injured in the incident.

The fire was only located where the Teslas were. All 6 cars destroyed, 5 of them Teslas.

Tesla told the paper that the cause of the fire was related to the carrier truck itself, not to any of the vehicles it was carrying. But Elko County Fire Protection District spokeswoman Linda Bingaman told InsideEVs that the cause of the blaze was yet to be determined. “The extreme heat generated by the fire has made it very difficult to determine the cause,” she said. “I am not sure what basis Tesla has on saying it was the carrier, so I cannot help you there.”

Tesla jumps in saying the carrier truck is somehow responsible for the fire, highly unlikely, but gave Investigators no evidence to come to that conclusion. This looks like Tesla trying to control the narrative as over 26 Teslas gave combusted in the last year.

How is it Tesla has so many car fires yet it doesnt have to recall its cars? GM at least seems to care about its customers but Tesla continues to put its customers in harms way.
