Tesla Model 3 catches fire after debris punctures battery

A Tesla Model 3 electric car which caught fire in New South Wales earlier this week reportedly had its battery pack punctured by debris on the road.

In a video uploaded to Facebook by Penrose Rural Fire Brigade member Daniel Medd, the footage showed fire crews battling the blaze which occurred on the night of Tuesday 15 September, approximately 75 minutes south of the Sydney CBD.

According to Mr Medd, the fire occurred after the 2023 Tesla Model 3 – which appears to be a dual-motor variant – ran over debris from a truck it was travelling behind, puncturing its nickel-cobalt-aluminium battery.

While the driver and their passenger were able to escape unharmed, the Tesla is expected to be written-off as it took the fire crews more than 30 minutes to extinguish the blaze.
