— NRK (@NRKno) January 1, 2016This empty shell is all that remains of a 2014 Tesla Model S after it burnt to the ground while being charged in Norway. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, but is being investigated.
The incident happened when the owner of the Model S plugged it in and left it for charging. On returning a short time later, the car was engulfed in flames. Firefighters had to use a special foam to combat the flames and to make the lithium batteries safe.
Luckily, nobody was injured.

Also known as a class C fire.
I’m fun at parties.
A fisker karma caught on fire once before due to a cooling fan for the gas engine acting up. I’m kinda glad I don’t own a karma. But at the same time, I would like to own one.
This kinda reminds me of my Samsung S2 with a swollen battery due to a faulty charger.
But on the bright side, they have a perfect excuse to buy a Hellcat.
Wrong, the owner had lent the car to a mate of his when the car caught fire, the owner had it for 2 days, after he bought it for him self as a new years gift after a good year at work. It is now beeing investigated by tesla US. This all happened in Norway. And what about some creed Alex, sins I was first to post about this incident?
Just went through the comments like; upvote, upvote and upvote for you too and upvote.
They can put it on Craiglist now like “Brand New Tesla, mint condition, just used the heater once, as fast as a Fireball”
Please don’t start a thing. There is always a slim chance of this happening to every single battery (of that type, lithium-ion batteries). There is usually a human error involved, such as overcharging and leaving it to charge for an entire week.
“Hover” board batteries…
Bet the owner wasn’t AMPED up after
