This Tesla Model S Burnt To The Ground While Charging

While this Tesla Model S was being charged, something went badly wrong, causing the car to burn to the ground. Firefighters had to use special foam to put the flames out...

This 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.

And now millions of people will boycott tesla/electric cars altogether over one example that is bound to only happen to a few cars. Its like car crashes vs plane crashes.

Maybe Elon Musk needs to understand that building a daily car is not like building a rocket that is used like 1 time in 5 years.

That’s why hybrids aren’t cool at all, even if they’re treehuggers, the Tesla is not even worthy to save the environment, not like the Prius (who is also uncool but a notch higher than the Tesla).
