Burnt Model 3

[johnwane]

Here's the charred remains of a Model 3 from someone in my neighborhood. At least I think it's a Model 3 judging from the rim styling and the trunk opening. Don't know what happened other than that the fire starting in the middle of the night and that there were no injuries. Daytime photos were taken from social media, nighttime photos by me.

I would like to know how this happened. What city is this?

 

[Kilotango74]

OP location says Seattle and he said its in the neighborhood so probably there.....I am curious too as I am from that area.

The house looks abandoned so, possible insurance claim?

The house looks MUCH better than the car....makes me think the fire started in the garage. Hmmmmm.

I'm guessing a garage fire that spread to the cars. Note that the car to the right has the most damage to the front, nearest the garage. The back tires didn't even blow. Also, both garage doors were removed, not just the one nearest the Model 3.

You could be right, the paint on the Mini van is only bad on the front as well.

The model 3 had the most damage by far. Another way of looking at it is the Model 3 caught on fire in the garage and owner managed to back it out onto driveway where it continued to burn. It’s parked at a bit of an angle on the driveway... frantic reverse summon? :|

Flaming Summon!!! Not the option I would want.

So the Model 3 was inside the garage, hope it wasn’t a bad Tesla EVSE install.

Great find, but now not sure it wasn't the Model 3 that originally caught fire as it was clearly in the garage when the fire started....

Yep, I agree.

So the metal that is on the left lawn is the burnt garage door.

Someone is going to be fired for passing on the opportunity to put 'Tesla' and 'Fire' into a headline...
