Burnt Model 3

[Kilotango74]

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

No kidding.....this one will go under the radar.

hope it wasn’t a bad Tesla EVSE install.

Certainly seems in the realm of possibilities. I guess someone who knows where to look should keep an eye on the investigation results.

Or maybe someone didn't want to put Tesla in a headline before the investigation is finished and they know whether the Tesla had anything to do with it before spinning up the media who always love sensational stories, even if they have to make them up.

There's a rash of Tesla fires!

Tesla Vehicle Bursts Into Flames, Burns For Hours In Monroeville

Or, rather, there's a rash of people reporting on fires involving a Tesla, because, Tesla.

Meanwhile over 400 ICE caught on fire yesterday and 400 more will today and none make headlines.

Scary stuff.

 

[vjason]

That'll buff out.

So when will we find out if it was the battery that shorted and caused the fire?

 

[ricohman]

The house looks abandoned so, possible insurance claim?

What makes you think the home was abandoned?
The boarded up windows occurred after the fire.

This would be a good one if Tesla had the Sentry video. What ever happened to the burnt Model X on the frozen lake this winter?

Thread is updated on the model X.

If my Youtube ad feed is to be believed, F-11 will make it look like new.

I suspect any USB located in the cabin would not be readable.

 

[TurboFroggy]

I hate to think this, however, it would not surprise me if this was an electrical fire because someone DIY a bad 14-50 install or used a 14-50 to 10-30 adapter and kept charging at 32 amps or something dumb like that.

 

[quikshifter]

Yeah I would love to hear some updates.

 

[tecnocato]

The Sheriff office labeled it as a crime scene. Does someone knows the case number?

Man. Can we stop with this stupid thinking? GMC just came out with a recall of one of their pickups due to fire risk from the winter battery heater option. It was all over the news.

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.

JOHNWANE, you joined the same day you posted this and then disappeared. Where are you, John? You know the whole story if you really are from King County. The car appears to be smashed with something heavy on the back and also has CRIME SCENE tape.

I think this is the same car: 2018 TESLA MODEL 3, 25056196 | IAA-Insurance Auto Auctions

That's where the firemen pulled out the car from the garage. They hooked up an anchor to the trunk.
