I noticed from the article that the car was said to not even be charging at the time, and I couldn't help but notice that the car wasn't even backed into the spot to charge besides their wasn't even a charger near it. Weird. Who knows if it even had anything to do with the car itself.

Aw, man. I'm gonna get a call from my Mom.

Ha! I had the same thought!

The car in flames is not the same car with the blown out door. Fake news.

You know what...you might be right. I forgot the world we live in now where we have to
Fact check everything! This would explain why it's not more mainstream.

The car in flames is not the same car with the blown out door. Fake news.

Let's be fair, now. They said it was a different car. The article states:

This past August, for example, a driver taking a Model S 90D for a test drive heard a loud noise before noticing a message on the dashboard which read, “Problems with charging.”

Shortly thereafter, the driver pulled over whereupon the car reportedly burst into flames just one minute later. All of the passengers managed to escape unscathed and firefighters quickly arrived on the scene and put the fire out. A sensational photo of the burning Tesla can be seen below.

I stand corrected. But did he really have to toss in "A sensational photo of the burning Tesla…" from last summer? Not exactly quality news.

Is it possible Obama blows up Teslas when he isn't listening to Melania's phone calls?
