Why is the Tesla response always to point fingers at others or the driver? Drives me nuts. Driver gets in AP crash and tesla regurgitates safety numbers and then puts the driver on blast. Stop doing that!From Twitter
Spontaneous, non-traumatic cause would be bad. Hope Tesla responds quickly.
What does this have to do with this case? AFAIK Tesla has said they are concerned and are investigating.Why is the Tesla response always to point fingers at others or the driver? Drives me nuts.

Perhaps he had an early version of the SpaceX option package.
Yes... Investigating the incident and insists that their cars are less likely to catch fire than ice vehicles. Im sure that will make the S owners in this case feel so much better.What does this have to do with this case? AFAIK Tesla has said they are concerned and are investigating.
Earlier this year a 9000 gallon gasoline transport tanker exploded when the truck brakes over heated and melted the roadway.

Local news only and no oil company stocks were affected.
A similar tanker exploded 2 weeks ago on I75 close to my daughters workplace and they thought a bomb had gone off nearby. Never made the national news.
Yeah, the fire is going back and to the left. Back and to the left.Why does the fire out the left side of the car look like it's shooting sideways under pressure, almost similar to an ICE car where the fuel rails have been damaged in an accident and keep delivering gas with the ignition on. Is it the coolant?
The model 3 pack has fire vents to release the pressure during a battery fire. Maybe the S has them near this location. Just a theory.Why does the fire out the left side of the car look like it's shooting sideways under pressure, almost similar to an ICE car where the fuel rails have been damaged in an accident and keep delivering gas with the ignition on.

'A Tesla spokesperson told DailyMail.com that the company is investigating the incident, and insists that the company's cars are far less likely to catch fire than gas vehicles.'Where are you getting that from? I don't see any official statement from Tesla on this incident aside from "We offer our support to local authorities and are investigating the incident. We’re glad our customer is safe" or "Tesla called the incident an "extraordinary unusual occurrence." The company is investigating."
Now the Electrek.co article does reiterate the "less likely" stuff, but I'm not aware of Tesla saying that.
The longest response I've seen from Tesla says "This is an extraordinarily unusual occurrence, and we are investigating the incident to find out what happened," a Tesla spokesperson told ET in a statement on Sunday. "Our initial investigation shows that the cabin of the vehicle was totally unaffected by the fire due to our battery architecture, which is designed to protect the cabin in the very rare event that a battery fire occurs. While our customer had time to safely exit the car, we are working to understand the cause of the fire. We’re glad our customer is safe."

I'm sure you can cite a source of Tesla responding in the way you say they did to this incident as you wouldn't simply make that up. Obviously you know that's a Trump move, and wouldn't pull it yourself.
As soon as I see that citation then I'll be on your side as I would find that response troubling.
