My understanding is that the car hit something.
The picture from the back side seems to show damage on the rear right side.

I don't think the math works like this. Remind me not to go to a casino with you.Well, after the first fire Elon noted you're still 1/5th as likely to have a fire in a Tesla based on miles driven. 2 accidents later we're at 3/5ths
When something bad happens to an average ___, nobody cares.Did you all hear about the ICE car fire in IL over the past week or so? You haven't heard of any of the tens that have occurred? There was no mention in any news articles at all of a local car fire that happened along US 50 just a couple of weeks ago. Why wasn't there speculation that the car manufacturer was going out of business as a result?
We don't hear about ICE car fires in the news anymore because - well - we've just learned to live with them.
When something bad happens to an average ___, nobody cares.
When something bad happens to an extraordinary ___, it's news.
I'm glad to be driving a vehicle that is so extraordinary that everything about it is news.

See that damage behind the tire? Had to be a collision.
If there was no accident why would the the owner say that the car saved his life?
Good point.Just make sure to drive it in such a way as to not make that news...
I agree it could be damage, but it could just as easily be a shadow/reflection. I'm leaning towards shadow/reflection.
on the plus side, now maybe people will stop parking next to me!
The Concorde is not an airline, it is a type of supersonic airplane. Only British Airways and Air France operated them and then only a handful of them. Also those required an IMMENSE amount of maintenance (compared to other commercial jets) to maintain its safety record, not to mention it didn't fly that often (not 8 flights a day like the Boeing 737 for example). That's just part of the reason why they didn't make it in the larger airline world.
I am not too concerned about the Model S as even this last fire looks to be a pretty serious accident, lots of debris right next to it. I would be concerned if there were a spontaneous fire, just one sitting in a garage or parked. Haven't seen one yet. Let's see what Tesla's investigation reveals. Tesla's reputation "may" get slightly damaged depending on how they handle these first few incidents.
Judging by the lack of intensity of the fire, and that there's no fire damage behind the front axle, this fire doesn't seem to involve the battery pack. That's good at least.
My bet is on a collision followed by a fire in the 12V system.
There was a fatal BMW crash and fire yesterday.

What does that have to do with this incident?
