Note that some of these Tesla fires are spontaneous, they are not charging at the time.

And my favorite part is that after the fire has been "extinguished", it can reignite again and again.

You might want to get your Tesla out of the garage and park it on the street....just not near my car please.

You know what else causes fires? Fire..maybe we need to abandon fire technology and go back to caveman living. Imagine how many lives we can save if we stop using fire.
