Another Tesla Model S ‘Inexplicably’ Bursts Into Flames
According to Twitter account @_subia, her husband was driving a 2015 Tesla Model S when it “inexplicably” burst into flames in late November while driving down a neighborhood street in Frisco, Texas.
On Nov. 23, @_subia tweeted, “my husband @usmaan008 heard bangs while driving his beloved @Tesla & pulled over moments before it burst into flames. I was told we were lucky he got out when he did.”
By Dec. 2, @_subia was hoping for an explanation of why her husband’s Tesla “suddenly caught fire.”
On Dec. 12, @_subia now assumes “the tesla car battery exploded,” adding that her “husband almost took our kids with him. What if kids were buckled in car seats? He hasn’t been able to shake that thought. Or me being in that front passenger seat.”
Weeks later, after the Model S “inexplicably burst into flames” – Tesla has yet to investigate the incident.
“Tesla still hasn’t had a chance to investigate but I now fear for all our family & friends who drive Teslas. We just want answers.”
Tesla vehicles randomly exploding is not a new phenomenon. We reported in 2019 that a Tesla Model S “spontaneously” caught on fire in a Chinese parking garage.
By late 2019, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into a possible defect in the battery of some Teslas that could cause “non-crash fires.”

One rare Earth element used to reduce the Lithium ion battery flammability is Cobalt. The battery is part of the floor pan structure and replacement is over $20K. Wear a Nomax fireproof suit and be ready for a rapid Tesla Flambe exit at any moment. Oh, and don’t park in a garage full of valuables, or attached to a home you like.

Vehicle ‘spontaneity’ is not a preferred option when driving.

There was a very narrow focused Corona Mass Ejection which just happened to catch the tesla. A Teslington Event.

I wonder: Would the Nicola Tesla’s family sue for inflammatory news slandering their name?

All I can say is I’m glad I didn’t buy a Tesla. My beautiful coal powered Hyundai is going fine thanks. And I never have to fill up at a petrol bowser ever again. I’, happy to take the risk.

I wonder how BMW compare to Tesla.

If I had the money, I would go out tomorrow and buy the most expensive Tesla I could get my hands on.
No road tax. Government subsidised price. Government subsidised fuel costs. And it is such a gorgeous piece of kit.
Even Clarkson loves them
I want a Model Y 🙂
