The way Teslas burn is especially spooky.

1. The car may be electric... but there's still internal combustion

3. In the passenger compartment?

That fire is coming straight up from the passenger compartment. What's located in the passenger compartment of a Tesla that would cause such an inferno?

Do they use oil soaked rags to pad the seats?

I know absolutely nothing about Teslas, nor do I ever care to.

5. The battery is under the floor of the passenger compartment.

That was likely the source of the fire.

8. Oh wow.

No wonder. I didn't think the batteries would be stored under the passenger compartment, but I guess it makes sense since there's so many of them.

Thanks for the explanation.

2. Are they being hacked?

I have to ask.

4. More than likely it's battery related

I would guess.
