Tesla Model S Goes Boom in Shanghai Parking Lot
What the Video Shows
A clip that popped up on social media captures a Tesla Model S parked in a Shanghai car park, suddenly catching fire. The timestamp marks the event as a Sunday evening. Nearby vehicles are visibly scorched, hinting that the blaze spread at least a few feet.
Tesla’s Immediate Response
- Fast‑traveling a team was dispatched to the scene.
- The company is coordinating with local police and firefighters to get the facts straight.
- Early reports indicate that nobody was hurt.
Why This Matters
China accounts for roughly 20 % of Tesla’s global revenue, so any incident there is watched closely. Since 2014, there have been 14 reported fires involving Tesla vehicles, prompting the installation of a triple under‑body shield on 2014 Model S cars to reduce fire risk.
Humor Amid the Heat
Imagine winding up for a relaxed night in your sleek, electric car—then suddenly boom! The Model S turns into a backyard fireworks display. It’s the sort of surprise that would draw a chuckle, except when your only excuse is a hot parking garage.
