Unsafe Tesla lithium fire bomb goes off with a whoosh of flames.

Firefighter battling Tesla Model S blaze: ‘We’re gonna be here all night’

Driver says he’ll never buy another Tesla

It started with a dashboard warning and ended with a burst of flames that ultimately destroyed one Bay Area man’s new Tesla Model S.

The driver, who didn’t give his name, told ABC7 News he was driving on the highway when the sensor alerted him to a rapid drop in tire pressure. He pulled over and had his vehicle, which he’d bought three months prior, towed to the shop.

Just minutes after arriving for the fix, the front end of the car reportedly caught fire, as you can see from this video footage:

#NEW Brad Basford shared this video with @abc7newsbayarea. This was the scene along University Ave in Los Gatos, showing the Tesla on fire. This happened earlier this afternoon.

NEW Tesla owner shares this incredible video of his car catching fire. The Saratoga resident says he got the car 3-months ago, it only had 1200-miles. Follow this thread for details on how the situation developed.

Crews on the scene waited six hours for the battery to cool, but even then, after transporting it 10 minutes away, the car reignited late Tuesday night.

Firefighters said they would remain on the scene all night as a precaution.

Here’s footage from later in the evening

As for the owner, he told ABC7 News his family would never own another Tesla.

“If this had been in the house, and we were on vacation, and this thing caught fire in the garage, the whole house could go under,” he said.

Tesla TSLA, -0.14% released this statement in response to the incident: “We are currently investigating the matter and are in touch with local first responders. We are glad to hear that everyone is safe.”

Tesla car fires are nothing new, and this isn’t the first time a Tesla battery has reignited. Earlier this year, for instance, the battery pack of a Model X involved in a fatal accident burst into flames days after catching on fire in the crash.

At the time of that incident, Tesla said its batteries “are designed so that in the rare circumstance a fire occurs, it spreads slowly so that occupants have plenty of time to get out of the car.” The company also said the fire rate of their vehicles is much lower than comparable gas-powered vehicles.

Tesla shares closed Wednesday’s session down 1.2% at $332.98

Yet another Tesla Lithium Fire Bomb goes up in smoke. If you are ever foolish enough to get into a Tesla Lithium Fire Bomb then DO NOT FORGET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!!!!

A Tesla Model S reportedly burst into flames twice after getting a flat tire
MARK MATOUSEK DEC 20, 2018, 2:45 AM

The owner of the Model S told a local news outlet that he bought it three months before the incident and had driven it 1,200 miles.
A Tesla Model S caught fire on Tuesday in Los Gatos, California, after getting a flat tire, multiple outlets reported.
Minutes after the Model S was towed to an auto-repair shop, the front end reportedly caught fire.
The vehicle reportedly reignited in the evening.
“We are currently investigating the matter and are in touch with local first responders. We are glad to hear that everyone is safe,” a Tesla representative told Business Insider.

A Tesla Model S caught fire on Tuesday in Los Gatos, California, after getting a flat tire, multiple outlets reported.

The owner was driving on the highway when the vehicle alerted him that one of its tires had experienced a rapid drop in tire pressure, ABC7 News reported. Minutes after the Model S was towed to an auto-repair shop, the front end reportedly caught fire. The vehicle reignited in the evening, the report said.

“We are currently investigating the matter and are in touch with local first responders. We are glad to hear that everyone is safe,” a Tesla representative told Business Insider.

The representative said Tesla vehicles catch fire less often than the average car, citing data from a US government agency and a global nonprofit. The representative added that when a Tesla does catch fire, the fire spreads slower than in a gas-powered car, giving occupants more time to exit the vehicle.

The Santa Clara County Fire Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Model S owner told ABC7 News that he bought it three months before the incident and had driven it 1,200 miles, adding that he and his family would not own another Tesla vehicle.

“If this had been in the house, and we were on vacation, and this thing caught fire in the garage, the whole house could go under,” he said.

This was the scene along University Ave in Los Gatos, showing the Tesla on fire. This happened earlier this afternoon.
The Saratoga resident says he got the car 3-months ago, it only had 1200-miles.

In June, a Model S suddenly caught fire in Los Angeles. The fire drew attention after the actress Mary McCormack – whose husband, the British director Michael Morris, was driving the vehicle – shared a video of it on Twitter. In the video, fire can be seen beneath the vehicle’s front left tire.

VIDEO: Up she goes

In a preliminary report on its investigation into that incident, the National Transportation Safety Board said it didn’t cause any injuries. The agency did not offer any explanations for why the vehicle may have caught fire.

But look what caught on fire in the Chadstone car park last week !! Don't see any Lithium batteries in that one !

Quote:

Commander Illman said the owner of the car had reported noticing smoke coming from the vehicle when they turned off the engine.

"They got out of the car quickly, and before they knew it, it was in flames," he said.

In a statement, Victoria Police said the fire was believed to have been caused by a vehicle fault.

Part of the shopping centre was also evacuated because of smoke, police said.

I don't know how a tow truck could damage battery it's under the floor in a rigid case.

Keep making excuses for these firebombs.

Lithium-ion battery storage may be banned inside Australian homes

Lithium-ion battery storage devices – including Tesla Powerwalls and other products – may be effectively banned from being installed inside homes and garages in Australia under new guidelines being drafted by Standards Australia.

It is believed Standard Australia will advise lithium-ion battery storage should only be installed in free-standing “kiosks” – or effectively a “bunker” as one source described it – which would likely add thousands of dollars to the cost of installation.

It also raises questions about whether people with electric vehicles, powered by lithium-ion storage, would also be banned from households garages.

Standards Australia is believed to have taken a conservative view of lithium-ion based on recommendations from fire authorities,

A car is usually the second most expensive purchase anyone will make after a house.

A sensible person would do some research and read reviews before spending a large amount of money on a car.

Once upon a time i thought the Tesla was a good thing, after doing some research i wouldn't buy one even if i was filthy rich.
I think the Tesla is an expensive shitbox.

As opposed to all of the other inherently unreliable fossil fool shitboxes which will catastrophically fail if you don't spend money on them to maintain them ??

Good point I guess we will have to wait and see what happens instead of just guessing Wink

Ohh and for lithium home power, no lithium power packs have ever caught on fire and the standards was released last year and hasn’t banned them...... Wink
