A special probe team comprising members of the Federal Security Agency is currently investigating whether the vehicle’s lithium-ion batteries may have sparked the fire, Polsat News stated. Tesla fires have earlier been reported in the US, Norway, and France.
Tesla (TSLA), meanwhile, claims that its batteries are ten times safer than traditional combustion engines. We have reached out to Tesla for any comments on the incident.
Separately, a Tesla vehicle was found among a pile of metals that caught fire in a junkyard in San Leandro, California, electrek reported on Monday. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
