LOL! Tesla don’t have diesel engines!

Can’t say for sure what happened, but if one of the cars started it, then it’s just one more example in a list of reasons why I don’t want an EV.

I'd be much more worried about a Tesla, or any EV for that matter, catching fire overnight in my garage while I'm sound asleep.
