A Tesla burst into flames on a Pennsylvania highway late Tuesday morning, burning so hot as to only be recognizable by its rims, firefighters said.
Multiple fire departments were dispatched to a vehicle fire at Mile Marker 137 on Interstate 80 Westbound in Cooper Township just before 11 a.m. Tuesday.
The daughter of the couple driving the car told WTAJ they were driving their Tesla Model S when a "large piece of debris" went underneath the car, causing it to begin to smoke. The couple, identified as "Michelle and Bob," pulled over and got out of their car. Neither were injured.

A Musk husk?
They only burn at about 6,000 degrees F, so no biggie, bring weenies.
Electric vehicles are a waste of time. If they were practical, we would have been driving them in the last century.
That’s quite a husk. I don’t see any popcorn on the roadway.
Waiting for one to catch fire on a crowded ferry.
Impeccable logic. I bet flying is a waste of time too, or we would have been doing it for the last millennia.
Amirite?!?
Just don’t park in your garage.
Who cares. Fake news. Musk is a genius. Go Elon Go.

I have a lite hybrid car (Volvo XC60) and even I am nervous about the electrical system. My wife loves Volvos and I wanted a Chevy Silverado (gasoline). Guess who won??
Makes it easier for the tow truck driver...............
My wife has an ebike with a Bosch battery in the garage. Even that thing makes me worried.
If God had meant for man to fly he would have given us First Class tickets!....................
“Electric vehicles are a waste of time. If they were practical, we would have been driving them in the last century.”
nice.
I wonder if they get it?
Burned out gas car intentionally started on fire.
Burned out Tesla unintentionally caught fire.
“large piece of debris” went underneath the car, causing it to begin to smoke.”
When an EV is in an accident, if the battery gets hit (side impacts are the big problem) it’s totaled. Battery is history even if it doesn’t blow up.
Beware of someone/some entity that trys to sell you something, which must act on it in a hurry. “Climate crisis”, they say, yet they fly in private jets and live in mansions.
“Only a decade until we are under water”.
I am not against electric cars or phasing out coal, but why the rush? The rush is so profits can be made short term, without realistically analyzing and addressing the “alleged problem”.
That’ll buff right out.
