DETROIT - A Tesla Model S spontaneously burst into flames in Monday while on a test drive in France, according to French media reports.

That's their new "Pinto" model.....

They got out. Nobody was injured. That’s not my idea of bursting into flames.

Not to worry. It was one of the black ones, not a red one

Well, this is France.
So, it could be a special jihadi version of the car -- bursts into flames, so you don't have to torch it

Just imagine if it had a gas engine in it, and it sprung a leak and lit up.

A Li-ion battery pack holds just a fraction of the energy that’s contained in a tank of gasoline.

Attempt to put out a car fire and you’ll see what I mean.

Sounds like the car had “A Hitlery” (short circuit)

Yes, but let’s look at the silver-lining on this.

A garage was saved from a fiery demise.

Yes, but before the modern technology, they would not have been told to exit the car!

I have a friend who is a lieutenant in the Columbus, OH fire department. He said they won’t get near burning hybrid or electric cars without putting on full hazmat suits because of the utterly toxic fumes the batteries emit when they burn. He said, “those fumes will turn your flesh to soap in about five minutes.”

Not good for people in the car if they don’t get out FAST.
