Tesla Model S battery bursts into flames, car “totally destroyed” in 5 minutes
A few months ago someone was test-driving a BMW when it burst into flames a block away from my home.  The driver narrowly escaped unharmed; unlike this Tesla incident, there was no warning provided by the vehicle.<p>But I&#x27;m pretty sure none of you have read news articles about the BMW which burst into flames in Burnaby a few months ago, because non-electric cars bursting into flames is just something which happens.  As long as Tesla incidents like this are news stories, I&#x27;d say they&#x27;re doing pretty well.
