Tesla Model S battery bursts into flames, car “totally destroyed” in 5 minutes

A Tesla Model S has burst into flames during a test drive in the south west of France. Four people were in the car, including a Tesla employee; they all escaped safely before the car was “totally destroyed” within five minutes of the fire starting.

Tesla confirmed the incident and said that it’s working with French authorities to determine exactly what happened, “and will share our findings as soon as possible.” A Tesla official said: “Nobody was harmed. The vehicle provided warning and passengers were able to safely exit the vehicle.”

In the tweet below you can see a video of the burning Tesla. Presumably this was caught a few minutes after the blaze had begun, as there isn’t much car left.
