Tesla Bursts Into Flames In West Hollywood Traffic

Tesla is investigating how one of its cars appeared to suddenly catch fire on a busy street near Los Angeles. Cellphone video shows flames shooting out of the electric vehicle last week. Local authorities said it could have been a faulty battery, but Tesla says it’s still too early to know exactly what happened. A Model S quickly caught fire Friday afternoon in West Hollywood, California. Actress Mary McCormack tweeted cell phone video of the fire, saying, "Tesla this is what happened to my husband and his car today …. no accident, out of the blue, in traffic…."
