That's not what the news article says. It says the truck caught fire, not the Tesla's spontaneously combusted. But as usual zerohedge links to a legitimate story but conjures up a clickbait headline. It may turn out that this was caused by a spontaneously combusting Tesla, but we don't know that yet. All we know as of now is the truck caught fire.Plantagenet wrote:I'm sorry -- I know its a very serious situation-- but I laughed out loud when I read this TESLA story.

This just happened, so there isn't a lot of information yet. The freeway has been closed and four separate fire crews are apparently trying to put out the truckload of burning Teslas.
The Tesla super-factory is in Nevada, so this truckload of new Teslas may have just left the factory en route to delivery somewhere.......but instead one or perhaps all of them spontaneously combusted.
I can't wait to see what excuse Elon Musk comes up with this time to explain why a whole truckload of Teslas spontaneously combusted.
Cheers!
Truck hauling electric vehicles catches fire on I-80 near CarlinA truck hauling Tesla vehicles caught fire Tuesday night on Interstate 80 near Carlin, forcing the Nevada Highway Patrol to close the freeway to eastbound traffic.
The incident was called in at about 9:10 p.m.
The truck’s cargo of electric vehicles was fully engulfed in flames.
NHP closed the eastbound lane of the freeway just west of Carlin in order to clean up debris. Work continued into the morning.
Eureka Sheriff's Office, Carlin Fire Department and the Elko County Fire Protection District responded, as well as City of Elko and Lee Engine Company.
Further details on the incident were not available from the highway patrol.

In this case Tesla blamed the fire on the brakes on the truck, which supposedly caught fire and burned up 7 Teslas on the back of the truck. Wow! That must have been one heck of a large brake fire, especially when you consider that brake pads are inflammable and so is brake fluid. And even more mysteriously, the truck itself appears mostly OK! Its just all 7 Teslas that were incinerated!!!

Tesla really should take better care of it's delivery trucks. Thats two truck fires in two months!! Tesla is burning up hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory just trying to truck the cars to the buyers.
It's not mysterious. Brakes can overheat all the time. Especially in a large truck like a car hauler. Here's some other car hauler fires from the brakes catching fire. No Tesla's this time, yet cars are still gutted.Plantagenet wrote:I just googled on the truck fire and found.......an older story about a car-carrier truck full of Teslas that burned up in Nevada back in August.

In this case Tesla blamed the fire on the brakes on the trailer, which supposedly caught fire and burned up 7 Teslas on the back of the truck. Wow! That must have been one heck of a large brake fire, especially when you consider that brake pads are inflammable and so is brake fluid. And even more mysteriously, the tires on the trailer seen OK! Somehow the brake fire didn't touch the tires, but instead only burned things up in the trailer. And what was in the truck trailer? There were the charred remains of 7 Teslas, all completely incinerated!!!

Fire chief pinpoints reason car hauler burst into flames traveling down I-75 in WoodhavenWith cars catching fire and some exploding while being transported on a semitruck along southbound I-75 Tuesday, Woodhaven Fire Chief Michael Clark said an investigation has pinpointed the cause. Clark said Wednesday that the brakes on the car hauler overheated, which caused the wheels to overheat. He said the tires caught fire and then the blaze began to spread to the cars. Clark said some of the vehicles had gasoline in the tank, and that is why they exploded. According to Clark, the truck driver made the initial 911 call upon realizing the cars were on fire. The fire chief spoke with the truck driver as the fire departments worked to put out the blaze. “I think he was a little surprised how fast is spread”
Car hauler’s brakes catch fire, leading to chain reaction crashA semi truck hauling cars stopped traffic on Monday morning, after its trailer brakes caught fire. It happened on Route 2 in Lancaster, Massachusetts. According to firefighter Scott LaPrade, the fire started when the semi truck’s brakes overheated, setting one of the hauled cars ablaze. Sentinel & Enterprise reported that several of the hauled cars were damaged as the fire spread. Smoke clouded the sky and traffic was slowed as a result.

That's a point worth considering. I suppose it matters how how much margin such trucks are designed for. And perhaps the expected terrain for the delivery. Typical Indiana terrain is far different than, say, a Rocky Mountain pass.
You'd think such things should be obvious to a trucking company, but with the tendency to maximize profit and minimize employee pay (where the perception is it "won't matter") to get that profit -- perhaps not.
