TECHi's Take
Tesla‘s better-than-perfect safety rating was called into question based on a technicality. But a Model S owner in Seattle might have a bit more reason to question Tesla’s safety record.
The car owner saw his high-performance electric vehicle catch fire on Tuesday.
Kyle Ohashi, a captain with the Kent Fire Department that responded to the fire, said an unidentified metal object hit the bottom of the vehicle. “The car gave the driver a warning to stop and pull over,” he told ABC News. “He got out and smoke started coming out of the car, followed by the fire.”
