It's a Tesla and its suppose to do that, loose a wheel or crash into a fire truck so stop picking on them and show some more love for Musk...

If a Tesla employee had been driving I'd have said: "You're fired!"

Maybe a low budgent Hollywood movie was being made about a bank robbery gone bad when the getaway car goes up in flames and the robbers are forced to take the bus.

The great thing about Teslas is that they're perfect. According to Musk, every problem is human error: Fires, accidents, Model 3 build quality...

Car fires are not uncommon and definitely not a Tesla phenomenon. A Fire Chef has stated during a building floor warden training session that due to the amount of tech in vehicles today, car fires are going to happen. Doesn't matter which manufacturer, doesn't matter what trim level. Any car 2016 or newer is highly susceptible.
