That fire is coming straight up from the passenger compartment. What's located in the passenger compartment of a Tesla that would cause such an inferno?
Do they use oil soaked rags to pad the seats? 
I know absolutely nothing about Teslas, nor do I ever care to.
No wonder. I didn't think the batteries would be stored under the passenger compartment, but I guess it makes sense since there's so many of them.
Thanks for the explanation. 
I have to ask.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
