Fire sparked by faulty Tesla charger caused $4m in damage to ex-NFL star’s Nashville home, lawsuit says

A devastating fire sparked by a faulty Tesla charging cable caused more than $4 million worth of damage to former NFL star Randall Cobb’s Nashville, Tennessee mansion, according to a new tranche of court filings reviewed by The Independent.

Cobb, a wide receiver who spent 10 years with the Green Bay Packers before finishing out his career playing for the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and New York Jets, made it safely out of the home during the June 2024 fire, along with his family and their dog Louie, without serious injury. Aiyda Cobb, the 35-year-old’s wife, posted on Instagram at the time that the couple and their three young children were “lucky to be alive.”
