There have been a few Tesla electric car fires in the news recently, and some media outlets and individuals seem to be getting confused about which is which. To be clear, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now requesting information about the Model Y fire in Canada that happened while the car was in motion.
Another recent Tesla fire, which we also covered, happened in the States. It involved a Model 3 that was parked in California City. The Model 3 wasn't running or charging. We'll have to wait and see what comes of this related fire. NHTSA told Reuters it "is aware of the incident and has reached out to the manufacturer for information."
