As you may remember, we reported on a few mysterious Tesla fires earlier this year. In fact, people were confusing the two incidents since they happened around the same time. This story is a follow-up on the Tesla Model Y that caught fire in May 2022, in Vancouver, Canada. The EV's power failed, and the driver broke the window to successfully escape.
Many of the news reports surrounding the Tesla Model Y fire assumed it was another EV battery fire, and the NHTSA requested details about the fire, though investigators hadn't yet confirmed the cause of the flames. Transport Canada opened up a lengthy investigation into the incident, tearing apart the burned-up Model Y electric crossover. According to Drive Tesla Canada, the authorities also invited Tesla and others to help with the investigation.
