Consumer Description

ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE THAT I JUST READ ON YAHOO FINANCE, THE TELEGRAPH HAS REPORTED TODAY THAT BRITISH TV DIRECTOR'S TESLA BURSTS INTO FLAMES SITTING IN TRAFFIC. ACTOR MARY MCCORMACK HAS SHARED VIDEO OF HER BRITISH HUSBAND'S TESLA CAR SHOOTING FLAMES WHILE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TRAFFIC. HE HAD BEEN DRIVING ALONG A MAJOR ROUTE THROUGH LOS ANGELES, WHEN THE FIRE WAS FIRST SPOTTED BY OTHER ROAD USERS.SHE SAID THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, AND THE INCIDENT WAS OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND AND HIS CAR TODAY. NO ACCIDENT, OUT OF THE BLUE, IN TRAFFIC ON SANTA MONICA BLVD. SHE ALSO SAID, THANK YOU TO THE KIND COUPLE WHO FLAGGED HIM DOWN AND TOLD HIM TO PULL OVER. AND THANK GOD MY THREE GIRLS WEREN'T IN THE CAR WITH HIM. SHERIFF'S LT. WILLIAN NASH IN WEST HOLLYWOOD SAID ON SATURDAY THAT DEPUTIES SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND THEN FIRE. DEPUTIES REQUESTED HELP FROM FIREFIGHTERS WHO QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES.
