A Tesla that had been sitting for months after a wreck “spontaneously” ignited into flames on Wednesday in California as it was being prepared to be dismantled.
The Sacramento Bee reported the Fire started just after 5 p.m. in the city of Rancho Cordova at a high-end scrap yard.
Firefighters were called out to the location of the Fire and discovered a black Tesla Model S lifted on a rack and in flames.
According to the Bee, witnesses said the idle car had “spontaneously caught Fire.”
No injuries were reported, and it is not clear how many gallons of water were used to put the blaze out.
But it did take well over an hour for those on the scene to extinguish the flames.
