Two Tesla Model S electric cars caught fire at Tesla’s Shanghai Jinqiao super charging station. Nobody got hurt but the cars were heavily damaged. The accident happened four days ago in the afternoon of March 4. What caused the fire is yet unknown.
The fire started in a P85, seen here on the left side. This car was not near or connected to a super charger. The fire then engulfed another Model S, on the right, which was parked next to a super charger, although it is unclear whether it was charging. Note the fire extinguishers in the foreground, at least 10 of them. The charging station was apparently not equipped with any heavier fire fighting equipment.

A very happy Tesla Model S, Spotted in China on the southern section of the Second Ring Road in Beijing. The good Tes’ was wrapped in an eye killing shiny Pink wrap and further sexed up with darkened rear lights, a very dark rear window, darkened side windows, and matte black alloys. The wrap nearly covered the bumpers, mirrors, and door handles; the holy trinity of a proper wrap.
