Her husband had no clue their Tesla he was driving was on fire.

My friends Honda Accord also spontaneously caught on fire, not sure why Tesla gets singled out on every mishap.

New Kid on the block? Fanboys? An owner that sends rockets into space? An owner with a self worth of over $22 Billion?

New technology that behaves much differently than old familiar technology. Lithium Ion batteries that are damaged generate heat. This heat can increase to the level where it causes fires long after the damage occurs. Unlike gasoline engines without the new tech, lithium ion batteries can ignite in a garage well after the incident. This creates a sense of the unknown that is always scary. And it can take as long as 24 hours for the battery fire to burn itself out.
