Tesla on fire: UK director Michael Morris’ car bursts into flames

A Tesla car driven by British TV director Michael Morris burst into flames in Los Angeles, his US actress wife has said.

Mary McCormack tweeted a dramatic video of the incident earlier this week.

No-one was injured. Tesla said it was investigating “an extraordinarily unusual occurrence”.

Tesla says its electric vehicles are less likely to catch fire than fuel-powered cars.
