Tesla investigates video of Model S car exploding
Tesla has sent a team to investigate a video on Chinese social media which showed a parked Tesla Model S car exploding, the latest in a string of fire incidents involving the company's cars. The video, time stamped Sunday evening and widely shared on China's Twitter-like Weibo, shows the parked EV emit smoke and burst into flames seconds later. A video purportedly of the aftermath showed a line of three cars completely destroyed. The video comes as Tesla is preparing to unveil its "full self-driving" tech at a conference in Palo Alto, California, on Monday. The video is likely to overshadow the company's unveiling of its latest autonomous driving software and hardware.
