Tesla didn’t have much to say about one of its cars catching fire in California on Saturday, but the car’s owner managed to work up a few words.
“I’m just so lucky to be alive,” Bishal Malla of the Sacramento suburb of Elk Grove told KCRA-TV in Sacramento.
Malla told the outlet that he was finishing up some errands and was about to return home to pick up his family for a party when the car started shaking.
Thinking he had a flat tire, Malla pulled over on Highway 99 and got out of the car. That’s when he realized what the problem actually was.
“The moment that I opened the door, I saw smoke coming from the bottom,” he said.
Ever notice how this only happens to Teslas and not other electric cars? Why does that always seem to get buried?
2030s my arse.
