Updated with video from reporters on-site at the bottom of the post! Late Sunday night, four Tesla Cybertrucks caught fire in a Seattle holding lot near 2nd Ave S & S Spokane St, just five minutes from the local Tesla dealership. Initially, reports indicated two burning Cybertrucks, but as the fire spread, the number grew to 4 Cybertrucks. Investigators have offered no details as to whether this was arson or another case of a Tesla Cybertruck bursting into flames spontaneously. See video from the scene in the full article.

I'm shocked they didn't just leap to arson and are considering other things. Teslas are known to randomly catch on fire.

Either possibility is equally funny!

Somebody should have told Elon to model his life after an engorged clitoris. He's spent so much time as an unwashed flaccid foreskin that he has no idea which bad decisions led to this.

Maybe someone in the factory just created a few weak points when installing batteries?

Okay which one of you happened to pass by that lot?

Seems likely to be arson but guess we'll have to wait & see.
