Tesla catches on fire, all electronics shutdown,(can't open door electronically by push button )trapping driver inside, driver didn't know there is a manual door release, so he kicks out window to escape, just before car bursts into flames, lol, I know its not funny but he should have read owner's manual thoroughly.

IIRC there was a similar incident, a while ago a corvette owner was trapped inside car in the hot sun and died, all he had to do was engage the manual door release.



 
If the car battery ignites then most Fire Departments do not have the necessary equipment to extinguish the battery fire and have to just keep the area cool with water until the fire burns itself out.
 
A tesla caught fire. More people burn themselves smoking dope, this is a non-story.
