That fire is coming straight up from the passenger compartment. What's located in the passenger compartment of a Tesla that would cause such an inferno?

Do they use oil soaked rags to pad the seats?

I know absolutely nothing about Teslas, nor do I ever care to.

That was likely the source of the fire.

No wonder. I didn't think the batteries would be stored under the passenger compartment, but I guess it makes sense since there's so many of them.

Thanks for the explanation.
