That’s one way to free a parking spot for other
YIKES! So glad that no one was injured. Wondering if this was a recall issue….
Is Tesla now making a van?
Looks like it happened at the massive parking lot at Parkside Village (now called Vaux/Olmstead or something like that to ritz it up as a condo).
Probably an electrical issue that was ignored for a while – pay attention to your warning lights.
….and many thanks to our heroic PW maintenance worker Moses who rescued the gentlemen by pulling him out of the burning vehicle. I happened to be there and heard the driver was unaware his car was burning until Moses and a security guard came by to rescue him. We have a great staff at PW!
