When she came back to pick up the car, he saw that his Model S and the charging pile were on fire. The exact reason was not known.

After the charge reached 97%, the car was parked in the parking space in San Po Kong Square at about 3pm. He also pointed out that the vehicle did not leave until the power was cut off, and it did not use the charging posts of the parking spaces to recharge, and spontaneous combustion occurred unexpectedly. It was accompanied by an explosion and part of the front of the car was burned.

In addition, at midnight US time, a Tesla Model S suddenly ignited in a private garage in San Francisco. The spontaneous combustion Model S was not plugged in at the time of the accident. The San Francisco Fire Department wrote on its official Twitter account that the smoke came from the right rear wheels, while components near the right rear tires included brakes, suspensions, motors and battery packs.

As early as April 21, Tesla recorded the whole process of Tesla spontaneous combustion in an underground garage in Shanghai, when the white Tesla car was parked on the parking space. a lot of smoke suddenly burst out from the bottom of the car, and the smoke spread rapidly within 30 seconds and then burst into flames. Tesla and his surroundings were instantly surrounded by fire, and Tesla's car continued to burn. Eventually, Tesla and a number of cars in the garage were burned.

Although it is rare for Tesla to have a fire at a supercharging station, this is not the first. Back in 2016, a Tesla Model S caught fire and burned while charging at a supercharging station in Norway. At the time, Tesla said the fire was caused by a short circuit, although the company did not know why there was a short circuit. Shortly after these events, Tesla updated the battery management software.
