Lanzarote’s Emergency Consortium believes the fire that damaged a Tesla vehicle in San Bartolomé on Sunday may have been started deliberately.
Their opinion is based on the fact that the battery is located underneath the vehicle, but the fire appears to have started on the upper surface of the car.
Several Tesla vehicles have been vandalised in the USA and Europe following company CEO Elon Musk’s recent controversial involvements in US and European politics. This, however, appears to be the first such incident in the Canaries.
The “Sentry Mode” that allows certain Tesla vehicles to film their surroundings when they are approached, is illegal in Spain.
