Updated with video from reporters on-site at the bottom of the post! Late Sunday night, four Tesla Cybertrucks caught fire in a Seattle holding lot near 2nd Ave S & S Spokane St, just five minutes from the local Tesla dealership. Initially, reports indicated two burning Cybertrucks, but as the fire spread, the number grew to 4 Cybertrucks. Investigators have offered no details as to whether this was arson or another case of a Tesla Cybertruck bursting into flames spontaneously. See video from the scene in the full article.
Far more likely that they set on fire because they are poorly designed an Musky boy is dismantling any and all safety regulations for his death traps.
Man I hate Tesla more than most but it is far far less likely to just have spontaneous battery fires, especially on an older brand like Tesla. I know we all love to hate on them (cyber truck in particular), but seriously spontaneous battery fires are insanely uncommon.
There are about 35,000 or so Cybertrucks that exist.
The last one that spontaneously burst into flames on a dealer lot was about 60 days ago.

I wouldn’t call that insanely uncommon, I don’t think. There might be something about this model that makes it more prone to fires than your average Tesla.
Spontaneous battery fires are insanely uncommon when you’re using well made, well tested, reliable battery technology with good safety protections. Tesla is batting 0 for 4 there. Miss any of those four and your chances of fire increase exponentially. Miss ALL four and it’s basically guaranteed.
