Tesla Cybertruck has attracted a lot of attention since its launch, and the company has received nearly 2 million orders before it even started deliveries. Their vehicles have often been the subject of criticism especially when it comes to safety issues. However, a few days ago at the company’s storage in Seattle, four brand new Cybertrucks caught fire.
On March 9, around 11:00 p.m., firefighters received a call about a fire at a Tesla warehouse and shortly after arrival, the fire was brought under control. Fortunately, apart from the four Cybertrucks, there was no further damage.
Tesla has had problems with battery-related fires in the past, which is considered the reason in this case as well. Police have launched an investigation, but it is not yet known what caused the fire.
Some rumors suggest that someone started the fire, as dissatisfaction grows with Musk’s role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is pushing for a large number of federal layoffs and budget cuts.
In the last month, there have been several attacks on Tesla showrooms, charging stations and even private vehicles. A shooting occurred at a Tesla dealership in Tigard, Oregon, and one person was arrested in Salem for a similar attack.
Tesla has not yet commented on the incident.
