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.
Are your cars shit or do people really fucking hate you?.. Or both. Imma go with both.
Sounds like you’ve (Musk) got big problems if you’re not sure which is the right answer.
Okay which one of you happened to pass by that lot?
Definitely for sure a spontaneous battery fire. Couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to commit arson on some low-poly neofash shitboxes. No sir.
And if anyone saw any evidence to the contrary… No we didn’t.
But wait…what if…and hear me out here…what if they caught fire as a result of people rebelling against a facist takeover of our government?
What if…
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.
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.
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.
America? Becoming fascist? That seems super, super impossible. Our current president, who dresses like an orange, and is a convicted felon and sexual molester, would never allow something so heinous. He works so hard for us. Did you see the great job he did raising the price of eggs? If that’s not love, I don’t know what is.
Teslas are going to be expensive to insure.
This cracked me up so hard. The videographer knew what the were doing.
I wish billboards were illegal. 1, they are distracting while driving and 2, this is a load of crap. There is not any evidence that god exists.
They’re illegal in Maine. I never saw one outside of television until i was fully an adult.
T.I.L.
Seriously. Billboards going away would restore so much beauty to the world.
Pffft, you got a link to that video? That HAD to be intentional.
I didn’t realize it’s Komo, they’re owned by Sinclair. For those of you who don’t know, they’re super Christian Nationalist. https://komonews.com/news/local/four-tesla-cybertrucks-destroyed-in-fire-in-seattles-sodo-neighborhood-elon-musk-doge-federal-jobs-cut-protests-seattle-fire-department-investigation
That makes the framing of this thumbnail even more legendary.
Devil child, devil child!
Either possibility is equally funny!
arson shmarson
Batteries overheating or arson?
Option 3: Justice
Option 5: insurance scam
Oh, see, that is devious. Burn your inventory then try and blame “the libs”.
those dastardly liberals, always caring about others.
I love that the truck is so shitty we don’t know if ppl blowing them up or they blowing themselves up.
Designed so bad they commit seppuku.
I’m shocked they didn’t just leap to arson and are considering other things. Teslas are known to randomly catch on fire.
Don’t name your car a Tesla and then be surprised when the battery arcs
Maybe someone in the factory just created a few weak points when installing batteries?
Looking at the videos and reports, first the dumpsters I mean trucks were not actually that close to the fence where they could be reached through it or have something thrown through it to reach them. The fence is heavy duty dense chain link and wasn’t tampered with. A witness who saw the fire start said no one was nearby, first it started sparking then burst into flames. So unless someone did it via software or some other clever way, I’m assuming this was a spontaneous battery combustion that spread to nearby vehicles.
if they could do it via software, why did only 4 go up?
Well you aren’t supposed to let them get wet.
that’s not true! you can moisten them with undiluted alcohol. you’re actually supposed to when you get a fingerprint or something on them to prevent rust. maybe don’t lie to make cybertrucks look worse. meanie.
Or charge them after midnight
Somebody should have told Elon to model his life after an engorged clitoris. He’s spent so much time as an unwashed flaccid foreskin that he has no idea which bad decisions led to this.
