Newest electric cars recalled after owners report they spontaneously combust when parked in direct sunlight. My neighbor’s brand-new Tesla caught fire in her own driveway last Tuesday. No warning lights, no crash, just a 70-degree day. I’m no engineer, but if your “futuristic” vehicle can’t handle basic sunlight without turning into a bonfire, maybe we should stick to common-sense gas engines. How is this progress? The fire department had to douse it for two hours while the whole street smelled like toxic chemicals. Let’s stop pretending these things are safe.
