Tesla Model X, sliding down the boat ramp, started to burn under water!
The incident took place in the Hollywood district of Florida, USA. According to the information conveyed, the owner of the Tesla Model X was trying to launch his jet ski into the water. The person in the driver’s seat managed to do this, but then he started to display warning messages on the vehicle’s dashboard and the driver could not get out of the vehicle. The man’s wife arrived to help him and the female driver was able to exit the vehicle.
According to the report prepared by Hollywood Firefighters, the electric vehicle lost traction as the jet ski was preparing to exit the boat ramp after being launched into the water and then began to slide into the water. The vehicle entered the water and started to catch fire because the salt water caused a short circuit in the electronic equipment.
