Tesla Showroom in Southern UK Damaged By Accidental Fire (bbc.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on Saturday March 2, 2019 @12:34PM from the putting-out-fires dept.

AppleHoshi writes: The BBC is reporting that an accidental fire at Tesla's Gatwick Service Centre in the U.K. has damaged "at least half" of the facility. Initial reports are that the fire did not begin in the service area itself, but started in a parts storage area and spread from there. The fire was extinguished within three hours and no staff or customers were injured.
The fire "was not caused by Tesla cars, chargers or batteries," according to the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.

Even worse, why is it here? Even things that *are* international news do not necessarily belong here.

Because the fire was started by one of their shit cars.
From the fucking summary: "was not caused by Tesla cars, chargers or batteries,". Seriously, the summary is 83 words, you can't read that much before you start spouting off your uninformed opinions?
