Tesla vehicles have been and continue to be associated with battery fires and fires that are difficult to extinguish (see 1, 2).  Of course, battery fires and fires that are difficult to extinguish have been reported with other companies’ electric vehicles (EVs) as well (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).  Regardless, another Tesla battery caught fire yesterday, this time at a utility substation in California.

There are reports of a utility-scale battery fire at a PG&E facility in Moss Landing, an area located in Monterey County, California.

FYI: the fire causing the road closure on #hwy1 is NOT at the #MossLanding Power Plant. It’s at the adjacent property- a PG&E substation and battery facility.

Local media says the fire has forced a temporary closure of Highway 1 along a 6-mile stretch from Portero Road to Salinas Road.
