The new Tesla Model S Plaid started getting hot and trapped the driver! Elon Musk has a big scandal ahead of him

Elon Musk has reasons to be pleased, because in the second quarter of 2021 he delivered a record over 200,000. cars. However, there is a very large scandal ahead of him for ignoring the client who was in mortal danger. His new Tesla Model S Plaid started to burn and the driver was unable to open the door.

Tesla ignored the guy who might have died

The drama took place in Haverford near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The mystery owner attorneys told CNBC that their client was unable to unlock the door when he noticed smoke coming out of his new Tesla. The identity of the unlucky man remains a mystery, but he is known as an “exec”, meaning a famous or high-ranking person. It would be correct, because the Tesla Model S Plaid is a super sports novelty from the American manufacturer.

Our firm & @AthleteDefender represent an exec who purchased new Tesla Plaid Model S, which was 1/250 shipped. On Tuesday it spontaneously combusted. Our client was trapped & could have died. We tried reaching out to Tesla & have been ignored so far. This is car after escape. pic.twitter.com/wXyJXbWggJ

Eventually, the vehicle caught the fire completely, and it took the firefighters as long as 3 hours to extinguish it. Worse, Elon Musk is now faced with a series of questions about the quality of customer service. Attorneys contacted Tesla but reported that they were “so far ignored”. However, making the case public can be a landmark. Tesla is risking huge image losses as their latest achievement is potentially life threatening.

Elon Musk thought it was going to be downhill

The US Road Safety Authority (NHTSA) is already monitoring the fire. If the investigation reveals that the Model S Plaid has a design flaw that favors human life, the car could be withdrawn from the roads. Elon Musk hoped that the vehicle would collect only laurels, because its specification allows for extraordinary performance. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (97 km / h) in the catalog takes 1.99 seconds (independent tests have shown not). Unfortunately, the project does not turn out to be the ideal it was created for.
