Expert opinion requested
Tesla caught fire: four dead in France
Four people have died in a tragic accident involving a Tesla electric car in France. According to initial investigations, the car collided with several traffic signs at high speed.
According to the public prosecutor's office on Sunday, the vehicle caught fire for as yet unexplained reasons. The accident occurred on Saturday evening near the western French town of Niort.
The four occupants were already dead when the emergency services arrived at the scene of the accident. An expert opinion on the vehicle was also requested as part of the investigation.
Tesla has often been criticized for safety problems. In April, tech billionaire Elon Musk's company reached an out-of-court settlement with the family of an engineer who died in an accident involving a Tesla Model X in Silicon Valley in 2018.
In December, Tesla recalled two million cars in the USA due to potential risks associated with the autopilot function in order to reinstall the corresponding software.
