Some details in the article:
1) The police stated "no one was in the driver seat at the time of impact" of the Model S
2) Two people died in the subsequent fire from the crash into a tree
3) "it took firefighters nearly four hours and more than 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish the fire."
4) "At one point, crews had to call Tesla to ask how to put the fire out, Herman said."
5) "The owner, he said, backed out of the driveway, and then may have hopped in the back seat only to crash a few hundred yards down the road. He said the owner was found in the back seat upright."

- nexuist 6y agoIs there a particular reason why they had to fight the fire instead of waiting for it to put itself out? IIRC this is what Tesla itself recommends if there is no danger of spreading to nearby objects.
