Important to note that this is a Tesla model S plaid, which was only released to the public a couple weeks ago in very limited quantities, and has some battery updates. Could be a coincidence or publicity stunt but this is definitely much more concerning than some random Tesla catching fire. Also the release was apparently delayed due to battery safety issues [0] although I couldn't find a direct quote.
