Ironic that this fire took place in Smyrna, TN, where Nissan North America manufactures Nissan Leafs.

  Some might say "suspicious". (I mean, that would be a pretty sweet black hat move by Nissan.) Edit: I was joking, you silly people.

    I'd be very surprised is this was actually the case. Otherwise we would have heard of Prius' and Insights catching fire a long time ago. Besides, if Tesla went and crashed a few hundred cars and could not reproduce the fire I'd feel pretty good about their safety. They may have already done this as part of road/crash certification.

      Looks like we need a new "Road Debris Hitting the Undercarriage" safety testing.

    That would be a really dumb move, because apart from anything else, leaf sales will probably go down too.
