An analysis of vehicle components removed from under the instrument panel continues
An investigation into an electric vehicle fire in which a Tesla caught fire while it was being driven in North Vancouver has ruled out the car battery as a cause of the blaze, according to Transport Canada.
Jutha said he tried to open his door with the electronic button and roll down his windows, but those didn’t work either.Jutha said once out of the vehicle, he immediately called 911. Within two or three minutes, he said, the whole car was on fire. “The whole thing just burst into flames.”After the fire, the burnt vehicle was inspected twice – on June 8 and Aug. 19, 2022, by Transport Canada inspectors along with ICBC officials, engineering consultants representing ICBC and Tesla representatives.
During the second inspection, several components from under the instrument panel – including the left body control module, the steering column assembly, and the car computer – were removed for more in-depth inspection. The car computer was also retained as it may contain some recorded data that could be helpful, said Liu.
After the incident, Jutha said he wanted other Tesla drivers to be made more aware of the emergency door release in the electric vehicles. In that incident, the vehicle suddenly accelerated into a gate, destroying the Tesla. Both the driver and passenger were taken to hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
