Updated with video from reporters on-site at the bottom of the post! Late Sunday night, four Tesla Cybertrucks caught fire in a Seattle holding lot near 2nd Ave S & S Spokane St, just five minutes from the local Tesla dealership. Initially, reports indicated two burning Cybertrucks, but as the fire spread, the number grew to 4 Cybertrucks. Investigators have offered no details as to whether this was arson or another case of a Tesla Cybertruck bursting into flames spontaneously. See video from the scene in the full article.

    My gut? We would have video of the arsonists if it were arson, and Elon would be trying to link them to anything political-looking in public.

    They wouldn’t have video if they’re trying to collect insurance on unsold cyber trucks. It’s probably coming from inside the house this time.

      I hadn’t considered that possibility! Would you look at that, Ukrainians hacked in and wiped all the security footage.
