The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has asked Tesla Inc for information about a recent 2021 Tesla Model Y fire in Vancouver, British Columbia, in which a driver reported that he struggled to exit.
While talking to Reuters, NHTSA said the agency “is aware of the incident and has reached out to the manufacturer for information.”
Electrek posted a footage of the incident in which the owner disclosed that he received an error notification and later saw smoke. The driver said before he could get out of the car, he “had to smash the window. … I kicked through the window because everything stops. The power didn’t work. The door didn’t open. The windows didn’t go down.”
