In Tijuana, Mexico, a Tesla caught fire after being illegally connected to a powerline, igniting flames that spread to a nearby unoccupied house. Firefighters struggled to extinguish the blaze due to the vehicle's lithium batteries, which are known to burn intensely. The fire department reported that this type of electric vehicle fire is unusual for the area, highlighting the risks associated with 'diablito' illegal connections commonly used for electricity theft. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the incident, which has drawn attention on social media regarding the appropriateness of charging such a luxury vehicle in a low-income neighborhood. This incident occurs amid ongoing discussions about electricity theft in Mexico, which costs the government billions annually. Additionally, a separate incident in Texas resulted in the first fatal accident involving a Tesla Cybertruck, raising safety concerns about the vehicle's design and performance.
