Tesla Motors Inc., awaiting results of a U.S. probe into crash-related battery fires and which updated software to prevent overheating when recharging, said it’s investigating a fire involving a Model S in Canada.
The fire happened in a Toronto garage this month shortly after the car’s owner returned from a drive, and the vehicle wasn’t plugged in to recharge when it occurred, the Business Insider website said yesterday. “After a few moments, the owner’s fire detector went off and the fire department was called,” Business Insider said, without providing details.
