Third Tesla Model S catches fire

Update: According to an Automotive News report, "NHTSA said it will contact local authorities about the latest fire 'to determine if there are vehicle safety implications that merit agency action.'" The agency had previously backed away from an investigation after determining that vehicle defects were not to blame for the fire in early October. Just after Tesla Motors reported a $38 million third-quarter loss and within a few weeks of two other car fires, a third Model S sedan reportedly burned on the highway near Smyrna, Tenn. The Tesla Motors Club forum supplied photos of the crash, which occurred around 1:30 Wednesday afternoon, in addition to intense speculation on the cause of the fire.

Now, we have a teaser image from Koenigsegg of a car that’s heading for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and all Koenigsegg has officially revealed is the teaser image (above) and a single line of information: “Celebrate 0 – 100 – 10 with Koenigsegg Automotive at Geneva 2013″.
