Norway January 2, 2016; At a SuperCharger station in Brokelandsheia Norway yesterday, the Model S burst into flames mid-charge, leaving the vehicle completely incinerated. Thankfully, no one was injured in the blast. The car’s owner left his vehicle unattended while he went to run a few errands. The Tesla itself was not so lucky.

Speaking with Norway’s VG News, a police officer affiliated with the nearby Jon Kvitnes College said, “We received notification at 2:29 p.m. that a car was on fire near a café on Brokelandsheia. We came out with the fire brigade and police, but it turned out that this car was burned out when the emergency services arrived at the scene.”
