    It’s a bit relevant… at least the fact that Teslas are electric cars. The car caught fire while people were inside, which was likely made worse by the battery. It’s not a big leap to make from reading the headline, since batteries are infamous for catching fire

      I don’t think the fire had anything to do with their deaths from the sound of the article. The rescue team pulled the survivor of the car so the occupied space seems it might have been ok. I’m guessing a lack of seatbelts being used when they hit the concrete wall.
