A fire that destroyed a Tesla in France last month was caused by a loose electrical connection, according to the automaker. The blaze occurred outside the city of Biarritz on August 15th during a promotional test drive event called the Electric Road Trip. Two guests and a Tesla representative were in the Model S 90D when the driver, Nicholas Cano, says there was a loud noise and the Tesla employee told him to pull over. The three got out safely just before a fire started that fully engulfed the car in flames within five minutes. However, he says that someone did call a few days later as if nothing happed to offer him another test drive.
