    There's a video link posted Jan. 1, 2016 at 5:49 P.M. in the comments of the Inside EV's article. The website appears to be a Norwegian tabloid so I don't want to link to it... Fairly impressive fire!

    As always with a Tesla burn or a crashed rocket, I remain firmly in Musk's corner. He's amazing.

    Actually - if you look really close - right next to the area where the fire 1st started at the rear of the car;

    ...hmm so I guess an aluminum F150 is going to look about the same after a fire...guess we might have more melted aluminum in asphalt if more cars are made from aluminum

    Not necessarily. According to the article, the fire department let the fire basically burn itself out.
    If the fire had been put out more quickly, it wouldn't have been nearly as impressive.
