Honestly, I've been hearing about Tesla fires for a long time. The batteries are extremely delicate and once they catch fire there's not a lot you can do about it because of the sheer intensity of the heat. These fires happen all the time and they often effect the property around them. In this instance there doesn't appear to be any evidence it's not the Teslas lighting themselves on fire as usual. It is however a great scapegoat that malicious actors could be lighting the vehicles on fire rather than it just being that the vehicles have always been very unsafe.
