Tesla Owner Breaks Window to Escape Before Vehicle Catches Fire in Vancouver A driver said he had to break his Tesla’s window to climb out as his vehicle shut down before catching fire in North Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 20. James Lester filmed a video that shows a Tesla car with a broken window at the intersection of Mountain Hwy and Hunter near his distillery. The driver says to Lester that he smelt smoke and that the car’s battery had died before he got out. Moments later, the car catches fire and the firefighters extinguish the flames. “I had to smash the window, I kicked through the window because everything was stuck,” the driver says to an onlooker as he watches the vehicle burn. “The power didn’t work, the door didn’t open, the window didn’t go down. “ According to CTV News, Tesla didn’t respond to their request for comment on the incident.
