Just after 3:30 a.m., a parked Tesla burned out completely on the Heemstedestraat in Nieuw-West. This type of car cost about 108,000 euros new. The fire brigade had arrived shortly after the report, but by then it was already clear that there was little left to save. The flames were already shooting out of the electric car meters high.

There was also a lot of smoke released. The exact cause of the fire is not yet known. Given the time of day, arson is not ruled out, but a short circuit could also be a cause. That will be looked into.
