No collision, no apparent cause; Tesla is reportedly investigating. Negative Tesla incidents are reported widely, much more so than fires and collisionis in ICEVs, probably because the Tesla is novel and distinctive. Whether their numbers represent a greater or lesser percentage of cars on the road and/or miles driven, I can't say. Either way, I do think they represent a serious and growing PR problem for Tesla.
