- This is the second known Tesla Megapack to have caught on fire. In September 2022, we reported on a Megapack catching on fire at a giant energy storage project in Monterrey.
A Tesla Megapack used on a mobile Supercharger caught on fire and completely burned down in Baker, California. We previously reported on this contraption that Tesla sometimes brings to busy Supercharger stations. The result is a mobile Supercharger station that Tesla can bring to Supercharger stations when more capacity is needed especially during holidays.
That’s exactly what Tesla did at its Baker, California, Supercharger station for people travelling for the New Year, but the mobile Supercharger caught on fire on January first, according to Tesla drivers stopping by the station. Plugshare user Jonathan posted “currently on fire” on the station’s page on Sunday.
Also, the Tesla commercial inverters on the left and the Supercharger stalls on the right appear to be untouched. It’s not clear what happened. Tesla doesn’t have a press relations department in the United States anymore to ask those kinds of questions. However, this is the second known Tesla Megapack to have caught on fire. In September 2022, we reported on a Megapack catching on fire at a giant energy storage project in Monterrey, California.
