I can’t imagine why anyone in law enforcement would ever step foot in a Tesla. It’s like asking them to holster a firearm known to discharge unpredictably. This death of a police officer was entirely preventable.

Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel were called at 2:15 a.m. to the Saugus neighborhood, on Cinema Drive and Bouquet Canyon Road, where they found a Tesla engulfed in flames, a spokesperson for the fire department said

News video from the scene shows the Tesla sedan destroyed in the fire after driving off the road and slamming into a traffic signal pole.
