Footage that appeared on the internet shows a Tesla car self-igniting and exploding in Shanghai.

The car filmed by the CCTV of an underground parking garage beneath a mall seems to be alright at first, but, suddenly, white smoke starts to appear from it, and after just a few seconds the vehicle explodes, spitting out flames.

The incident comes just several days after another Tesla vehicle caught on fire and burned down in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.
