Actress Mary McCormack last week tweeted a video of a Tesla Model S in flames with her husband behind the wheel, stoking safety concerns that have recently surfaced over other incidents in which the battery-powered cars have caught fire.

Here’s her video:

McCormack, who starred in “The West Wing,” followed up by saying, “I meant it wasn’t a Tesla with autopilot or whatever. It was a normal Tesla.”

There were no injuries, but Alistair Weaver, editor in chief at Edmunds told CBS News he understands why there might be concern. “Well, of course the video footage itself looks alarmist,” he said. “There’s obviously been some issues with lithium ion batteries in the past, particularly around cellphones, but electric car batteries are very different. It’s a lot of sophisticated technology.”

Tesla TSLA, -2.40% responded by calling it “extraordinarily unusual occurrence,” and that it will investigate the incident to find out what happened. The company also pointed out that it is 10 times more likely for gas-powered cars to catch fire.

“Our initial investigation shows that the cabin of the vehicle was totally unaffected by the fire due to our battery architecture, which is designed to protect the cabin in the very rare event that a battery fire occurs,” a company spokesman said in a statement.

While Tesla skeptics, of which there are many, piled on, Nassim Taleb, New York University professor, “Black Swan” author and Tesla owner, stepped up to defend the company with some tweets of his own.

Taleb’s stats mostly line up with numbers from the National Fire Protection Association, which states that two-thirds of the 152,300 car fires per year, on average, are caused by mechanical or electrical failures.

Meanwhile, Tesla shares just keep chugging along. The stock added another 3% on Monday after Elon Musk showed off the electric-car maker’s newest production line and predicted that those who are short on Tesla “have about three weeks before their short position explodes.”
