Karma can be quite the funny thing.

About 24 hours ahead of Tesla's coming "Investor Day" and just moments after we broke the news that Tesla had been granted a restraining order on a short seller who has been critical of the company on Twitter, stunning video has surfaced of a Tesla catching fire and exploding, while parked.

It did not appear that anyone was in the vehicle at the time of the explosion.

A self proclaimed Tesla owner in Shanghai that Tweets under the name @ShanghaiJayIn posted video on his Twitter moments ago of what appears to be a Tesla Model S, 1st generation, catching fire spontaneously in a Chinese parking garage.

The video shows what appears to be security footage of a white Tesla that starts with smoke pouring out of the bottom of it. As people can be heard in the background talking in Mandarin, the car simply appears to spontaneously combust.

Before the video is written off as big oil conspiracy FUD, we should note that the Twitter user also has his own YouTube channel, which appears to mostly be positive content toward the brand.

The same user went on to post video of what appears to be the aftermath of the fire:

Aftermath hopefully we will hear from Tesla what truly happened. pic.twitter.com/DuFi0pW9dk — Jay in Shanghai (@ShanghaiJayin) April 21, 2019

We will be following this story and updating this post with further information, as it becomes available.
