‘Huge plumes’ of smoke as Tesla burned on Auckland Harbour Bridge [Video]

Motorists had to steer clear of a burning car on Auckland’s Harbour Bridge on Thursday night after a Tesla became engulfed in flames.

Fire crews arrived at about 11.30pm to the bridge where the car, which had been travelling north, was on fire.

The fire lasted just over an hour. Two fire trucks attended.

Fire and Emergency has confirmed no one was injured, and the cause of the fire is not clear yet.
