"The driver of the Model X had just backed a pair of jet skis into the water 
... the car 'lost traction' ...  the driver received a warning to get out of 
the car, however the power doors wouldn´t allow her to exit the vehicle. 
Luckily, the driver´s husband came to the rescue before the Model X could 
simultaneously sink into the saltwater and go up in smoke. No one was 
injured in the incident ... The fire was allowed to burn underwater until it 
extinguished itself."

I understand the physics, but it's still a bit mind-bending to watch flames 
rolling out of the ocean.

It's worth noting that this phenomenon isn't limited to Teslas.  Any EV 
could have the same kind of accident, though I don't know how many other EVs 
are approved for towing and apt to be towing boats.  

Be careful when launching your boat.
