Burning Tesla

The calendar that runs on schadenfreude.

πŸ”΄ The campaign Β· streamed live

Buy a new Tesla. Burn it live.

We're crowdfunding one brand-new Tesla, bought straight off the showroom floor β€” and then, fully permitted and supervised by a professional fire crew, we set it ablaze for the most gloriously documented combustion in EV history. Every backer watches it burn live.

How it works

Three steps to one beautiful bonfire

Funded by you, bought new, and burned on camera β€” every stage documented, exactly like the incidents in our calendar.

Step 1Fund it

Donations and merch sales fill the fund. It opened at 17% and climbs $5 every single day until we hit $75,000.

Step 2Buy it new

We walk into the showroom and buy one brand-new Tesla outright β€” no salvage title, no financing a future bonfire.

Step 3Burn it live

On a permitted, fire-safe site with professionals on standby, we light it up and stream every angle to our backers.

πŸ”΄ The main event

Watch it burn β€” live

The combustion will be streamed in full HD. Every backer who donates gets the private stream link and the full uncut footage afterwards.

Before you ask

FAQ

Is this for real?

The campaign is a satirical art project by the Burning Tesla store. Any actual burn would be done only by licensed professionals, on a permitted and controlled site, in full compliance with fire and environmental law β€” never on a public road and never as a how-to.

What does my donation get me?

The private live stream link, the full uncut footage, and your name on the Wall of Flame. The single highest backer gets to choose how the car burns.

How does the merch ship?

Free worldwide shipping, dispatched within 48 hours, with 30-day returns. Checkout and payment are handled automatically by Stripe.

Are donations tax-deductible?

No. Donations support the campaign and the team behind the calendar; they are not charitable contributions. We are not affiliated with Tesla, Inc.
