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€” 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.

Where it goes

The combustion budget

Full transparency. This is what it takes to buy one brand-new Tesla from the showroom and turn it into a calendar cover β€” legally, and on camera.

$55,000The car

One brand-new Tesla, bought outright from the dealership floor. No salvage title, no financing a future bonfire.

$12,000The burn

Permits, a closed fire-safe lot, a licensed pyro crew, and a fire brigade on standby.

$8,000The stream

A full film + photo crew so the live stream and the 2027 cover look like a movie poster.

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.

The fine print: "Fund the Burn" is a satirical art campaign by the Burning Tesla store. Any actual vehicle combustion would be conducted only by licensed professionals, on a permitted, controlled site, in full compliance with local fire and environmental law β€” never on a public road and never as a how-to. We do not encourage anyone to damage vehicles or property. Donations support the campaign and the team behind the calendar; they are not tax-deductible charitable contributions.
