The car veered off the road, hitting a tree. Two men, one in the front passenger seat and another in the back, were found dead at the scene, said KTRK. They were not immediately identified.
Firefighters said the all-electric car's batteries continued to catch fire, and it took roughly four hours and 23,000 gallons of water to extinguish the blaze.
The vehicle can be driven on Autopilot, but KTRK said it wasn't yet known if that feature was being used at the time of the accident. The feature has come under scrutiny in the wake of a series of other crashes.

Biden proposed spending $174 billion to promote EVs and install 500,000 charging stations across the U.S. as part of a sweeping infrastructure announcement. Broadly, Biden wants Congress to approve $2 trillion to re-engineer America’s infrastructure and expects the nation’s corporations to pay for it.
