Emergency services swarmed the Auckland Harbour Bridge on Thursday evening after a Tesla burst into flames, causing traffic chaos.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) responded to a car fire on the bridge at 11:30pm last night.

FENZ said two fire trucks responded - one from each side of the bridge. They added the fire caused traffic chaos.

FENZ said no one was injured and the cause of the blaze is unknown.

It's been reported the burnt-out Tesla was being transported to a storage facility.

Footage from the scene shows the front of the Tesla completely destroyed and burnt out.

One witness described the scene as "mad" and said they saw "huge flames".

"It's mad. I'm sitting at the start of the bridge and not moving and watching huge flames coming from a car at the top," Anton Posa wrote on Twitter.
