But you wouldn't have that "warm feeling" you get with a Tesla.

I have questions about this image. The battery pack of a Tesla is a sort of “skateboard” design, flat, shallow and basically forming the floorboard between the front and rear wheels. The electric engine is between the rear wheels. The fire shown indicates something highly flammable in the front, which is to my knowledge a storage area and safety crumple zone. There should not be anything there to burn like that.

Do you have the backstory for it, where did the image come from?
