Another reason I don’t want a Tesla...It could turn into a fire ball while I’m in Walmart.
Any anti-Tesla Nazi Gooks around with Molotovs? America freeloaders would be proud. The gray-haired Yellowstone Buffalo Socialists.
“...the cause of the fire had not been determined as of Monday morning. This article will be updated when additional information is available.”
No, it won’t. You’ll see no more about it.
Might only take one bullet in the wrong place to trigger
Awhile back I read an article (posted here?) that said a gasoline-powered car is statistically more likely to spontaneously combust than an EV.
Maybe I’m missing something. But I don’t buy that. When is the last time a gasoline-powered car just sitting there blew up?
EV batteries tend to burst in to flame.
Cheap Chicom crap cars especially.
Tesla not so much, but maybe that’s what happened.
Most likely.
Scratch & dent sale?
I find it interesting that the IC had to ask for permission to use foam and gel. The containment was interesting to.
We are anticipating one day having to contain all water/runoff from any fire we fight. Foam and gel are on their way out, both cancer and environmental concern. There’s a push to halt the use of air drop retardant on wildland fires too.
Will there be enough water for the fire to be extinguished. Can you even imagine the climate around that fire?
Yet another sad case of premature electrification :-/
From the video, it looks like the diesel truck caught fire first. Then it spread.
Set afire by anti-Tesla activists, maybe?
The ninth car on the back of the truck is undoubtedly, a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla
Burn baby burn
Tesla inferno...
