Parked Tesla Spontaneously Explodes In Chinese Garage
About 24 hours ahead of Teslas coming Investor Day and just moments after we broke the news that Tesla had been granted a restraining order on a short seller who has been critical of the company on Twitter, stunning video has surfaced of a Tesla catching fire and exploding, while parked.
A self proclaimed Tesla owner in Shanghai that Tweets under the name @ShanghaiJayIn posted video on his Twitter moments ago of what appears to be a Tesla Model S, 1st generation, catching fire spontaneously in a Chinese parking garage.
Video at the bottom shows the aftermath of the fire

not just the timing...but the ‘security camera’ footage.... the camera swings to the left on the eve of the explosion... standard security cameras are static. Somethings afoot here.
Nuclear.
Dude, nuclear reactions are not ‘fire’ ...
Riiiigggghhtt. ;)
Like I said. Dump a few tons of wet sand on it.
...
That won’t reduce the heat, which is the goal.
It takes water and lots of it.
I believe wet sand contains water.
I know that, I was speculating on the error of the poster regarding CO2 exploding.
Nice, but for the price difference, I think I’ll keep my 35 MPG Malibu. It may not be a beemer, but the Bose stereo makes it a pleasant place to cruise in.
In 2017, Richard Hammond (one of the hosts of Amazon TV’s “The Grand Tour”) crashed a $2 million 1200 bhp Rimac electric car. Not only did it catch fire during the crash, electric-caused fires continued to break out for the next three days.
When you let the smoke out of a battery with the amperage and complex structure of those in electric vehicles, it is not safe for children and other living creatures.
Amazing mileage! Nice car!

Nothing wrong with Chevys at all...Chevy's making some good cars these days.
Heard that as well ......
I posted this the other day and an asshat mod pulled the thread with no explanation. Guess he doesn’t want me contributing to fund-drives.
Sometimes they pull a post just for being in the wrong category................
