Technically that’s a class D fire. Those have to be smothered.
The chemicals in Tesla batteries ignite when exposed to air.
IIRC the battery in that car is about 1500 pounds. Lots of fuel.
I understand what an electrical fire takes to put out. That’s pretty basic. But this occurred in major city, and no foam for 4 freaking hours?
The electrical cars are the Napalm bombs on the roads. Hushed fact.
Bush fire, the largest fire in AZ last year, was caused by Prius battery catching fire and pulling out of the road.
Almost 200,000 acres were scorched by the inferno.
That really helped the environment :-)
BTW, all what the media reported - human caused fire. Technically true, but not what really happened.
If you read it, you would think that some idiotic moron was playing with fire. No, it was an environmentally conscious woman, trying to save her life from battery fire.

A battery that weighs seven 210lb. passengers all on it’s own. For a passenger vehicle that seats...five?
