Today was my first time experiencing the frozen door handle of doom. @elonmusk can we add an option to open the door from the app? pic.twitter.com/t8eBWnWFZD

How do you drive a frozen Tesla.
“Battery fires are almost explosive you have a recipe for disaster.”
How else is a lithium ion battery fire different from a gasoline fire?
The biggest difference is the time it takes to ignite. Gasoline fires start almost immediately when gasoline comes in contact with a spark or flame, and spreads rapidly. Battery fires typically take some time to achieve the heat necessary to start the fire.
In some instances, that delay is very good news. It can let the occupants of a car involved in a crash to get out of the vehicle before the fire starts. But it can pose its own problems. Sometimes a battery can be damaged, perhaps by the car running over some debris, and the driver might not be aware of the damage. And then a fire can start well after the initial incident. That could theoretically cause a fire after the car is parked in a garage.
And even when the battery fire is obvious, Tesla warns first responders that it can take 24 hours for a battery fire to be fully extinguished.

“Lithium Battery”
EV’s do not use lithium batteries.
Where have you been?
“Where have you been?”
Took a shower.
“EV’s do not use lithium batteries.”
LOL!
Going from Lithium to Lithium. Got it, thanks!
EV’s use Lithium-ion batteries, not lithium batteries.
The last time I checked, they mine LITHIUM, not Lithium Ions.
“The last time I checked, they mine LITHIUM, not Lithium Ions.”
Do your homework! Or is it you did and now are just being obtuse.
Sorry, nothing about mining “ions” here.

Batteries, not mines. I have the feeling you know the difference but do not want to admit you were wrong.
Low speed accident on camera. The article says the youtuber was testing the latest Beta version of software. Looks like it still has some bugs.
The vehicle should come with an outside plug and a blow dryer.
Standard.
5.56mm
A tarp....................
Hey the F150 King Ranch has outside A/C plugs, seat coolers/warmers and vibrating seats.
And internet.
5.56mm
Yes, but you don’t get any Social Credit Score points for having one!
And you don’t get to look down your nose at the neighbors driving ICE cars.................
When I see those HUGE Lithium mines close, I’ll agree with you.
“When I see those HUGE Lithium mines close, I’ll agree with you.”
Just admit that you know nothing about battery technology and we can move on.
“Going from Lithium to Lithium. Got it, thanks!”
No. Lithium-ion.
