The occupant couldn't open the doors, so her husband came back on the just-launched jet ski and helped her out.

Interesting question. If an EVs electronics fail, I assume doors can be opened manually?

Throw a chunk of pure lithium in a bucket of water and it will explode.

Reminds me of the old VW advertisements about how the VW will definitely float, but it will not float indefinitely.

Then there was the one about “If Ted Kennedy had been driving a VW.....”

Surprising how many long lost missing people are found in their submerged car. That crashed into the lake or stream 20, 30, 40 years ago. There is a show on youtube...
