Flames on a car? Why is that a problem?

Hotrods always had them painted on them a few years ago.

155 miles in a Tesla takes 53 kWh according to google. If the car is using the 800 volt standard, wattage equals EI or 53,000/800=I or 66 amps at 800 vokts for one hour. To cut this down to 6 minutes you would have to multiply the current by 10 to get 660 amps at 800 volts to get the same power. That’s one heck of a current draw. Engineers feel free to correct my math if I’m wrong.
