Was it an SUV? What car can carry 3 tons inside? That’s 6k lbs.. Volume-wise, it could carry it, but I would think the weight would be too much for the average car. Isn’t the average passenger car rated for like...2k lbs.? Maybe 3k?

I don’t know bustinchops and I must say, sometimes when foreign news translates, I’ve seen “car” or “automobile” used for the word “vehicle” when in fact the “vehicle” could be a truck, van or suv.

If I see an update; I’ll post it.

I wonder if it was a misunderstanding on the part of a non-technical reporter. There might have been 3 cylinders, each with 2000 psig of CL2.

Dunno, just guessin’.
