A few years ago the fightfighters in my town had to undergo new training because there was a tesla car fire at an accident scene that they had a very hard time putting out. Shit just wouldn't stop burning.
Lithium fires need to be doused in salt to put out. Or, technically you can put out a metal fire with gasoline.
You go from a class D fire to a class B fire, and then you can put that out as normal. But yeah, salt is better.
Water is the last thing you want to use on class D fires, followed by CO2. Both have the oxygen ripped off by the burning metal, making the fire burn hotter.
A dump truck of sand also does the trick...but it better be very dry sand
It does. New tech has new problems, but nothing we can't work with
Hopefully a more responsible company can figure out how to make those batteries safer since I'm not counting on tesla to do it.
And it's not because I think their r&d teams are bad. It's more like their narcissistic CEO will probably fire anyone who points out any problems or he'll just straight up ignore them and keep selling his mobile single use crematoriums.
A first step would be for Tesla to make it easy to escape the car in case a fire breaks out and power is cut. You know, as other manufacturers do already.
Fair enough. Tesla as a company gets worse and worse the more I learn about them.
